Health & Fitness - Rest and Recovery

Everyone needs some time to rest and recover from the treacherous choices that life has to offer each and everyone of us. We are faced with so many decisions a day that we will often forget to take some time to stop, take a deep breath, look around at our lives, and take a break. We all need to take a break!

Have you every heard of the 4 day work week? With all the craziness that this economy has brought upon us, our local county is in talks to have our county workers start a 4 day work week. If you haven't heard of the 4 day work week, it's pretty simple: Work for 4 days for 10 hours each day. Simple huh? Well, in theory, the 4 day work week should cut a lot of costs overall. I can't seem to come up with all of the cost cutting a 4 day work week would provide, but as an employee, I would definately be up for a 4 day work week. That would mean more quality time with my family instead of the always too short 2 day weekend. For some reason, 3 days off always seems just enough.

Well, that my thoughts on rest and recovery. I hope you are enjoying your 2 day weekend. Think of what you could do with a 3 day weekend every week!
