Day 4 was my first rest day. Here's a quote that completely sums up my day.
"The time to relax is when you don't have time for it."
-Sidney J. Harris
I have been on a nonstop grind for 3 straight days. Two or three hours of sleep a night isn't enough when you are engaged and active for the other 21 hours of the day. If you're the same exact person as you were yesterday, that means you aren't making any progress. And sometimes, to progress, you have to give your mind and body time to recover. Machines require maintenance. If you run a machine 24/7 without taking time to maintenance it, you will lower it's efficiency, and eventually break it. Without rest days, you run a high risk of over training or injury. You have to find how much time your mind and body needs for rest and recovery.
What's the takeaway? Everyone is different. Even though you may be extremely dedicated and passionate, you still have to take a day off every so often. It will make you better at your craft.
That's all for today.
