I think my younger self would have appreciated these words so hopefully it does something for you too.

Rest is not a luxury it is a necessity.
Rest is not a should it is a must.
Rest is essential for productivity and foundational for success.

These are not controversial statements and yet the vast majority of people disagree with this sentiment through their actions and the way they choose to live their lives.

I don't understand where the idea of rest = lazy came from. Or that rest means slowing down and doing nothing. This could not be further from the truth.

People at the top of their game such as athletes, philosophers, business leaders and teachers all understand that rest is a non negotiable. It is a must. In this video I detail 7 reasons why you should be taking regular breaks.
