We all know how it feels to lose money in gambling. It is one of the worst feelings we encounter, which makes us stressed and can lead to feelings of self-guilt. But sometimes we overstretch ourselves and gamble beyond our means. I have seen people even take loans to gamble and get sucked into an endless loop of stress, anxiety, and isolation.
If you have just encountered a big loss which is making you sick to the stomach, do not worry. Here are five things you can do to find peace and divert your energy to some inspiring things:
1. Accept the loss:
I have noticed that to recover myself from the huge loss I need more time when compering it with the small failure, and, on top of everything, this time is growing with the size of loss. Let's say if my loss equals to L and corresponding recovery time R then at the loss of 2L the recovery time would 4R, at 4L it would be 8R and so on. My biggest loss is round $ 15 K , probably not so huge but it took a few month for me to accept it.
