You know, everyone has 'those days' now and then. It could be caused by a variety of things...nutrition, lack of sleep, stress, illness...there are any number of reasons that you might have a less than stellar workout. Sometimes, you find yourself hanging your head after training, thinking that you should have done better, it should have been easier, and certainly you shouldn't be this DEAD after that little workout.
Whatever the reason for a lackluster day, the most important thing to do is remind yourself of something my son said when he was only 4. I don't remember exactly what occurred, but it was something we thought would be hugely disappointing for him. We were trying to let him down easy, but he really didn't need that...instead, he shrugged his little shoulders and simply said, "Sometimes...that happens." And he was right. No need to dwell overlong on a rough day or a bad performance. Take a note if you can on what might have caused it and start looking to the next day, the next challenge...and meet it head on.
So the next time you have a day when you get knocked down by your workout, your work, or anything at all for that matter, then just look that day over and then remember the simple wisdom of a little kid. Say to yourself, "Sometimes...that happens."
