Down Days

It seems that my team mates are all talking about their down days, good topic! You know the day we set aside to just rest our mind, body and soul. It has sparked something inside of me and made me realize something about my life. Well I do choose Sunday along with most of my other teammates. But they work a five-day workweek. For me a rest day still seems to be Sunday, which I totally agree with, and I love Sundays, and I do chill on that day, but the problem is I work four days on then four days off, so I get four Sundays off in a row then I don’t. So I tend to not take a down day on those four weeks. I carry on, with the constant on the go stuff, but then I crash, and say enough! Hey that’s not good. Then there is a knee jerk reaction, I just decide to throw in the towel, but when I finally decide to do that it is generally to late, and I need more than just one day of look after me. I tend to push myself a little to far, and when I do I am no good to anybody. So what I’ve got to do is find more balance and I will.
