The guy at my gym said he tracks his bad days on a calendar and I thought it was dumb until I saw his streak
I was stretching next to this older dude at a gym in Boise about 2 weeks ago and he mentioned he marks every rough day with a red X on a wall calendar at home. I laughed at first, honestly, but then he said he had 41 red X's in 2022 and only 12 so far this year, and he pulls it out whenever he feels like everything is falling apart. I started doing the same thing with a $3 calendar from the dollar store and it weirdly helps to see the bad days are just dots on a page, not my whole life. Your mileage may vary on this one but has anyone else found dumb little tricks that actually work when you feel like garbage?
