Hey, that's a great day out! I bet Legoland is pretty cool. I've never been.

Having a day like that can easily become a push/crash kind of day, like swelling and tiredness. It's so easy to want to push beyond limits in the moment of fun. I still do on occasion but have done so much better having learned tools to self-manage.

Here's a conversation I started -
Moderation and Modification: How can it help your chronic pain:

Having been through the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center, I like to share what I learned that has helped me and I hope will help others. Much of it is common sense when you really think about it, but in our painful moments we can lose track of common sense and just want to do what we want to do! Ugh, the battles.

Anyhow, I hope the conversation helps give some pointers and inspiration. How have you already implemented moderation and modification in your self-care? Has it helped?
