Train for moments you hope arrive easier than expected.
RESILIENCE
RESILIENCE
You prepare for the difficult version of a moment while hoping it turns out to be easy. Most of the time it is easier than the version you trained for, and the preparation then feels wasted, which is exactly the wrong conclusion. The preparation is what made the ease possible, or at least what made it survivable if it had not been.
Do not let the easy outcomes talk you out of preparing next time. The training that goes unused was still the right decision, judged from before you knew how it would go.
