Dear Brooke, I would say I’m naturally quite organised and analytical. When I discovered your work it felt like such a brilliant fit – I learned to take emotional issues and use a cognitive approach to resolve them. I’ve taken my planning skills to a whole new level and benefited enormously. I’m in a place now where my goals and time are very orderly and structured. I don’t drink or overeat. I want to sustain this but also I feel as though I’ve somehow gotten too cognitive/analytical and straightlaced and part of me is pushing back wanting to rebel. Recently I got sick and I used it as an excuse to eat off protocol, skip exercise and ignore my calendar for longer than was strictly necessary and the worrying part is that it felt great.
Have you ever encountered this before? Is there anything you would suggest to help me get more balance?
