Play the hand we’re dealt, sage advice. Sometimes we can stumble upon a random break leading to a discovery, a breakthrough, or simply an overdue reminder.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if the next time a friend asked, “Did you run this morning?”

We answer, “No, today is an active rest day.”

Active rest is intentionally skipping exercising.

It lends itself to something amazing.

It also comes with disrupted surroundings, long days, distractions, stress, pressure, comfort foods, difficulty sleeping, excuses for not exercising, etc.

If you’re goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough. Sounds intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. And still, there are times when it must absolutely be.
