When Resting Feels Like Failure

It’s hard to catch your breath when everyone else is sprinting towards their goals. “Everyone else is getting ahead, yet I’m slowing down.” (ᴗ_ ᴗ。)
Even a break doesn’t feel like proper rest when you’re too hard on yourself.

But can I tell you something? .✦ ݁˖

Moving forward while you’re exhausted
is like driving on an almost empty tank.
You might still move for a bit, but you’re not getting very far.
Eventually, you’ll stop anyway. And you’ll take longer to fill your tank up compared to taking regular breaks.

Resting isn’t what’s holding you back.
It makes sure you can actually keep going.

So don’t hate yourself for it, okay?
