Within Your Limits

The goal today is to make sure to stay within your limits. Only doing the things you can do easily, without going into stress mode.

Today is a day of being honest with yourself about what you are capable of, and allowing yourself a day without "pushing through". Even if you get your pride and sense of accomplishment from being the person who can do it all. Take the time today to proove to yourself that it IS a choice, and not a sense of obligation.

Spoon theory by Christine Miserandino. This is a reference to how to understand what it's like living with chronic pain. But I have used this analogy so much in my life!

Another thing to ponder is what exactly do spoons look like to you? Are you getting your needs met? Or do people keep handing you forks when you just really need a spoon?
