Leaving my therapist last session she told me I should look into what a "low demand lifestyle" was. My first thought was "f u, no???" and my second thought was "okay but how do I actually incorporate these things?"

I would be grateful to hear how folks of all support need levels have incorporated this concept into their lives.

In my particular situation I have a huge amount of autonomy in my life so most of my struggles are from self demands. It's a lot easier for me to act on demands from others (so long as I agree they are good demands, things that make sense or that I don't really care about but care about the person asking so I can do it without too much resistance).

Good stuff.

Reading that alleviated a lot of pressure.

That sounds like that approach would better fit me too.

Accepting when can. Not imposing a rigid scheduled structure that I'm demanded to meet.
