A reader, Heidi, recently asked about time management and pain.  I invited Jeisea of 一个读者，海蒂 ， 最近询问的时间管理和痛苦，我邀请jeisea的 CRPS-RSD A Better Life crps - RSD为创造更美好的生活 to share her thoughts about this topic. 分享她的思考这个课题。

Getting the right balance between doing pain management therapy and family, work or social activities is almost like walking a tightrope for people with chronic pain.  One of the hardest things is accepting our situation and sometimes letting go of our pre-pain identity.  (I found that really difficult.)  Often the reality is that we can’t do all that we managed to do before.  We need to define what “the new normal” is for us.  Pushing on when our body is telling us we’ve done enough can set us back in the long term, so that we “pay for it” later.  Above all, I think that we need to believe that we deserve to give ourselves the time to work at helping ourselves.获得的权利之间的平衡做疼痛治疗的管理和家庭，工作或社交活动几乎是一样，走纲为人民的慢性疼痛，其中最难的事情是接受了我们的情况，有时不放我们预设的痛苦身份。 （我发现真的很难。 ）往往是现实的情况是，我们不能尽我们的一切管理，这样做之前，我们需要界定什么是“新正常”的是我们。推就当我们的身体告诉我们，我们已经做了不够可以设置我们早在长远，使我们的“支付”后。高于一切，我认为我们必须相信我们应该给自己的时间工作在帮助自己。

Although sometimes the direction life takes us derails our best laid plans, our basic survival plan should be pacing and keeping stress to a minimum.  It’s easy for me to say ‘pace,’ but in a practical sense, how do you do this?  I believe the secret lies in How to Cope with Pain’s articles on虽然有时方向的生活需要我们出轨我们的计划奠定了最好的，我们的基本生存计划应起搏和保持应力到最低限度。人们很容易对我说'速度' ，但在实际意义上说，你怎么这样做？我相信，秘密就在于如何应付疼痛的文章， changing a habit改变习惯 . 。

Here’s what works for me.  I had to get in the habit of doing this by practicing every day.  I divide the day into the number of therapy sessions I can manage.  At present I do five a day.这里的什么工程，我已获得在的习惯，这样做，练，每天我鸿沟一天到的数目治疗会议，我可以管理。目前，我5天。

• Before I get out of bed, I breathe in for a count of 4 and out for a count of 6-8, with a pause in between.  I do 12 sets of in/out breaths, which is about 3 minutes in total.  I increase the time by one set occasionally.  I then stretch whilst lying down, and finally do some exercises sitting on the bed.之前，我跳出床，我呼吸，在一个计数4和为计数6月8日，暂停在之间，我做的12套输入/输出呼吸，这是约3分钟，在总，我增加的时间由一组偶尔我，然后舒展，而躺下，最后做一些演习，就坐在床上。
• About morning tea time, I do breathing again followed by some different exercises (usually either with weights or a band).约饮早茶的时间，我的呼吸再次其次是一些不同的演习（通常是要么砝码或乐队） 。
• Before lunch, I breathe again and do a different exercise.在午餐前，我再次呼吸和做不同的工作。
• Again in the afternoon.再次是在下午。
• And last, in bed at night, I do muscle relaxation and breathe again.最后，在床上，晚上，我做的肌肉松弛，呼吸一次。

My exercises don’t take long, and I vary what I do each time.  The breathing is calming and is mindful if you focus on what is happening as you breathe.我的演习不采取长期的，我有什么不同，我每一次。呼吸是悠闲，是考虑到如果你的重点正在发生什么事情正如你喘不过气来。 Here这里 , ， here这里 and和 here这里 are some good posts on “mindfulness.”  Allow yourself time to practice, and develop a routine whether at home or at work.  (It’s in your employer’s best interest to allow you time for therapy and rest at work.)一些很好的职位上“ mindfulness ” ，让自己的时间去实践，并制定一项例行是否在家里或在工作。 （它的在您的雇主的最佳利益，让您的时间治疗和休息，在工作中） 。

The other things I do are to notice and correct my posture if I’m in more pain or tired, and to try to move “normally.”  The more we move normally, the more we reinforce the “OK” message in the brain.其他的东西，我要通知我和正确的姿态，如果我在更多的疼痛或疲劳，并尝试移动“通常”我们越是动议一般情况下，我们越是加强“确定”的信息，在大脑中。

Be guided by your therapists, and remember to be realistic and keep it simple and do-able.指导您的治疗，并注意现实，并且保持简单和做能。
