Thanks for sharing this. I just had a conversation yesterday with a colleague that I'm not the same person I was 6 months ago. I too have come to realize how precious life is. Nothing like contracting

a deadly virus for a little perspective. I too am also terrible at waiting. I was formerly a Type A personality, a chronic worrier, and I would obsess over the littlest things. Mostly, I just didn't ever want to wait. Now I go for walks, listen to music, meditate and most importantly, I give myself a break. I've also given myself time to heal. No lists, no timetable. My job is to help my body heal and to do things that help with this goal. It's not always easy, but I think the investment is worth it.

Thank you Lisa. Another thought provoking piece. I think a lot of long coviders who are at the 6 month mark are realising there’s no point in waiting to get better because well... 6 months have just passed doing just that! Having said that, it has been a life changing 6 months and not just in bad ways but some good ways too. For one, the relationship with my husband is much deeper and more loving, and I love love love nature outside my bedroom window 🥰
