How to Fight Stress from the Lottery?
Playing the lottery as any other activity if ends up with failure, or better said without winning can become rather stressful. Dealing with this stress can be crucial for your future success. Remember when you were stressed about that thing at your job. How did you manage to cope with the stress? Well, it’s fairly similar, but with a different icing on top. Even I had major issues. Eventually I had to find a way to cope with the stress caused by lottery. The most important thing is that you must have fun during this stress relief.
There’s no point if it’s a struggle to relieve from this not so pleasant sensation.
Meditation – Probably the Most Efficient Way of Getting Rid of Stress
Meditate! Meditation helped me get rid of stress, not just stress caused by lottery, but other stuff as well. I found out about meditation few years back when I had a knee injury. My physician recommended yoga. At first I was like “How can simple slow movements and some ohms help me out?” So I gave it a try. Boy was I surprised. I recovered from my injury and I felt younger. It turns out it was all due to stress. Imagine what these ohms can do for you in regards to lottery stress. We all get stressed about it. Playing the lottery can be a roller coaster of emotions.
Note, yoga and meditation will help you stay focused and in the moment. It’s one of the best things that have happened to me. Of course, the lottery is the best!
Long Walks – When’s the Last Time You Visited the Local Park
It’s as simple as that. There’s nothing like a gentle stroll surrounded by trees, freshly cut grass and spending some quality time with some of your friends. You can take a walk all by yourself if you prefer. Leave all the garbage behind and clear your mind. The lottery will wait for you. It won’t go anywhere. Once you’re relaxed and back in your comfort zone you can think of new ways to win the lottery. Your health is the most important thing you should not worry about. Even if you win the lottery, what are you going to do with all that cash in your bank account if you’re ill? I learnt this the hard way. I used to be a workaholic. Yes, I worked hard and I made a small fortune. I felt bad, I didn’t have the energy to enjoy the money I earned. It’s pretty much the same if you win the lottery. All those millions and you can’t enjoy in them.
If you don’t want to make my mistake go out, walk, relax and once you’re back in your zone treat yourself with few extra lottery tickets. It just might be the thing that was missing.
Set Realistic Expectations – Don’t Be too Hard On Yourself
This is the root of stress caused by lottery. It all starts with setting too high expectations. You can’t win all the time. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you’ll get rid of stress. No expectations, no disappointments, no stress. Overachievers usually don’t end well. In fact, they end too soon. And we all know that the lottery is a marathon, not a sprint. Learn to forgive yourself. Let go of the bad thoughts and how you failed. Instead, focus on the pleasant memories, how you won that mouthwatering prize. There, you probably already feel a lot better. They say, you choose if you’re happy or not. You’re in control. If you don’t like something change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Maybe this losing spree of yours is just a hint, a red flag. This distress signal may just be pointing to the right direction. Think about it this way, you haven’t won the lottery this way, change the way you play it, stress free!
Take a Short Break from Playing the Lottery – Cool Your Head
Everybody needs a break once in a while. By taking a break you’ll get to see the big picture. All those little flaws of your strategy will suddenly come to light. And you thought everything was perfect? It’s not too late. On top of this the stress will vanish, it’ll disappear.
Get a day off of the lottery. Take a walk, meditate or go out for a drink or two. Do whatever makes you feel good. The most important thing is to relax and forget about the lottery. I’ve mentioned earlier how it’s crucial to play the lottery with a cool head. If you’re not in your zone you can’t think clearly. Believe me, stress affects your style play. You will spot the effect once you cool down. Recharge your batteries! Even the biggest heroes in history had to take a break once in a while from all that fighting and conquering. You want to win the lottery? How about you first take a good night’s sleep, go out for a walk, clear your mind and then get back to the lottery. It will be there, waiting for you. Even if you miss a lottery, there will be another one the next week.
