Keep Your Head Up

Sometimes, you just don't have it in you. There is no shame in that. If you are a hard charging person, giving your all day after day, it should not come as any surprise to you that you need a break every now and then. That may be in the form of a day of light effort or perhaps no effort at all. This goes for both your work life and exercise.

You can overtrain in both areas. Remember how we talked about momentum before? That same momentum can also push you right into injury in the gym. It could also take you on some wild tangent in business development, which you don't notice until you have wasted quite a bit of effort.

Putting your head down and working your butt off is admirable. But, hey, oxen can do that. Be smart about it. You have to occasionally, stop, look around, readjust, regroup and then reapply your efforts.
