Leaving my therapist last session she told me I should look into what a “low demand lifestyle” was. My first thought was “f u, no???” and my second thought was “okay but how do I actually incorporate these things?”
I would be grateful to hear how folks of all support need levels have incorporated this concept into their lives.
In my particular situation I have a huge amount of autonomy in my life so most of my struggles are from self demands. It’s a lot easier for me to act on demands from others (so long as I agree they are good demands, things that make sense or that I don’t really care about but care about the person asking so I can do it without too much resistance).
Oh wow I do need to figure out the “default states”. I’ll often push through something because I think I can finish it and it will be so much easier than coming back to it and having to remember all the steps/variables but that’s how I end up working 60 hour weeks 😬
Thank you!
