The NBA Finals are going on right now. One team, the Denver Nuggets got their berth into the championship series by beating the Lakers in a clean, four-game sweep. The Miami Heat on the other hand took a much more interesting path, winning their first three games against the Celtics, losing the next three, and finally closing out the series in the deciding seventh game. Basketball analysts like to compare teams about to square off using several factors and one of them is comparing whether the team who’s played competitive basketball more recently will benefit due to more rest time or suffer from the rust of not playing real basketball for a while.
I have been thinking about that phrasing a lot lately. I can’t shake the idea of that concept hovering over my days off. Which do I need more, relaxation or getting caught up on weekly chores and commitments? I end up not finding a good option either way. I feel guilty when I spend too much time relaxing. Like I’ve just wasted my most important resource. When I focus on getting things done, I can’t help but feel burnt out and emotionally out of breath. I think I need a way to recharge at the core of me. Shake some of the rust off and get a little rest.
