This seems like a good time of year to ask this...
Do you know your limits and stop when you need to? Or do you push through and keep going because there's so much to do?
I used to never stop working and doing, didn't even hardly sleep. When I was a kid, we were taught to work through pain and even if we were ill (we were treated like little slaves). Even up until a few years ago, I would clean house when I was sick... I thought I'm going to feel sick anyway might as well have a clean house.
But getting older has put a stop to that. Now my body breaks down and says, "no more" and no amount of will can keep it going so I have to rest. It's not even an option any more my body makes me stop!
