Kate, again I can relate. I have fibromyalgia along with a few other things and the times I feel good are getting shorter than when I feel horrible. I fought with myself with feeling guilty whenever I needed deep rest and it has taken a decade to accept where I am in life. I love your idea of 1-minute tasks. It is better than my 15 minute things. I will shift to that especially when I feel pain all over. I send you warm hugs.
Oh Kate, I am sorry to hear you are experiencing a flare up. Even if it is a regular occurrence you are able to make peace with, it still sucks to feel exhausted. I had a no-work day yesterday and started beating myself up about it (certainly, I could have done some better self-care!) but I was also able to recall some of our conversations around accepting what is & recognizing that this is what my body needs, even if I might have “prevented” it. Feeling grateful for you and your work, and hope that this flare up can also be a ‘fallow’ time <3
