#136: How to Recover from a Bad Training Session

In this episode, we discuss bad training sessions can happen for
a lot of reasons, be kind to yourself (beating yourself up won't
help you do better training in the future), fault is the wrong
thing to focus on (you are responsible for the training session,
yes, but there is a difference between fault and responsibility),
do you know what went wrong?, focus on principles and ABCs to
avoid getting trapped in stories or labels, don't repeat the same
session; change something!, phone a friend and get an objective
perspective, stop digging, essentialize - what are you really
focusing on in this session?, start small - you may not need to
totally ditch your whole training strategy, get a new starting
point that guarantees success, look at reinforcement strategy
first; did it work?, rehearse the reinforcement strategy first
without ANY behavior, it is always better to start with low
criteria and be in a position to raise them quickly, rather than
start with a failure and be forced to lower criteria, my rule of
thumb is to restart at half of whatever I *think* I can
definitely get, and quit (or take a break) at half the time you
think you could do.
