Why do I?

Woke up with a cough and sore sinuses again.  Why do I keep driving myself to my limits and then get sick?  And then rush out to do things before I am properly better and then get sick again?

Funnily enough yesterday I got this picture of myself and my family from one of my daughters.  The man standing on the left is my ill father who used to do exactly the same thing.  He worked like crazy all his life to support his family of eight children. Then he got cancer and was looked after for the last two years of his life.  The only time in his life when he allowed this to happen.

I want to find a way to stop this similar pattern in me.
