You have weather inside you too. You don’t have to cancel the day because it’s cloudy up there.

Moods feel like a verdict while they are happening and like weather once they have passed. A grey morning is not a report on your life, and it often has no cause you can point to. The mistake is renegotiating everything from inside one, since decisions made under heavy cloud tend to look strange later.

On a flat day, lower the target instead of scrapping it: the short version of the workout, the two easiest tasks, one conversation rather than five. Let the day be small and still count. If the weather stays heavy for weeks rather than days, that is worth telling someone about.
