Something I have to constantly remind myself of as well as those around me is that due to life with chronic illness EVERYTHING I do all day long, is 10X harder… at least!
Doing that school or work assignment… 10X harder… doing the laundry… 10 x harder… walking the dog… 10x harder… driving the car… 10x harder… taking a shower… 10x harder… all day, everyday the additional effort it takes to complete these various tasks of typical daily living begin to add up on us and if we are not very careful to balance these tasks by taking frequent breaks to rest, or asking for help where necessary, we will find ourselves completely brunt out, severe fatigue for days upon days, increased pain, weakness, dizziness, heart troubles… whatever our usual symptoms are they are worsened with over-exertion.
Please, be kind to yourself today, remember that everything is much harder for you, do your very best to be grateful and content for where you are in life, don’t compare to what others can do and accomplish, remember if you were in a healthy body… with the determination you have acquired through life with chronic illness… you would be an Olympian or a top enterpenuer/CEO by now! Head up warrior… don’t measure your worth by outward achievements, but by inner strength, and peace.
