So - my question: What kind of structure do you have in your life?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">
I have a lot of routine built into my life because of my job and kids. I have to go to work at a certain time, get kids ready for school at a certain time, make their lunches, cook their dinner, etc. I am not sure I value that routine very much, but those are things I must do each day.

WinterRose, what I thought of first when I saw your post was the different aspects to one's existence and how one develops and coordinates them all. That is a kind of structure. I know my T has spoken to me before about these different components: intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical, social, creative (not sure if I'm remembering them all). I feel like those are too much to work on all at once, so I am tending to focus on the intellectual, emotional, and physical right now. The creative and spiritual I am leaving for later when I have made more progress on the others; they will almost be a reward for my progress. Not sure this is what you had in mind or not...
