When you talk about intense training sessions, are you referring to medication?
I’m the opposite. I struggle with discipline, and I’m even less likely to obsess over something to that extent. I’m not very competitive; it stresses me out a bit. My ambition is low, which makes my life very peaceful.
After the last marathon, I’ll only run for my health and for fun, not to improve my times.
I wish I could find a good balance to get some peace in my life aswell!
Luckely I don't do any medications (also 0 drugs & 0 alcohol for me). The sessions are mostly EMDR (trauma therapy) and Psychotherapy. The idea is that during the days you are not in a session you are reflecting on what you learned , even if that feels uncomfortable. For I am not really embraching/ enduring that uncomfortable feeling and really reflecting - but still look for things I can control (like running performance or getting in summer shape), They basicly want me to try and let go the urge to fight the uncomfortable feelings by fleeing into sport performance so I can make time to really process sessions and give the past a place.
My goal would also be to be able to do some sports to just enjoy and for health benefits. Will get there step by step! 🙏🙌
Years ago, I tried to escape the sadness of a breakup by throwing myself into my work, and I became completely obsessed with it. I ended up working 90 hours a week. I only lasted three months. After that, I had to face my sadness, on top of the chaos at work.
Will get there step by step! 🙏🙌
Yeah 🙏💪
