Goal setting with chronic illness & disability. How to set goals during health problems! ME/CFS
A discussion about the best ways to set goals with chronic illness especially spoonie conditions! What I’ve learned from 8 years of chronic fatigue syndrome!
Reminder: everyone with ME/CFS is different! So you or someone you know might have a very different experience with ME/CFS than I do at the moment! Also, remember that chronic conditions such as these can change dramatically over time, so my life may look very different to this in the future (and has be A LOT worse in the past).

KEEP REACHING YOUR GOALS IN LIFE ELINOR
Amazing, I always struggle with goals and feeling like I've failed if I couldn't meet a deadline, and then give up. This video is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you 💛
Great video, I have been dealing with the loss of most of my old lifestyle in place of chronic illness and keeping myself in mind is so hard. Often I find myself falling into the trap of setting my goals for others or to "get better" because i feel less human for being disabled. Its such a struggle to keep yourself in mind when it feels like your drowning, your advice to keep your goals in small and achievable steps as well as focused on actual beneficial goals is great advice.

Great video. I have fibromyalgia with severe fatigue on top. I've always struggled with pacing and goal setting in the pace. I take too much on but then I get burnout very quickly.
You are so right - you must set the goals that you want to achieve and not worry about other people’s attitudes. You are the only one who is living your life so it should be all about you 💜
