I totally understand this. Good way of looking at this chronic pain. I always feel guilty for just sitting in my "comfortable" chair and lying in my bed. That's most days. Bed to chair and chair to bed. With a few chores here or there. I try not to complain or be a burden to anyone but, it's very difficult 😕 Trying to stay positive and not feel "lazy". Hoping you are doing well 😊
My new mantra is This is ur life deal with it. Came to me when Fannie my fur baby demanded a walk and my pain level was 8!
It kept me going or walking for longer than most long walks. Usually short....
I've finally decided after 22 yrs of underdeveloped severe spinal pain that it is OK to stay comfortable in supported chair or bed. I get you and I stopped feeling bad about managing my pain. Took very long time since u lose the life u once had!

Tho' I appreciate the concept, since 3 of those 4 aren't an option without help of some kind. Actually, one is currently impossible. The other 3 still require help to do at all!
How specific do you want me to be? I'm classically know for TMI... so before I lay all that out, you'll let me know, won't you?
