However, ever since I noticed that gambling is not a do-or-die affair that you must win before quitting, my life has been quite simple in gambling, and I don't stress myself out about winning before quitting my day gambling for the day.

That is right.
Gambling doesn't have to be putting yourself into that hard part of thinking that it's a do or die strategy because it's not.
All you have to do is to make sure that you enjoy every bit of your money as you gamble.
Do what makes you happy as you gamble and never put yourself into too much pressure.

When you are doing gambling and you've been that trying out to make a certain strategy to work and you do end up on having that pile of loses then this is where disappointment and stress that would be able to feel out on which is why it will be that very common thing for most gamblers. On this kind of emotion then this is where that chasing up loses will be your main priority and keeps on adding up on deposits just because you do want to make it happen on whats inside of your mind. How to avoid stress? You shouldnt be forcing yourself as a winner because if you do have that kind of mentality then high chances that you will be ending up on making gambling as a stressful activity rather than on making it as a fun thing. You would definitely be sooner or later having that very huge problem when it comes to financial at the moment that you've been having that kind of treatment. Therefore, you should be that acting on the different way instead.

We start a story in our heads (I’ll win it back,” “I’ll prove I can do it,” “Just one more shot”) and we can’t let it go. It moves more towards identity preservation than it does towards money. The losses hurt so much for this reason.

Gambling doesn’t need to be war. You don’t have to come in trying to solve your emotional architecture through a roulette wheel. The moment you demand that gambling validate your internal storyline (“I need this win to feel in control again”), you’ve given up your power. Not to the casino but to the fragile desperation of your ego.
