The "Impossible" Choice: Resting Without Guilt or Pushing Through Regret (And How to Finally Break Free)
Inside: Your FREE Gentle Productivity Planner, because managing your energy, not your time, is the real secret to reclaiming your days.
That familiar dread washes over you. You have one thing on your list today. Just one. But your body is screaming, your brain is foggy, and the internal battle begins:
"If I rest, I'll be lazy. I'll fall behind. Everyone will be disappointed."
"If I push, I'll crash for days. The pain will be unbearable. Is it even worth it?"
This isn't a choice; it's a trap. And it's one that Fibro and ME/CFS warriors are forced into every single day.
For years, I lived in this exhausting cycle of guilt and regret. I believed my worth was tied to my productivity, even as my body begged me to stop. It took a complete breakdown to realise: the problem wasn't my willpower; it was my system.
The truth is, healing requires a new mindset and the right tools. It's not about doing more; it's about doing what matters without sacrificing your health.
In this post for our community members, you'll discover:
The 3 mindset shifts that silenced my inner critic and ended the guilt of resting.
My simple "Energy Accounting" system to predict spoons and prevent crashes before they happen.
How to create a "Win List" (not a to-do list) that celebrates what you did do, fostering a sense of accomplishment instead of failure.
