And this is true. But sometimes you need to accept you have a chronic illness that causes fatigue and pain.Last week, I pushed myself too hard and ended up in bed for most of the day. I've learned that it's important to pace myself, but sometimes I still make the mistake of doing too much. This week, I'm trying to take it easy and recover from last week's mistakes. I'm also trying to stay positive and use my experience to help others.In this episode, you will learn the following:1. The importance of pacing yourself when you have a chronic illness.2. The difficulties of knowing your limits when you have a chronic illness.3. How to use negative experiences in a positive way.Resources:The original post can be seen hereChapter Summaries:[00:00:00] - Robert has a chronic illness.
