can't give up

Some days I'm a superhero who can complete several projects without blunder. Other days I am incapable of completing even one, and I mess up everything I work on. It is definitely ok to have these days, everyone does, but I can't seem to forgive myself for it. When I wake up in the morning and immediately break the french press, I should have some clue that it might be "that" day. But I don't. I continue in denial, fumbling and failing. The more I destroy, the more driven I become. I have to redeem myself. After a couple of hours of wasting materials, and accomplishing nothing but a record high blood pressure, I am really angry. That might be a good time to take a walk, or a break of some sort, but I won't. I am too stubborn. I will keep right on mutilating my supplies until I run out. Sometimes I do this for hours. After a long day of this kind of perpetual failure, I ought to reflect on what I could have done differently. How could I have saved my materials from this assault? I'll tell you how....take a damn break. Take a day off. Re-purpose the day into an inspiration day, and go out into the world to gather ideas and enjoy life for a while.
