Tips and To Dos

Mindful planning with chronic pain

Because we never know how we’ll feel on any given day, it’s hard to plan our productivity. Not just the productivity others expect of us, but also what we expect of ourselves. We can avoid the added stress of setting ourselves up for failure by building in buffers and planning ahead.

Here are some tips and to dos I use daily to manage my chronic pain and prioritize activities.

Bloom With Grace

A Daily Planner For Your Best Life

I am a mom, a wife, a business woman, and a beekeeper. Since my injury in 2002, I have had to use two planners, one to monitor my pain levels, medications and energy output and another to prioritize what tasks need to get done that require my involvement. Because managing my pain is also a priority, I decided to create my own pain planner, “Bloom With Grace: A Daily Planner For My Best Life.”

What works for me may not work for you but I invite you to give it a try. Plus I'd love to get your feedback (which also entitles you to a free planner when they are launched).

Chronic Pain Peer Support Specialist

A 12-Week Certification Training Course

This course is inspired by and designed around my own personal journey. Despite best intentions, communication around the treatment and management of my chronic pain was directed to those around me rather than to me. This is a common occurrence leaving those of us living with chronic pain feeling ‘invisible.’

This comprehensive course’s aim is to train Peer Support Specialists how to offer empathetic understanding, practical coping strategies, and advocacy toward bridging the gap between healthcare providers and patients.

Course candidates will need to schedule an interview to review eligibility requirements.
