Recovering from Long Covid can be a challenging journey, and prioritizing rest is crucial in the recovery process. We understand that this can be difficult when you have other responsibilities, such as caring for children or holding down a job. However, it's important to remember that resting now will help you heal.

To avoid overexertion, it's essential to be mindful of how you're exerting yourself in all three areas: physical, emotional, and mental. Engaging in relaxation activities such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises can help promote emotional and mental rest, while prioritizing sleep and avoiding overexertion during daily activities can help promote physical rest. We'll cover sleep later, as it can be elusive to Long Covid patients, but prioritizing sleep is crucial.

It's important to note that in our modern connected world, we're often in front of screens, listening to podcasts, or watching TV. While these activities may seem like relaxation, they can actually be very tiring and add to your overall burden of fatigue. It's essential to take a break from these activities and prioritize true rest and relaxation.
