How Can Cancer Patients Balance Activity and Rest?
Balancing activity and rest is key to avoiding overexertion. Patients can adopt strategies such as:
- Setting realistic goals: Break down daily tasks into manageable segments. - Pacing: Alternate between periods of activity and rest to avoid prolonged exertion. - Listening to the body: Pay attention to physical cues and rest when feeling tired. - Prioritizing activities: Focus on essential tasks and delegate or postpone non-urgent ones.
