rest when you're sick
When you’re sick, please rest.
I almost went to a gig today despite having food poisoning.
Bad idea. I’m so glad I didn’t.
Sometimes, it feels like you have to push through. But—trite as it is—your health must take priority.
For a brief moment, I considered the Teddy Roosevelt approach: take a bullet and keep going.
But Teddy's approach isn't for everyone. And probably only for select occasions.
Next time you have the thought to push through, ask yourself: is this worth trading my health?
