Lying to yourself

I hate lying to myself. I hate the fact that I have all these marvelous ideas of what I need to do the following day. Just to wake up in the morning, feeling like I have been hit by 3 trains at the same time. Guess what? None of my plans came true. Not a single one! Has anyone had the same issue?

I think you will find that is true for all of us. I think the way around that is to plan on doing one thing and not make plans to do loads.

Yes, despite how well you feel, you must pace yourself. You must also take regular rest breaks.

Having said that, I still have trouble after 4 years in adjusting to what I can and cannot do !!

I am learning to pace myself and not get disheartened when didnt get it all done,,,theres always tomorrow!!

Don't beat yourself up about it, just listen to your body - if it says no its for a reason. Things get done eventually, Annoying though I know but as Dawn64 says thers always tomorrow.

Just take your time, you will learn to listen to your body and what it tells you! Plans don't always work whether you have Lupus or not so don't get disheartened. Take care. x
