We celebrate pushing through. Hustle. Grit. The extra effort.
But what if the real advantage isn’t in doing more—but in knowing when to pause?
Energy isn’t unlimited. It fluctuates. And when you’re running low, everything feels heavier. Small problems turn into big ones. Confidence wavers. The mind distorts reality.
It’s not weakness. It’s not failure. It’s just low energy.
And the best response? Rest.
Not as a reward. Not as a last resort. But as a strategy.
Rest isn’t passive. It’s the space where clarity returns. Where momentum rebuilds. Where better decisions are made.
Give yourself permission to recharge. The work will be there. The ideas will come. The energy will rise again.
If you schedule your work, schedule your rest. It makes all the difference.
When in doubt, rest is best.
