Spoon theory

The spoon theory applied to brain injury

How the theory came into being..

The spoon theory was created by Christine Miserandino’s as her personal story and analogy of what it is like to live with sickness or disability.

The short version of the story
As a person with a brain injury and other energy-limiting conditions, you start your day with a limited amount of energy, a certain number of spoons. The number of spoons per day may vary. You use your spoons on activities throughout the day, and once they're gone, they're gone.
