Rest is productive

Rest is productive.
I’m producing new energy when I rest!
All along, I had trouble truly resting. Explains a lot of the recurring burnout I experience every year. At least one big burnout per year, several smaller brown-outs during the rest.
But I feel I am getting the hang of it now.
At the ripe old age of 46.
Just had another rest day this Sunday.
Nice ribeye steak.
Coffee.
Walking around.
Showered.
Chillaxing at home.
I’m truly starting to enjoy doing nothing.
I think the next step to really getting the hang of it is to start thinking that even if rest is not productive, it doesn’t matter.
Rest is rest is rest.
Onwards.
