“Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery and reflection are essential parts of the process to a successful and happy life.” – Unknown?
I used to find it hard to relax. I thought taking time off was wasting time I would never get back, and I felt guilty for not making use of every spare second.
Then things changed. I slowed down, started smelling roses and enjoying downtime.
And you know what? Turns out rest, recovery and reflection actually make you more productive/efficient/centered/wise. Downtime helps your uptime.
Happy Sunday nerds! Enjoy the day 🙂
