If you need a day off maybe this is the day. Esp since I slept badly and woke up late anyway

I don't always want to be in a state of reaction/recovery. I. Want.to. make a differenceintheworld. Etc. But I can barely tread water!!! 😡

Can I become strong. What's a reasonable amount of rest. I do need rest in order to function. I just wish i didn't need so much, like every week. It seems like i need a day of recovery!/not doing anything. (Alot of it is when i don't sleep well.... why. If i could get 8 hrs sleep I'd be so powerful lol)
