hay guys. do any of you guys get those bad days or half days when you just aint playing very well for some reason but do get those realy good days? what do you do when this happens. do you keep playing or do you just put it down and come back to it later. or just leave it alone for that day? ---

for me its usually one of two things. mental distraction (im worried about some problem, thinking about the camera thats filming me, worried about making noise cause spouse is sleeping), or low blood sugar. Either way I usually stop, eat a bite of something, and come back in an hour or so. After my head and body is fed, im usually good to go. ---

> [@truplayerzz](#): > > sometimes I play bad when I watch a vid of a player that’s realy good andi probabley try to hard I think tha can mess me up sometimes. very much this. Ive been a juggler and object manipulator for half of my life (15+ years now) and thats the case almost every time. The simple act of “Trying” is the cause of so much failure! haha just part of the process. the less you think about it, the better you will be at it. ---

I usually blame lag. But, maybe that is just a hold over from my COD days. Most of the time, a minute to relax and think happy thoughts helps. ---

Yup I’ve had those days, right down to taking several knuckle busters. Often happens when I’m not relaxed (could be when I’m stressed at work or trying to film something. Update: Looks like this thread is a jinx… [https://instagram.com/p/-PjFXnkBko/](https://instagram.com/p/-PjFXnkBko/) Yea this is my last post on this thread. ---

I’ve actually never had one of these days. I’m sure I would if I were to be put in front of the WYYC stage or something, but yeah. ---

yes. I usually just throw my yoyo at the wall and walk away, then proceed to try again later.
