The importance of rest and recovery particularly for the CNS, are not stressed enough, in my opinion. I'm convenienced that the recovery I've achieved would not have been possible without it. It's not a quick or easy fix, but that's probably not possible.
Choosing your battles is a good one too.

Don't look back! Keep courageously moving forward, while being mindful that we have much to learn from adversity. Allow yourself time to grieve if need be. If you are having a tough time, remember that "This too shall pass".
Love yourself

This is what I wrote recently for ActiveMSers and I believe it's helped a number of folks. It's on my short list of best tips for MS.
[QUOTE]When you’ve got a disease like MS, you’ve got to make some adjustments, some little and some big, there’s just no getting around it. But there is one adjustment that trumps them all. One adjustment you have to make if you are going to have any chance at getting the upper hand on your multiple sclerosis.

Realize you are more than this disease.
Find things (hobbies, places, people) that take your mind off the disease. Don't let the disease, if possible, become the focus of your life.
Exercise and live life to the best of your ability.
You can't change the fact you have MS and the difficulties that may come. You can be happy --- happiness is a state of mind. Change the things in your life which no longer make you happy.
It's okay to grieve, to experience the range of the emotions brought about when dealing with MS.Diagnosed 1984
