QUESTION
Hi Amanda,
Yesterday, me and my few friends planned an evening of board games. I usually win every game, but this time I didn’t. Everyone’s getting on my nerves. I’m not sure how to deal with it. Could you please help me?
Love,
Josie!
ANSWER
Hi Josie,
Losing a game can be deeply discouraging and can make us feel like we’ve failed or aren’t good enough. But the truth is, the only way to become better at something is to keep trying, even after we’ve lost.
When you lose a game, it’s important to take a few moments to really process what happened. Don’t beat yourself up, but instead focus on what you could have done differently. If you put in your best effort, then you can be proud of yourself for that.
The next step is to look for ways to improve. Maybe you can practice more or ask for help from someone who is better at the game. You could also look into strategies that can help you become better. Even if you don’t become the best at the game, you can still learn valuable lessons that can make you a better player.
It’s also important to recognize that everyone loses sometimes. It’s a part of life and a part of the game. Don’t take it too seriously, and instead focus on the fun of playing. You should also remember that losing a game doesn’t define you. It’s just one moment in time, and you can move on from it.
In the end, it’s important to remember that losing a game doesn’t mean you’re a failure. It’s just a part of the process of getting better. With the right attitude and a little effort, you can learn how to handle losing and come out a winner in the end.
Love,
Amanda!
