For those who exercise regularly, how do you react to missing a workout?

I just missed my first one this year, and kinda having a crisis. Not sure whether to go heavier in the next workout, to add a makeup day, to cut back on the calories, or to just let it go and continue like nothing happened. I'm leaning towards the last one, but I'm curious to see how other people go about it

I travel a lot, so I can’t always make it to the gym. Instead, I stick to certain ground routines while on the move. Depending on my schedule, I shift between morning and evening workouts, and I don’t stress too much if I have to miss a day. The only drawback is getting back to heavy gym sessions after lighter routine days...it can be tricky. But as long as you warm up properly and prepare, you can usually avoid muscle strain.
