Just because someone managed something yesterday doesn't mean they can manage it today.

Someone might have enough energy to go to work but none left to cook dinner. They might enjoy a day out with friends but need the next two days to recover. They might cancel plans, not because they don't want to see you, but because they simply have nothing left to give.

And sometimes, people push through even when they've run out of energy. You may see them smiling, working or getting things done, but you don't see what it costs them afterwards.

One of the kindest things we can do is stop judging people's energy by what they managed to do yesterday, or by what we can manage ourselves. 💜

The Spoon Theory helps explain something we often forget: the same task doesn't cost everyone the same amount of energy.

Credit: Spoon Theory was created by Christine Miserandino in 2003 to explain her experience of living with lupus and having limited energy. Her powerful analogy has since helped people with chronic illness, disabilities and other health challenges explain how everyday activities can affect their energy.

Demi Lynch knows exactly how society treats fatness - as a moral failing.

The journalist constantly cops abuse online, and she says the return of ultra-thin bodies have made her trolls even bolder.

"I can be talking about something not even related to fatness, but because I exist as a fat person on the internet, people still think, "Oh, this is a great time to criticise her," Demi tells Ladies, We Need To Talk.

DBT Skills . Module : Emotion Regulation. Skill : Understanding Anger.
Anger often shows up as a highly visible emotion, but it is rarely the full story.

In psychology and therapy/counselling, anger is often described as a secondary emotion as it frequently masks other feelings such as fear, sadness, hurt, or shame.

'The Anger Iceberg '( saved to photo album 'Emotion Regulation ' in our photos/media folders) is one useful tool to explore what lies beneath the surface.

Equally important is understanding what triggers anger in the first place.

This helpful infographic by shows us that triggers can be understood on different levels:

🔹 Immediate triggers: hunger, stress, poor communication, or fatigue.

🔹 Emotional & interpersonal triggers: feeling disrespected, excluded, or unappreciated.

🔹 Psychological & cognitive triggers: fear of losing control, negative self-talk, or a sense of powerlessness.

🔹 Root-level & learned causes: unresolved trauma, early learned behaviours, or unmet emotional needs.

Recognising our own triggers is one of the the steps to managing our anger in a healthier way.

By becoming curious about what sits underneath the reaction, we can begin to respond with more awareness and less reactivity.
