RE: Sometimes you take a day off
This sounds like an amazing initiative! I know it will help si many ppl. Question anout spoons.. how do you keept track of them? I feel like im running on empty a good 75% of the time. I want to start excersizing, managing my time, all that.. but its my day off and i could barely get myself out of bed. I cant even imagine how you manage to stay so calm and peaceful and there for everyone... also how does one gain spoons?
I love this question. For me, I usually know about how many spoons I have when I wake up. I'm very cautious about how I parcel them out. I know, for example, I've got to have a minimum of two to deal well with my eldest child. One each for the others. So if I wake up like I feel today, I take my as-needed medication to hopefully bolster my mental wellness and spoon level, and then proceed with caution, doing only the minimum to get by. Getting more spoons? That, for me, came through being able to identify the causes of feeling low. My spoons increase as I release trauma, although they often decrease during the release because it's hard work. I'm guessing it's different for everyone as some people have clear physical spoon-saps. Exercise actually gives me more spoons. I wish I was hitting the gym this morning. I think it would knock the fluff out of my brain.
