Boundaries & Quality Time

Boundaries & Quality Time

@inhabitoptimism + @generation_lyme collab

Setting boundaries around quality time is essential when dealing with chronic illnesses like Lyme, whether you're the patient or someone supporting them.

 When illness affects your body, new symptoms appear, and the amount of energy you have can change. That can lead to shifts in which activities you are able to participate in and how you can participate. 

As a supporter, boundaries can be vital to maintaining your health. If you are a caregiver or integral to someone's support system, boundaries around quality time can help you avoid burnout.

Everybody deserves to allow themselves the time to assess the best ways to spend their time. That may look different in different seasons, so keep checking in with yourself to see if you need to re-evaluate your boundaries.
