Rest
Managing a chronic, painful disease requires balancing activities with rest. Getting enough rest helps you refuel and adds to your energy bank balance, but too much rest can leave you not wanting to move. (Remember Newton’s first law?)
Rest can mean different things to different people. Some find it restful to take a short nap. Others find knitting, crafting or reading restful. Many find rest in prayer, meditation or deep breathing.
Few things add energy to your bank account like a restful night’s sleep, and few things withdraw from your account like staying up too late or tossing and turning all night in pain.
Follow these tips to help get a good night’s sleep and get up with less pain and more energy in the morning.
