Chronic fatigue can blur the line between body and mind. These first days help you notice patterns of energy and symptoms without judgement, laying a calmer foundation for pacing.

Day 1: Track how your energy rises and falls across the day.
Day 2: Practise meeting fatigue with kindness instead of frustration.
Day 3: Catch the first flicker of guilt when you need to rest.

Fatigue often sparks harsh self-talk (“I should push through,” “I’m falling behind”). These days use CBT tools to balance those thoughts with evidence, and grounding techniques to calm your nervous system.

Day 4: Test the “push through” story against your past experiences.
‍Day 5: Notice one small comfort or achievement despite low energy.
‍Day 6: Practise a sensory reset to ease tension and recharge.

Managing fatigue means aligning choices with your values while respecting your body’s limits. These days focus on pacing, boundaries, and cultivating small joys that fit your energy envelope.

Day 7: Match today’s activities to your values, not your guilt.
‍Day 8: Place healthy boundaries around overcommitment.
‍Day 9: Savour a micro-moment of joy that doesn’t drain energy.
‍Day 10: Celebrate strengths revealed through past fatigue challenges.

The final stretch turns insight into long-term resilience. You’ll practise “opposite action” against isolation, create a flare-day plan, solve one fatigue-related challenge, and write a note of compassion to your future self.

‍Day 11: Take one gentle action toward connection despite tiredness.
‍Day 12: Visualise tomorrow unfolding with balanced pacing.
‍Day 13: Map out practical steps for a current fatigue challenge (e.g. work, errands, social plans).
‍Day 14: Write your future self a note of patience and care.
