Sloth Day reminder: Sometimes, slow and steady is the smarter strategy.
When you live with chronic pain, pushing through until you have to stop can sometimes lead to a “boom-and-bust” cycle — doing too much on a good day, followed by needing a long recovery.
Sometimes, being a little more sloth can help you keep going for the long haul.
Pacing strategies are individual. What works best can vary depending on the person, activity, and type of pain. Our occupational therapy team can help you develop a personalized approach to managing your daily activities and finding a sustainable pace.
