I’d park the thought and examine it later. Why didn’t I get a good night’s sleep or eat breakfast? What bad choices did I make then? What earlier events did I let get in the way? Is any of that really the reason for my state of mind in the game? Is there something in all this I am doing habitually? How will I prevent that pattern from recurring in the future?
Answering that last question is the purpose of the examination.
