Jason encourages others to listen to their bodies.
Written testimony
Learn to introspect, like really understand your body and how to listen to your body. Understand what makes your body feel good and what makes your body feel worse and continue to experiment and find ways of responding to what your body is telling you and to look after it as best as possible. A lot of it is really hard to do because we have, ingrained behaviours run deep and it’s very hard to change them, but behaviours that maybe would have not caused health issues before you’ve had COVID, that are now leading to health issues. Like your body is in a new normal and until the equilibrium can be like restored you’re going to have to make a lot more sacrifices. That’s what I found personally.
