How do you avoid carrying game frustration into real life?

[Alisa]

A rough gaming session can sometimes affect the rest of your evening. Do you have a routine that helps you leave the frustration behind, or does it usually fade on its own?

When I cannot progress, it is frustrating, when I lose I also get angry. However, these emotions are temporary, they never carry over into my real life.

I take a walk or get a drink of water or something, I never get mad in real life from playing a game.

I usually step away as soon as I notice I'm getting frustrated instead of trying to force one more win. Taking a short break, stretching, or doing something completely different helps me reset.

I usually need a little time away from the game before the frustration fades. Taking a walk, listening to music, or doing something completely different helps reset my mood. I try not to carry that frustration into other parts of my evening.
