Today has been one of the latter days.

Here’s what happened and what I’m doing about it.

Today has been frustrating.  Frustrating because I have not accomplished what I intended.  I had expectations when I woke up this morning about what I would get done and today has been just – off.  The previous three days I have felt relaxed and open.  My thoughts flowed easily from brain to the computer.  Today I have just felt mentally constipated.  I have not been able to communicate or articulate my thoughts clearly.  I’ve been more distracted.  I’ve been less than pleasant with my wife.  Just an all-around frustrating day.

So I am giving myself permission to not “crush it” today.

I acknowledging that I have accomplished some tasks today.  I am further along today than I was yesterday.

I acknowledge that success does not miraculously happen overnight and that there will be days where I will be frustrated with my progress, or lack thereof.

I am going to give myself permission to transition to a task that is easy and enjoyable for me – to research and study.  I am going to get through a few more chapters of Robert Cialdini’s book “Pre-Suasion” and take some solid notes on things that will be useful to me later on.

Then I’m going to break my 10-day keto diet with a delicious pizza and a beer and hang out with my wife and kids.

Then I’m going to get up tomorrow and start fresh.
