You have probably heard about 'Pacing' so many times before but are you pacing correctly?
What is Pacing?
Pacing is about maintaining an even level of activity throughout the day rather than trying to get everything finished in the morning and having to rest in the afternoon. Living with a chronic pain condition is very unpredictable, you never know how you will feel from one day to the next!. When you are having a 'GOOD DAY' you will probably try to get everything done in one go, this is very common as you don't know when you will have another one! Only to find you suffer a 'flare up' the following day so need to rest, or you carry on with an activity until the pain forces you to stop, does this sound familiar? we are all guilty of this! Which is why we need to learn about 'pacing'.
