You walk and walk and walk. But you have lost your enthusiasm. You feel tired, irritable. You always have aches and pains. You may be overdoing it.

The cure: Even the Creator rested on the seventh day.

Take a day off now and then to let your body repair, build up muscle, and store up some energy to get you back on the road again.
