Show Notes
Having a list or “menu” of ideas for what to do on those higher symptom days can be helpful to have before you actually need it.
This could be a time when you’re riding out an attack and looking for things to do that are gentle but stimulating to help pass the time.
Of course, what will be the best fit will depend on the person and the symptoms on a given day.
Save this episode to come back to because I’m walking through a whole list of low-demand activities that can be enjoyable on higher symptom days.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
Why you need a go-to activity list before a high symptom day hits
A reminder to always reach for your toolkit first on harder days
A variety of gentle indoor and outdoor activities to note
An upcoming MCAS webinar you won’t want to miss
Having a list of things your brain already trusts on a hard day isn’t just self care, it’s part of your toolkit.
