How’s your self-efficacy? If you have fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, self-efficacy is one of the more important aspects of managing your illness.
What is self-efficacy? It’s defined as “a belief that one can perform specific behaviors to achieve specific health-related goals.” Sounds simple, but research shows that people with self-efficacy do a lot better with these illnesses than people without it.
