Handling Losing
I , and another member have confessed that they are not travelling too well at the minute.
The other member seems somewhat frustrated as to why this is happening.
And some angst about what should be an enjoyable activity appears to be occurring.
I figure this thread could be used for some pointers for members to guide other members.
The best thing I ever read was , "If it's no longer fun - WALK AWAY"
For me , being a Gamblerholic , this is not an option.
But what sometimes works for me , is to try to understand what it is that is actually causing the pain.
And in my case whenever it is caused by the size of my Losses , then it is usually caused by betting excessively high.Out of my Comfort Factor.
But usually my pain is when i do a heap of hard work and study , and the animals fail continually.
Being shown that I am wrong messes with my Pride.
I feel I am a failure.
Going over my methods often reveals that I have done everything correctly , and it is frustrating not knowing what is wrong.
Losing Runs happen , and we all must be able to cope with them.
But if the Losing Run is because there is a basic flaw in our procedures , then no amount of walking away will get rid of the problem when we finally decide to return.
Chin up Star.
