I was performing touch and goes at the local airport ZZZ; I was in the landing phase of flight and flaring. A gust of wind came up as my left main hit the runway and bounced. This made the aircraft swerve right and into the grass. The aircraft was not in control when it suddenly turned right. I applied brakes and the aircraft came to a stop and then I turned left back onto the runway. I made my way to the hanger area and inspected the aircraft from front to back and top to bottom. No damage just some grass blades. Prop was not struck and was clean and free of any indication of prop strike.Looking back after a couple of days leads me to believe that I became too slow at touch down which caused the bounce and temporary loss of control. My perception of my speed was incorrect; it was too slow. My personal minimums were considered prior to flight as I always do; and they were in check and I was mentally and physically ready to fly.I am currently scheduled for some recurrent cross wind training with an instructor as of date.
C172 pilot reported cross winds on landing and failed to take proper action; resulting in a runway excursion.
