I have done several workshops about business stuff, and they're always like, you can do 3 things in a day! I'm like, whoa, I try to accomplish way more than that, and I've got less energy to do it with, no wonder I'm struggling. PACING. This concept is helpful, and my husband gets it, and reminds me...he helps pull me back on good days, and coaxes me into things on bad days. Also, I find a huge difference in letting go of the things I NEED to do, and doing the things I WANT to do. If you wait to get to the wants after all the needs are addressed, you'll be miserable, because you'll never get to do them. Sometimes it helps to re-evaluate what needs done!

I have the 10 minute rule....If I see something that needs done and I don't feel well, I give it 10 minutes to deal with the task. If after 10 minutes I feel worse then I quit and take a 10 minute break. I seem to get more done when I am allowing myself a break.

I feel exactly the same. The house is never clean enough and I never get around to doing some of the bigger projects on my list. When I was healthy, I worked full time in a stressful job, the groceries were always done and the house was clean. I don't understand how one can deteriorate so fast. Very frustrating, you are not alone.

I like ReneeRenee 10 minute rule...that sounds pretty good, but I can relate, I work 50 hours a week and I get very overwhelmed throughout the day and my neck and back suffer the most with my legs.... I have to stop, pause, take a deep breath from the belly and out through the mouth, re-adjust myself and move on.

Thanks Renee that's a great idea. I'll try that.
