I love this approach. The taking corrective action is great way to help reprogram your brain and I feel helps end on a positive note. The only thing I think I would add to this is, having the inner conversation with yourself. I know your first step is don't dwell on it and I agree but having that honest conversation of why I had a bad day or I missed helps identify those excuses for the next time I have one of those days.

Hey everyone — good morning, afternoon, or evening depending on where you are in the world. My name is Jamey Murphy, and I retired last year after 24 years of military service. During that time, I had the opportunity to do a lot of things — including becoming a Master Certified Combatives Trainer, which is actually how Coach Mack and I first met, and continuing my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey. I share that because over the years I’ve learned that no matter what I was going through — personally or professionally — fitness has always been a cornerstone in my life. Now that I’m a little older and have started to slow down, I’m feeling the effects of some old injuries I ignored for years. I also realize I can’t train as hard as I once did — but that doesn’t mean I’m stopping. Far from it. It just means I’m learning to train smarter. I also want to set the example for my two young boys. I want them to understand that with hard work, discipline, and consistency, they can achieve their goals — and some of the best places to learn that are on the mats, in the weight room, or out pounding the pavement. We all have bad days. When I have mine, I plan to come here for that extra push or motivation to keep moving forward — and I hope to do the same for all of you. What have you done today to be better than yesterday? 1% better.

Hey that place looks familiar!
