Workaholism Isn’t Drive, It’s an Energy Hijack

We glorify the grind.
Late nights, stacked calendars, “just one more thing before I log off…”

But what if your compulsion to keep going isn’t ambition?
What if it’s an energy hijack?

Many high performers don’t realize this: chronic overworking often isn’t about passion, purpose, or drive. It’s about an unspoken, unresolved urgency.

An underlying hum of “not enough.”
A nervous system that never quite feels safe.

So we work.
Because accomplishing something gives a temporary hit of control, worthiness, or relief.
Because sitting still feels uncomfortable.
Because slowing down means feeling something we’ve worked hard to avoid.

But the truth is—
You could finish the to-do list.
Land the dream title.
Hit every goal you’ve ever set…

…and still feel the hum.

Because no amount of external success can fix an internal energy loop.

Until you slow down and address the current underneath the current,
you’ll keep trying to outwork the very thing that’s driving the overworking.

The shift isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing from a different energetic state.
One rooted in safety, intention, and actual fulfillment—not survival.
