27 Rest Quotes to give you more energy.


Exhaustion may be draining you.


Burnout too?


In the short term and the long run, the best way to get your energy back is with the right amount of rest. 



Rest , however, is not an excuse to be lazy. 


That day of rest God created is earned with 6 days of action.


That day of rest is essential!


Also the right amount of sleep is absolutely a necessity – that's non-negotiable if you want to be your best.


At the end of the day, we believe in taking massive action in business, life, health, relationships etc…then take that earned day off once a week…and reward yourself with at least one very much earned vacation a year to recharge your batteries. 


Make rest a priority to…

…make it a great day!
