43. Is Excessive Travel a Disease and Why Jumping Off The Work Hamster Wheel Can Be Life Altering: Part 5 of My Let’s Go Around the Globe Travel Series

from PerfectWhelm with Eric Slivoskey: The Podcast That Helps Enhance Your Life · host Eric Slivoskey, life coach

Come along for the ride as I share about my research that labeled excessive travel a psychiatric disorder from the mid 1800’s until the early 2000’s. This condition is called Dromomania, and I’m here to talk more about it. I also talk about my friend Cathy Heller’s perspective concerning how choosing to get off the work centered hamster wheel can be so life altering. I agree with Cathy’s observations that we so often buy into the lie that life is about work-work-work, that our worth is measured in productivity, and we are misguided by the belief that school and set schedules and constant motion are what prepare us for "real life." But in the process, we throw away the most magical years-the ones right here, right now.Life should not be about waiting until the weekend, not about waiting until we retire, until it’s summertime, or waiting until that 3 day weekend arrives to finally live.PerfectWhelm Podcast Links & Resources: -Schedule a free discovery call with me to learn more about my coaching programs and services -Email: [email protected] -I hope you will follow, subscribe, rate, and/or share the podcast with someone you think might benefit from it.
