How to handle a few weeks of "bad" workouts?

4 Upvotes

I feel like the last few weeks, despite my best efforts, I have been unfocused, easily tired, and not performing at my best at all. In fact, the opposite. I track nutrition/recovery and do deload weeks so this doesn't have to do with recovery, I think it might be mental.

Today I want to train hard, but I've been struggling with some mental health and feel like I am moving through molasses. I find myself giving up before I even started.

I wasn't into sports/athletics in college, so I guess I just need some reassurance that it's normal for a few weeks to dip. Perhaps its a plateau? Thank you!
