Learning How To Pace Yourself

I came across this article and it is perfect for us with chronic illness. It explains the cycle we all go through by pushing ourselves too hard to get things done which then causes a flare and we are back in bed. When we feel like we are able to do things again, we get up and push ourselves again too get everything done that we had to let go while we were resting...another flare, back to bed and the cycle continues. Check out this article, "Pacing: What It Is and How To Do It" from the CFIDS/FM Self Help website. I am not done reading all of it yet, but it is definitely what all of us need to learn to do so we don't always over do it.
