Frustration

Some days nothing is clicking. Occasionally, there is a run of days where everything feels off. Efforts seem futile, doubts grow, “why do I bother” seems like an obvious question. Probably at least a half-dozen legitimate reasons could be found for sub-par performance, but really none matter. All that matters is sticking to it. Just putting in the best effort possible at the moment. Learning to swallow disappointment in a given day’s results, and then plough ahead. Lean on platitudes and clichés, whatever gets you through. But ultimately rest on the knowledge that this is just part of what you signed up for. If it was easy, it would not be worth doing; if you did not care, there would be no frustration.
