Recently I have been running in 10 different directions. Doing things I want to do, but nevertheless, I am tired. Lost my get-up-and-go. I know all the precautions I should take for overdoing things, so as not to have a CFS flare. But sometimes I just get caught up in all there is to do, and forget to pace myself.
My part-time job at the FSU College of Medicine has really picked up, I am writing a weekly column now for the online magazine Betterafter50.com, plus trying to get my coaching business going. Not to mention the time I want to spend with my family and grandchildren and volunteering at the therapeutic riding stable. Last week I had my first group coaching and teaching gig at a local church, requiring a lot of pre-planning and practice. Housecleaning and grocery shopping are coming in a sad last place. All this to say, I am grateful for the great things happening in my life right now. Really grateful! However, this week I have felt the exhausted feeling that tells me I have overdone it.
