It's a new month!
For me, January was an awful month.
I had a big flare-up that lasted weeks. Now that I've come out of that flare-up it's time to work on me. I love planning.
At the start of each month, I write down my goals and I make a plan of things to do that will help me and my AS.
Do you do this? And if so, what are your plans?

I'm glad to be over that flare-up too!
I set small monthly goals, when I put a time limit on my goals it really helps me achieve them!
No big plans for February, but I want to incorporate movement into my daily life. This of course depends on how I feel, some days it might be a 1K walk, other days 5K. I'm also hoping to get back into the routine of stretching every day.
What are your goals?

I definitely need to start putting a bit of time sensitivity on mine so I stop distracting myself and get things done!
That's a great plan and good that you are being flexible with how much you are going to do - good to not put too much pressure just in case you aren't feeling it some days.
I told myself that I am going to try and do a charity run this year. However so far I have ran exactly 0 miles so I need to pull my finger out. I think I will try and at least buy all the gear and attempt a jog by the end of the month!
Where do you plan on going for your walks? And what kind of stretches are you planning to do?
All the best,

Hi
,
So sorry to hear that January was a tough time for you but so glad that you are over that flare up now!
That is actually a really great idea setting monthly goals, I have a few to do lists but they don't have any kind of timing associated with them so a lot of the time the tasks stay on there for months! I may have to change that this month!
What are your big plans for February?
All the best,

I know what you mean, I've been doing the same. I use EVO Architect for my planning.
Thank you for sharing this we are chronic pain warriors! We can do this! Oh I will have to look into the EVO architect for planning. How are you feeling today and what plans do you have for this month? All the best, Ali (Community Member)
