COPD lesson to learn

 
."Your greatest challenge will continue to be to move, move, move!
You cannot allow hard breathing to hold you back.
Working hard, physically, to work through and overcome limitations related to your work to breathe is a MUSTif you are to improve your overall condition and function and to slowprogression of your disease as much as you are able to slow it.
Breathing hard and continuing to push on may 'feel' like it is not good for you, BUTit WILL NOT hurt you!
If you let difficulty breathing cause you to reduceactivity and exertion, you WILL get worse faster than you would if you keeppushing."
This was posted at another COPD group, but the lesson is one I personally live by:)
I just thought I would share it in my journal.
Stay Well with Easy Breathing,
Love to All,
