A Week At A Time<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_175122\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-175122\" data-attachment-id=\"175122\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/4-ways-to-get-through-the-january-grind\/calendar\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/calendar.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"calendar\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;calendar&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Pixabay&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/calendar-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/calendar.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-175122\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/calendar-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"calendar\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-175122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Don\u2019t look at your meet and practice schedule all at once. Always thinking about the fact that you have a swim meet every weekend for five weeks in a row, is not going to help you get through practice that day.<\/p>\n<p>Just focus on the practices you have that day and the perspective dual meet on Saturday. Two things can\u2019t occupy the same space at the same time. Only looking at the big picture will cause you to miss some of the details that will pay off at the end of your season.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

Our bodies can handle the amount of swimming and training we put onto it, they have been accustomed over the years. However, your mind does affect how you swim. So stay positive and make sure to focus on the little things. Not every practice and meet during January are going to be perfect, but make sure to leave in in the water and start every practice with a fresh and focused mindset.<\/p>\n<h2>3.
