Olympic runner Alexi Pappas says that when trying to do something hard, you should expect βcrappyβ days.
βMy Olympic coach told me after a particularly challenging workoutβ¦ βthatβs okay, itβs the rule of thirds,ββ Pappas recalled.
When she asked her coach to explain what he meant, he said, βWhen youβre chasing a dream or doing anything hard, youβre meant to feel good a third of the time, okay a third of the time, and crappy a third of the time. If the ratio is roughly in that range, then youβre doing fine.β
Pappas says to pay attention to the balance. βIf you feel too good all the time… then you gotta look at if youβre not trying hard enough or pushing yourself.β
She says you still show up on the crappy days. You donβt shut down. The crappy days are part of the process. You encounter a challenge. You miss the marks. Your aim is off. Thatβs when learning sets in. Itβs when your attention gets focused.
In this world, we will have troubles. Donβt dodge them. Face them. Learn from them.
Look forward to tomorrow when things will improve.
