𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀⁣ ⁣ ✅𝗗𝗼 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸-𝘁𝗵𝗿𝘂 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆. Visualizing what’s expected of you will allow you to prepare for the details most people take for granted. How long will you be standing? Indoors or outdoors? What’s the food situation like?⁣ ⁣ ✅𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝗽. Put your mind at ease by ensuring you have enough supplies at the ready. Purses work great - I’m personally jealous. Thank god fanny packs are fashionable. If I don’t want to lug a backpack around all day, I can seem super hip with a fanny pack slung over my shoulder. ⁣ ⁣ ✅𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘂𝗽. This way there’s a shorthand. If I’m with friends and I look a pale and need to sit, I really don’t have time to explain the entire history of my chronic illness, do I?⁣ ⁣ ✅𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. Unless your big event is ten minutes of speed dating, you’re going to need to pace yourself. Graduations take forever. Weddings seem to last days. Interviews can drag on and on. So look for moments where you can recharge and nourish your body. If you “stocked up,” these are the times to use it and take care of you. ⁣ ⁣ ✅𝗕𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. This is very important. If your body decides this isn’t in the cards today, go easy. A positive attitude and a realistic point of view can go a long way in getting you back on your feet.⁣ ⁣ ✅𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿. Whatever the results, reward your body for the thought and effort. A little pamper, a little takeout, whatever that equivalent is for you, just make sure it’s special. ⁣ ⁣ With chronic illness, nothing is ever certain. But that doesn’t mean we can’t put ourselves in the best position to succeed!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #chronicillness #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #spoonie #autoimmunedisease #spoonielife #chronicillnesswarrior #anxiety #chronicfatigue #butyoudontlooksick #chronicallyill #health #pots #dysautonomia #chronicillnessawareness #invisibleillness #healing #spoonies #spooniesupport #wellness #selfcare #ehlersdanlossyndrome #fibromyalgia #lymedisease #chronicpain #arthritis (at Los Angeles/Hollywood California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmRqawDqIS/?igshid=tz89ql609vqy
