Dealing with a downswing...

I really like the no complaining goal. I've tried to have this in poker and life lately. The idea being that sometimes i can't control the path or situation i'm in all i can do is to try and make the best of that situation.

That could mean i've got a huge hand in a likely bad situation after running bad or something serious has just gone wrong in life. So rather than making a bad play to prove to myself the situation sucked or to just sit and be bitter about the life situation now i don't let myself complain about the situation and just think and do what i can to make the outcome as best i can.

Another attitude goal that i've taken that has helped me is to always do what is best for yourself in the long term regardless of current mood. This one was adopted from poker to put into day to day life situation. Simple examples would being to lazy to go the gym or being to afraid to do something.
