Per Merriam-Webster

Structure: 1 : the action of building
2 a : something (as a building) that is constructed b : something arranged in a definite pattern of organization
3 : manner of construction
4 a : the arrangement of particles or parts in a substance or body b : organization of parts as dominated by the general character of the whole c : coherent form or organization
5 : the aggregate of elements of an entity in their relationships to each other

Stricture: 1 a : an abnormal narrowing of a bodily passage; also : the narrowed part b : a constriction of the breath passage in the production of a speech sound
2 : something that closely restrains or limits
3 : an adverse criticism

That being defined, you ever wonder if your life is either severely structured or have severe stricture? Lately I feel like mine is so structured or strictured depending on how you look at it that I just do the same thing over and over again with no deviation what so ever from week to week and that’s becoming sad. How do you get out of that rut? What deviations do you make to think you are doing something different and exciting even if you really aren’t? Like tonight my BIL will be putting on some new brake pads when I get home from work. That is going to put a dent of at least a half hour to an hour in the already laid out plans of my day to day life of normalcy to me. How do you overcome it?

  1. My life is fairly structured and I’m a creature of habit I guess. I’m content is the bottom line.
