Avoiding Sick Leave Guilt
So I’m up at 2:00 am with the compulsion to note that I’ve already broken one of my blogging goals this year: to blog daily. Unfortunately, I was struck down today with a fierce migraine which, until now, kept me in bed hiding from noise and light. My dedication has not wavered, but I know had I not flushed away the migraine it would be worse tomorrow, taking me out of the count for work for two days instead of one.
So quickly I’ll pose a question for my fellow workaholics out there – how do you deal with the guilt associated with being sick? You WANT to work, but just can’t. Are there techniques you employ or a mantra you tell yourself? How do you avoid the guilt associated with taking a day off to take care of yourself when you’re a workaholic?
Share… let the healing begin!
