For All The Zodiac Signs Who Work Too Much

Every zodiac has the potential to push themselves too hard. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) have the tendency to work too much because they have trouble sitting still and want to fill every second with adventure. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) work too much because they are highly intelligent signs who want to live up to their potential. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) work too much because they want to provide for the people they love the most. And air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) work too much because they are filled with passion and want to pursue their wildest dreams, no matter how hard they might be to achieve.

Every sign in the zodiac has the potential to push themselves too hard – but you need to remember that you shouldn’t make your whole life about work. You shouldn’t feel pressured to fill every second of your schedule. You are allowed to leave space for free time, for leisure time, for time where you’re worrying about absolutely nothing except having fun. It’s not lazy to take breaks. It’s called practicing self-care. It’s called knowing your limits. It’s called doing what is best for yourself in the long-run.

Remember, even though you are in a rush to complete your dreams, you don’t need to be productive in order to have a meaningful day. Your work isn’t the only thing that gives your existence meaning. You matter, whether you’re busy crossing items off your to-do list or not, whether you’re inching close to the finish line or are still miles from your destination. Most people won’t achieve success overnight. It takes time. It takes patience. It takes weeks of work and weeks of rest.

You shouldn’t pressure yourself to work too hard for too long because you’re eventually going to burn yourself out. No one can move at a fast, unstoppable pace forever. It doesn’t matter how much drive you have or how much work you’re willing to put into your dreams. You still need to rest every once in a while. You deserve that break you keep putting off. You can’t keep procrastinating when it comes to your mental health. You need to do what is best for yourself, even if it might mess with your schedule.

You need to stop thinking of working too much as a badge of honor because although your work ethic is admirable, it isn’t sustainable. You can’t expect yourself to work every second of the day, every day of your life. You can still find success without pushing yourself to your limits. You can establish a healthy work/life balance. You can be happy, not just productive.

Remember, you don’t want work to become your entire world. Yes, it’s important to you. Yes, it’s worth putting a ton of hours into. But not every hour. Some time should be spent on relaxation, on friends, on hobbies, on vacations. Some time should be dedicated to making yourself happier, or more comfortable, not more successful.
