We had a wonderful talk from Raewyn Burroughs neurophysio about PEM and pacing this morning.

Learning to say no was one of the hardest things chronic illness taught me. But it was also one of the most freeing. Protecting your energy isn't selfish, it's survival.
Long story short:
Walking the mile downhill and then back up to school for the end of the day blew my daily Pacepoints budget 👇
Funk Band 🎶 rehearsal just slowed me down, but I will need proper REST this evening.
Same field trip again tomorrow morning 🤔
Midday Tuesday. Under half of today's 'Moderate' movement budget used, despite two treadmill sessions.
Resisting the urge to start preparing for Ofsted tomorrow; as soon as I switch-on to the Inspection there'll be no coming out again 🙏
My #Dysautonomia is under control.
'Pauli Pauli' as a wise Kenyan man once told me (as we climbed Mount Kenya).
'Slowly Slowly'
Just five minutes on the treadmill for my gym cardio warm-up.
#Ofsted inspection at school for me tomorrow, including a long walk to the coast and back at the end of the day.

Does the current hour feel like it is dragging, or rushing past you?
Put the phone face down. Count to sixty without a clock, and see how your internal rhythm aligns.
4pm. Home. And still not used a single PacePoint all day.
This is the danger of a Parasympathetic Swing! I've done so much today, albeit very slowly and with lots of resting on my telescopic stool 🙏

Decided to attend our orchestra rehearsal. Parked just outside, so just a few additional steps. All very relaxing.

Früher konnte Pacing heißen: Spaziergang oder Telefonat? Heute: Telefonieren oder mich morgens mit Hilfe waschen? Mein Spielraum ist kleiner geworden. Was das mit meinem Pacing macht, erzähle ich in meinem neuen Blogbeitrag.
