Sometimes I have to plan like if I have an appointment but otherwise I take 1 day at a time. I know many here have more obligations then I so that is not possible. I just try to get through my days in the best possible manner mentally and physically. For my pain it is important to push but not too push too much where I pay for days after. For me it is also important to identify what is the physical pain I can't push through and the mental pain that makes me feel like I don't want to do anything. Especially when I have had a few ruff days pain wise back to back mentally I get down where I don't feel like do anything so that is important to push through. If I take on activity that I know will result in a high pain later it does make me anxious and hard to enjoy but at the same time I sometimes feel like I at least accomplished. It depends on the type of pain it results in.
