When you live with chronic illness, even the events you want to attend can feel like a lot.

You may want to show up, but you also know how easy it is to use up your energy before you even get there.

This simple plan can help you

♦ Do less in the days leading up to the event

♦ Choose only one small task each day

♦ Plan ahead so that last-minute decisions do not drain you

♦ Give yourself permission to leave early if you need to

You do not have to do everything before you go. Sometimes doing less is what helps you show up.
