Read about Townsend's 3mill downswing, and laugh at your own.

I actually did this. Something about somebody else losing a couple of Ferrari's worth of money just makes yours feel so much more insignificant.

This is the first thing I ever learned on this site. It's probably been the best advice I ever got pokerwise. If you are playing online, play fake $$$ tourniments and keep going all in on the first hand until you win. Then play the tourniment like you normally would. You will be surprised at how much joy you get when your 2-9o beats 4 hands.

If you are playing live, get up and walk to the slot machines that are 5 cents. Put a $10 or $20 in, and just play until the money runs out or you win a lot.

Best advice I ever got here, by FAR.

Exercise. Take a brisk walk, lift some weights, hit a heavy bag, ride a bike, etc. It doesn't have to be anything major. Getting in a quick 20-30 minute workout will help release a lot of negative energy and clear your mind quickly.

It all works together, man.
