Spoonie Eds Pins and Buttons
Description: What is Spoon Theory? Spoon Theory is a way to conceptualize the amount of energy that a person spends doing different types of activities. Spoons represent a sort of energy currency that help those living with chronic illness or disability (affectionately called “spoonies”) to manage their energy, effort, and recovery. Spoonies need to make decisions about how to “spend” their spoons, and they must be diligent about recovering and replenishing their spoons before spending more. Spoon theory was created in 2003 by blogger Christine Miserandino, who lives with Lupus. Copyright 2024 Veronica Foster / Mermaid Ronnie, All Rights Reserved
Description: Spoon Theory helps folks with chronic illnesses talk about energy levels! "I'm saving spoons today because I have a big presentation tomorrow." "I think it'll take too many spoons to shower today, so I'll just use dry shampoo today and shower tomorrow." "I used up my spoons faster than I thought today, so I think I'd better go home." Thanks for supporting a spoonie artist! Feel free to send me a message if there’s anything you’d like to customize! I can change colors and scale and all kinds of things.
