Your Question:
How do I keep going when I'm exhausted and in pain?
Answer:
When I'm exhausted and in pain, I remind myself of the importance of structure and planning. Having a daily schedule helps me stay on track and gives me a sense of purpose. I make sure to go to bed and wake up at the same times each day, eat at appointed times, and exercise regularly. I also write down one thing I agree to work on every day and try to follow through on agreements I made with others. In addition to structure, I find that regular exercise is helpful in alleviating pain and fatigue. Exercise releases endorphins, which can improve my mood and energy levels. I also try to stay connected with others, whether it's through prayer, counseling, or simply talking to a friend. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the importance of community in helping people overcome difficult times. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I remind myself that God is with me and that He gives me the strength I need for each moment. I try to focus on the present, rather than worrying about the future or past. I also try to find joy in the small things, like spending time with my family or watching a baseball game (my favorite team is the Chicago Cubs!). By taking things one step at a time and focusing on the present, I find that I can push through even the toughest days.
