Time to grow-up.

Do what you HAVE TO DO first.

When it comes to hobbies/recreation/exercise...do what you CAN DO and what makes you feel good.

If you can't do something at the moment....don't do it. Do something else;take a rest, etc.

If you can do all the vital things...consider yourself lucky. Lots of people can't.

when it comes to the other things, put them in perspective. They're not essential; not all that important. There are many ways to spend free time.

Getting it in your mind that you HAVE to do a certain amount of miles or a certain amount of time, etc. often does more to ruin enjoyment of both the activity in question, and even non-related areas of your life. Being fanatical about hobbies/recreation, tends to take the fun out of them. When it comes to such things, do what you can, when and if you can. They are not the essence of life. They should be causing you to have fun and enjoyment...but you are letting them cause you anxiety. That shouldn't be.

I couldn't ride for two months, recently. I didn't stress about it- The time off was a nice change- and I did a lot of walking, instead- and really ended up enjoying myself.
