- Ignoring what your body is telling you.
- Getting caught by old habits and routines.
- Not saying “No”, or negotiating with others what is right for you.
- Being fearful of symptoms. This can then lead to avoidance behaviours. Disrupt daily activities and plans. Then there is the risk of getting stuck in peak / trough, and not doing enough to support your continued well being.
- Feeling overwhelmed by symptoms which may affect your mood.
- If you are struggling to put pacing into practice you are not alone.
- The application of pacing can be a challenge. You may be trying to change lifetime habits and ways of doing things.
- Speak to someone, a friend / family member , or health care professional – a problem shared and talked through can often offer new solutions.
