Invest in Rest

Life can be demanding.

We’re frequently pulled in different directions. Some do a really good job of taking time out to rest and recuperate while others struggle. We invest so much energy and effort in various aspects of our lives, but how much do you invest in rest. Is rest a priority for you, or is it just one more thing standing in the way of you knocking out another task? How high is rest on your priority list?

As an athlete, the load on your life can be heavy, and your time is consumed with training, practice, games, travel and other things. If you’re in college or high school, you also have class, and if you’re a professional athlete, you potentially have a litany of draws for your time.

Now, you may have heard of “LeBron James’s $1.5M yearly spend on recovery, Tom Brady’s recovery pajama line, and Serena Williams’ 7pm bedtime” Well, Tom Brady was right, “You can only work as hard as your ability to recover.” If you want to get stronger, you have to rest and recover. If you want to reach a certain fitness level, you have to rest. If you set fitness goals and intend to stick to it, you have to build rest and recovery into your fitness consistency plan. If you don’t rest, you become susceptible to injury. With rest, you’re able to stay mentally sharp and focused, because without it, you’ll find yourself feeling sluggish and lethargic.
