omg, why am I so lazy ? I'm too lazy to play poker, I'm too lazy to write a new entry here, etc. GOD I must play more poker finally ! I was going to play at least 1k hands/day this month but after my ps3 arrived I haven't played at all (nah, maybe like 500 hands but that's like nothing). I have to find a way to motivate myself to play more, and to stop being THAT lazy ! Any suggestions ?
So I promised I would post details from my conversation with psychologist. I'm bored right now so I decided to write something here.
So basically during this conversation I managed to tell him 3 reasons of me being pissed/upset/screaming/swearing. Here they are:
Being in arrears (dunno if it's right sentence) -> self irritation (here too, I dunno if I wrote it correctly) + pretext = explosion (anger "discharge" )
Dissagreement with defeat -> profit avidity + risk of losing my winnings = agression
Other people's stupid mistakes -> high adrenaline level + disappointment = frustration = anger
So I asked him what should I do to "discharge" my anger. Should I buy myself some training sack to beat its ass (lol)? He told me that if I bought something like this, only to discharge my anger after losing at poker, I wouldn't learn not to get angry and I still couldn't control my emotions. He also told me that the age of 16 - 18 is the time of learning to control my emotions and time of 'improving' my brain.
Basically I'm an addict (it's a 3rd of 4 addiction steps, lol) and there are 2 options - I stop playing poker (he told me he knew I wouldn't choose this one ) OR I control the time I spend playing (i.e. 2 hours of poker 4 times per week MAX. - it could be less, but NEVER more) + he suggested me to start reading more books/focusing more at school on every lesson just to build up my brain (more neural connections), what is going to help me to learn how to control my emotions and be mentally strong.
He told me to read some book for teenagers. I fell asleep while reading it for the first time lol and haven't read more since then but I think it's quite interesting and I will read it for sure (it's Sean Covey's book, called "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" )
I still don't focus at school on every lesson but I'm testing a new option - I'm trying to stop thinking about money as money but as just BBs or 'points', which I play poker with.
I don't have anything interesting to write about how am I doing at poker this month and how I did last one, except that my cousin won a seat in EPT Prague I'd love to go there with him but they wouldn't let me in the casino lol.
Ok, so that's all today. I gotta start fighting with my laziness 
good luck to everyone

I'm betting it's a lot. Shrinks can charge some major bank/lesson. |
