Spoon theory explained!

The Spoon Theory is a metaphor used to explain the limited energy or "spoons" that people with chronic illnesses or disabilities have each day. Each task or activity requires a certain number of spoons, and once they're used up, the person may not have enough energy to do anything else. It's a way to illustrate the challenges of managing energy levels when dealing with chronic conditions.

📒Notes: keep in mind spoon SPOON-ROLLOVER. If you use more than 10 spoons today you’ll have less spoons tomorrow. Keep track of how much effort an activity costs you and save yourself from burn out!

📒Notes: It’s a better way to explain to friends and loved ones that you don’t have the capacity to do what you’re being asked, and there’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you’re aware of your mental capacity for tasks!
