When I seem to have too many chores at one time, I choose the 20-minute rule and do dishes or laundry for twenty minutes and then quit because I feel like I have accomplished something. I tell myself I can rest now. I seem to be able to get through the day better even though I don't finish everything at the time.
Going back to more chores makes the job seem shorter and less burdensome. The doctor said to do this for pain as well. I let the pain develop too long before I take action. If I can reach the area, I do massage and tell myself it is better. Some days I have no problems at all and I practice a grateful attitude.
Sunshine during the day is the best free remedy. Dorisena
