When energy becomes unpredictable in Bendy Menopause, pacing helps protect nervous system capacity and allows tolerance to rebuild. Here’s how pacing can look in practice:
• Limit activity before symptoms flare
Stop or slow down before fatigue, pain, or other symptoms increase. This prevents push-through-and-crash cycles and protects physiologic margin.
• Break activities into smaller segments
Divide movement or tasks into manageable portions to reduce cumulative load and make recovery more reliable.
• Alternate exertion with planned recovery
Balance activity with intentional rest periods to lower background autonomic strain and give the nervous system space to settle.
• Start movement in recumbent or supported positions
Minimize orthostatic stress at first, and progress activity only as tolerance allows.
• Track patterns with wearables or symptom logs, not performance
Use heart rate, HRV, or symptom tracking to recognize thresholds and trends over time, rather than aiming for specific numbers.
Ease is not avoidance. It’s a way of protecting nervous system capacity so energy can return gradually and more predictably.
