Slow down, give yourself a break

Feeling like you are in a constant battle?  With your condition?  Your self-care routine?  Your own inner critic?  Know when to retreat.  Rest when you need to rest.  Cut back on activities when your body isn’t up to the challenge.  Set priorities.  Decide what needs to get done – starting with your self-care – and what doesn’t need to get done.  It’s not about giving in, or giving up.  You are honoring your own needs.  After all, nobody’s awarding any Purple Hearts here.
