Life with Chronic Pain and Illness

 

Today’s Life with Chronic Pain and Illness reminder is one that people living with chronic pain and illness often feel the need to explain to others: Taking Time to Rest is Not A Waste of Time.

Taking time to rest is recovery. It’s not being lazy. It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength to acknowledge what your body needs.

Your body will let you know when rest is needed. Share on X But if you’re like me, you don’t always listen … until it’s too late, and then you have no choice. I’m working on listening before it gets to this point, but it’s still a work in progress. Perhaps you can relate.

This post is your reminder that it’s okay to rest. You have permission to do so! (And your body will thank you for it 🙂 )
