wanttoheal, for me, it doesn't end, it changes and I become better at riding it all out... As life pulls me along, I am better at not overdoing, which has been a biggy. I want to do/be so much more than my bod and mind are capable....

Accepting my limitations where they are today while leaving room to heal is a delicate balance. I've tended to push it past my limits but, with age, I'm improving on stopping before I'm a total mess. Better at turning my focus to something else... I take little bites from a lot of "projects" with lots of time outs to reset all my parts back to go. (Traction and meditation.)

I make lists: things I can do, things I need to do, want to do, etc.. Then, when I need to move on, I can remind myself of my options. Self acceptance. Brain training. Perseverance furthers. Ya can't rush it. Darn.
