I had a cold last
week. It was not nearly as miserable as
it could have been because I chose to fight it aggressively by… doing nothing.
Most of the time, fitness
is about doing something, moving, sweating, working. But resting and other forms of self-care also
fit into our fitness plans. By getting
lots of sleep, taking appropriate cold medicines, hydrating, eating chicken
soup, and otherwise relaxing, I got over my cold much faster than had I decided
to tough it out and continue to try to do All The Things.
Our goal is to put in the
right amount of effort. When we are
feeling fabulous, that can be a lot of strenuous stuff. When we’re not, not so much. The goal is to feel as good as possible as
much as possible.
