Idk if anyone here has heard of Spoon Theory but living by it and adjusting my life accordingly was critical for me!
Spoon theory?? What is this?

It typically is something that people with Chronic Illness use to manage their lives but this photo does a good job at giving you an idea I think
Feel free to ask any questions!

This is very handy. My wife has been recovering from major surgery and had a couple setbacks along the way and she gets frustrated that 10 weeks later she just can't do all the things she used to do in a day and feel ok the next day. She is getting better but I think this might help her understand that currently she is healing slower than expected and she needs to pace herself.

I am glad I could help!!! For me I was 21 and so the idea of "slowing down" or "taking it easy" were words I didn't know what they meant. Spoon Theory also helps me relate how I am doing to others since it is something that they can see themselves. Explaining it without something for people to visualize is impossible in my book
