Okay, so we are all busy little beavers in a very hectic world. No matter what you do for a living there is stress. Some jobs more stress than others. When you are not stressing about your job, or your family or the world or whatever else causes you grief you stress out trying to find ways to relieve that stress. Vicious circle.
I like to kick back and watch poker on television. Not only because I wish to improve my own poker abilities but because I like the thought that these folks are winning so much money. It's like imagining that you've just won the lottery. Imagine being at the final table and winning, solely by ability, a million dollars or more. Now, imagine the stress the losing hand holder must feel. And, you think you have stress!
Someone Tweeted this link yesterday so I took a gander at it. I am amazed at the end result of the video. Not only is one player holding a poker hand to die for the other player is handling his loss with extreme calmness. He has lost over $300,000 in cold, hard cash and yet he is not screaming and yelling or throwing any sort of a temper tantrum. He is very calmly analyzing what has just happened, how it happened and, hopefully, how not to make the same mistake in the future.
Give this video a look. See if you can learn from these two players how better to handle an enormous amount of stress. Here is the link:
