About this episode
We all have bad days, when we can't get motivated, perform in the way we were hoping to, or adhere to the schedule we had planned. Contrary to popular belief, these are not roadblocks on the path to excellence. In fact, figuring out how to show up on days when you don't feel your best — and not allowing a bad day to spiral and become a bad week — is one of the keys to being a true pro. Today, we talk through physiological and psychological strategies for doing just that.
