Resting after a hard week is how you say thanks to a body that showed up every day.

Rest is not a break from the work. It is the part where the work turns into something, and a body that carried you through a hard week is not asking for more effort, it is asking for the conditions under which it recovers. Treating rest as a reward you have to earn has it backward, since the recovery is not optional for anything you are trying to build.

Put one real rest into this week and hold it. A full night, a day with nothing scheduled, an afternoon horizontal. Do not make up for it afterward with anything extra.
