This week I’m going to take it easy on you. Easy, well not really easy. It’s just not adding that extra layer of difficulty you’ve been building. This will be a normal workout week that will allow you time to recover your body. It’s been beat up pretty badly to the point where you haven’t felt like you’ve been at 100% in months now. It’s not a feeling I wish to keep for a long period of time. I understand that there are moments where that feeling is necessary to achieve but this week is enough. You’ve been in that strain mode for a while now you don’t need to prove it to me anymore. Just get done what is required for the day and move on with it. Get rest and recover. There’s no rush.
You’ve proven what needed proving. The strain, the fatigue, the endless days of pushing past 100%—they served their purpose. But now it’s time to shift. Not backwards, not into laziness, but into balance. This week, you don’t need to break yourself to feel like you’re making progress. You’ve earned the right to slow the tempo without losing the rhythm. That’s not weakness—it’s wisdom. You’re still training, just not in war mode.
The goal isn’t to stop. The goal is to recover while continuing. There’s a skill in that too—knowing how to preserve momentum without adding pressure. This is your chance to feel your body again, instead of constantly fighting it. To listen rather than dominate. To heal without halting. You’ve shown what kind of fire you can bring when needed. This week, bring something different: presence, control, and clarity.
So take what’s required and move on. Don’t overthink it. Don’t chase pain for the sake of proving you’re tough. You already are. Let that be enough for now. There’s no rush to bleed more effort than necessary. Use this space to recharge and regroup. The storms will return—but when they do, you’ll be stronger because you allowed yourself to breathe.
