Minimize the Disruption of Daily Life With Chronic Illness
In order to remain as independent as possible and to minimize the disruption of daily life, consider changes to your daily routine and surroundings. For example, doing normal activities can be quite painful. Activities such as walking, taking the stairs, squatting, sitting for long periods, and getting in and out of vehicles become a challenge. Every patient and their family should assess their daily surroundings and prioritize the modifications needed. This can help the patient maintain their independence and function.

Better Your Time Management with Time Blocking
When you are in chronic pain or chronically ill, you can manage better if you are organized and goal oriented. I like to practice something I learned called Time Blocking. We typically practice this in project management without knowing that there is a name for it. We have to get things done daily and Time Blocking lets us focus on doing one task at a time and letting the rest go. As patients trying to cope with everything while the health problems are eating most of our energy. Sometimes I find that gradually things have just gotten out of control because of too many down days.

Hang Out with People That Are Good for You
Positive people are good news! We all have had a friend or two that are draining. People in our lives who leave us upset or confused every time we see them. When you have enough to go through you do not have to hang out with these naysayers. Pain patients have to be the best advocate for ourselves as possible and that may mean that others do not always like your choices. That is ok! Often times this negative person, is a patient themselves dealing with their own issues. Maybe they do not realize what stress they are putting on others around them.
