Why workaholic me...

Now, according to some article, we humans have two major kinds of personality -- Type A and Type B. Referring to the article that I read "A and B Personality Types"(http://www.soulselfhelp.on.ca/AB.html)

I think I am more Type A than Type B. When I read on, I found the following which is the workaholic side of me is actually a self-destructive tendency.

Self-destructive tendancies:

    over-working
    gorging on high-fat foods
    overuse of stimulants
    low levels of exercise
    high alcohol intake
    smoking
    no time for self care

    works during vacations
    over-plan vacation's activities
    works in bed
    inability to relax/be unproductive
    fails to notice beauty/scenery/'smell the flowers'
    over-schedule themselves
    over-committed
    guilt over relaxing
    always works more than eight hours a day
    sits on edge of chairs
    make fists
    clench jaws
    taps fingers
    jiggles legs
    rapid blinks
    never still
Those highlighted in red are things that I do.

'Workaholic'

    recreation only with friends from work
    better communication at work than at home
    organized hobbies
    work as a substitute for intimate contacts
    reading is all work related
    work late more than peers do
    when awakened thoughts go to work
    live by deadlines and quotas
    creates unnecessary deadlines

I think I really messed up my life with all the things mentioned above. I need a way out so that I live freely from bondage of my work.

Steps to freedom are fearful. I wonder if I would be able to continue...

Now I understand how the Israelite felt when they left Egypt for Canaan Land.

Am I going to obey and continue walking and trust that God will provide everything that I need? I will try my very best...
