One of my biggest challenges in recovery was not a rest day in general, but a rest day that I didn’t plan. I would fixate on how guilty I felt all day for not working out. I would make up 8 different scenarios about how I could fit in exercise later in the day, even though I knew I should rest. I would lay on my bed in the morning just going back and forth in my thoughts of if I’m doing what’s right, or just being lazy… Today, I find SO MUCH JOY in my rest days, especially the unplanned ones. But it wasn’t just a switch that flipped… it took practice and time. Doing the uncomfortable rest days over and over until they became less daunting. Learning what it meant to fully surrender my plans and trust God’s guidance. No matter where you are at in your fitness journey, know that you aren’t alone, and I pray that you can find contentment in the discomfort ❤️‍🩹 christian athelete runner running recovery LTKdayinmylife LTKmorningroutine LTKstorytime
