So this fatigue is at a an all time high or would that be low.
This gif is a perfect depiction of how I have been feeling lately. My main activity for the week has been sleeping. The fatigue is so bad there is definitely some sort of relapse happening.
Everyday I pick a household chore to complete because I was exhausted to begin with so I was trying to use what energy in the most efficient way. I’m definitely thinking it’s time to hire a house cleaner.
Do you have a house cleaner?
Now let’s touch on Spoon Theory. Many chronic illness suffers refer to themselves as spoonies, because we all are only allotted so many spoons a day to complete the required tasks. Lately I have not had many spoons to use even the most menial tasks. I’m probably at 2-3 spoons today and unfortunately I have appointment that I need to attend so it will be an exhausting day.
How many spoons do you have today?
From Dr. Jennifer Hendrick,Psychologist, PhD, here are some ways to manage your fatigue by managing your energy;
-Do you have to do it?
-What would happen if you didn’t do it?
-It is ok to say NO
-Is there a way you can complete the task differently?
-Try pacing yourself
-Alter your expectations
-Wait for cooler/warmer weather
-Use a different method or approach
-Take frequent breaks
-Alternative between physica and cognitive tasks
-Don’t over book yourself
As you see this post is not very long this time mainly because there is not enough energy for any more.
