Why I Love My Bad Days | Alexi Pappas | TED
In this insightful TED Talk, Olympic runner Alexi Pappas introduces her transformative 'rule of thirds,' a powerful mindset for anyone chasing a dream or undertaking a difficult task. She explains that success isn't about feeling good all the time; instead, one should expect to feel good, okay, and 'crappy' roughly a third of the time each. This perspective, first shared by her coach, helped her overcome self-doubt, break a national record, and complete a grueling ultramarathon. Pappas emphasizes that bad days are not detours but rather integral parts of the journey towards achieving significant goals, teaching resilience and self-coaching.
