Living with Long COVID
Manage episode 427166659 series 3584427
16. Have you ever worked through a serious illness or recovered from an injury that left you questioning yourself and your capabilities? When you can no longer trust your body to deliver for you, what do you do then?
Before I caught COVID in August 2020 and then dealt with the aftermath of long COVID, I had no idea what it was like to struggle with a chronic illness that held me back from what I wanted to achieve in life, work, and relationships. Learning to deal with health challenges (or support a loved one through them) requires us to question our assumptions, come up with creative solutions, and figure out new ways of "being" to thrive amidst unpredictability.
In today's episode, we discuss:
- What it's actually like to discover & experience long COVID
- Resources for aiding recovery from COVID
- Avoiding burnout and overcommitting ourselves
- Being in integrity to keep and honor your word when your health is unpredictable
- Protocols for pacing - spoons per day, wellness days, and open communication
- The importance of downtime when your body needs it
...and more!
