Learn to listen to your body, many times less can lead to more.
Rest is an integral and necessary part of an organized training plan. An athlete when he rests gives his body the opportunity to recover, rest the muscles and replenish the energy it needs to function efficiently. Without it, the body remains stagnant, burns muscle and is more vulnerable to injury.
It also allows the mind to escape the pressure of demanding training and focus on more entertaining pieces. As inefficient as this may seem, it is these moments of inactivity that bring the most innovative ideas, that provide solutions to problems. Because this; Because the mind is allowed to travel through its “files” one could say, unhindered by the directions given by goals or everyday life, it can do the processing it needs, provide solutions and suggest improvements. “Sometimes the highest form of action is inaction” (Mack, 2001)
Listen to what your body tells you sometimes, rest your body and mind.
