So looked through a boywonder thread. Here's some words of wisdom.
I have been recieving a few PMs from people who are in fact winning players, but have trouble logging hands. Often, I believe, the big issue is a fear of loss more than anything. I mean, if our hourly was given to us variance free at the end of each day, I am sure most of us would be in front of our computers sunrise to dawn every day up until early retirement. Thankfully, poker does not work like this.
I believe that the fear of the (future) loss, is often much more daunting than the actual loss itself. I think that feeling a certain amount of anxiety about losing can have a greater effect on you than the actual loss. Humans have a much bigger fear of fear, or fear of the future, than they have anxieties over the present moment.
Once you have lost and you are done, you should become fully conscious of your emotions and surroundings, and realize that if you are in a position to be reading this thread, you are still better off than 95 % of this planets population. Next time, when your dysfunctional and negative thought patterns eventually emerge (like they always do), remember that moment of clarity when you did indeed lose, and it wasn´t the end of the world.
