Quotes to ponder:

"There are more ways to rest than sleep alone, but our chronically 'on' and high-achieving lifestyle would have us believe otherwise."

"We are only as old as our muscles are inactive. Doing nothing seems harmless, but we have to remind ourselves that the body was made to move."

"An emotionally rested person can answer the question 'How are you today?' with a truthful 'I’m not okay.'"
