Try your hardest, do your best, and then relax.
Have confidence in the knowledge that you have tried your best, and then don’t spend your time worrying and becoming anxious about things over which you have no control.
By resting, you will then have the renewed energies and resources to follow up, if needed, on your previous efforts and on what possibly still needs to be done. And, importantly, you will have the opportunity of enjoying your moments of relaxation.
Knowing how to relax is one of the keystones of achieving well-being while at the same time pursuing success in you endeavors..
We will be more successful in all our endeavors if we can let go of the habit of running all the time, and take little pauses to relax and re-center ourselves. And we’ll also have a lot more joy in living. (Thich Nhat Hanh)
“Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.” (Ovid)
“Sometimes the best solution is to rest, relax and recharge. It’s hard to be your best on empty.” (Sam Glenn)
