I thought this FB post was interesting. I know women have cut their hair short because of the maintenance; this might be an option for some.

✨ Today’s reminder from my body: pacing matters.

I’ve done very little, and still nearly maxed out my energy points for the day. That’s the reality of living with chronic illness — sometimes “rest” takes just as much effort as “doing.”
So today, I’m honoring the slowdown. Resting isn’t giving up; it’s choosing to keep going tomorrow. 💤💙
