Athletes regularly plan time for recovery, both at a micro and macro level. They plan days off for muscle recovery and schedule larger chunks of time where they reduce frequency and intensity to help their bodies recover.
There’s no reason we can’t bring this to every area of our life. We need regular time for mental, emotional, and spiritual rest and recovery. It’s at this moment that we make new subconscious connections, arm ourselves for greater creativity, and give ourselves the room make grander revelations and leaps in life.
We should live our lives at 100, but growth happens at the resting in-between the stress.

This was a really needed message today!
