7 Days of Christmas - Chronic Illness Edition

Permission to Pace

This season asks for so much, but your body may be whispering or shouting for less.
Less rushing. Less explaining. Less pushing past your limits just to keep up appearances.

Pacing is often misunderstood as giving up.
In reality, it’s an act of wisdom.

It’s choosing sustainability over burnout.
It’s learning that rest is not a reward for productivity it’s a requirement for survival.
It’s allowing your nervous system to stay regulated instead of constantly bracing for the next demand.

When you pace yourself, you’re not missing out you’re preserving yourself.

Reminder

You are allowed to move slowly in a world that rushes.
