One Day

Once I started working out a lot, I became a bit obsessive about getting to the gym. I didn't want to miss a day, always figuring it would set me back.

Of course an approach like that isn't so good for the rest of your life. I discussed it one day with a trainer I knew who put everything in context, "One day doesn't mean shit."

He's right. You can make up that day easily. One day isn't a setback. One day becomes a setback only if it quickly multiplies. But if it is indeed one day and if you get back to the gym the next day, it doesn't matter at all.

So if something comes up and interrupts your gym schedule, don't sweat it. Just get back in there the next day.
