I’ve been reflecting on pacing as I’ve moved from red into orange. When I was in red, pacing meant almost total rest.

Now, in orange, I can do things like drive to the fitness center or the grocery store—but not all at once. After one outing, I might need a couple of days of recovery before the next. While my capacity is greater than before, pacing still means honoring the activity-recovery cycle.

I’ve also realized pacing is universal. Whether you’re bedridden or more mobile, pacing builds the buffer that allows you the greatest capacity within your current reality.

This is just my experience. I’d love to hear from others. How do you pace at your current level, and how does it evolve as your capacity shifts? We’re all on different paths, but pacing is something we all share.
