Bad days…
It is so true that bodybuilding is more mental than anything else. When you are having a bad day, that is when you really need to work on yourself: feelings/emotions, etc. One, to have a good day, but also to have a good workout. Today (no need to tell) I was in a very bad mood, I felt like trowing things, but instead, I went to the gym and workout, in the middle of the workout, I felt like stopping (had negative thoughts), to piss off, but I kicked myself in the butt and finish everything. Basically, we have the choice to let things affect us or not. Working out is a big part of my life, I feel great when I do it, and I am noticing that (been training for 11 years) by doing it, I grow and become more conscious of things about myself everyday. What a great sport 
Have good one peeps

You are right on there! When I’m having a bad day I take it out on the weights. If I start to think about quitting I just load up some more weight and "punish’ the bad thoughts away. Lifting is my Zen moment in life and it’s where I can let my day go and just be, focusing on muscle contractions and form. Without it I’d be depressed and lost.
