I'm under a shitload of stress right now. A new job was supposed to start last month but got pushed till just after the first of the year. No biggie but now I'm stuck here for the holidays. I've spent my alloted amount on travel, and reading this forum just makes it worse. This and family pawing me for money is driving me up the fucking wall. Anyway, this is having a serious effect on my game. This area is shit for quality girls but one was walking in a store as I was exiting. She was a 7 which is rare for here. I totally froze and didn't approach. In the past I've persevered and got a girl in bed under these circumstances. The problem was I couldn't perform due to the shit going through the back of my head. Nothing's better for self-esteem than promising a girl the ride of her life and failing to follow through. Fuck. Please note that I work very hard to eliminate stress, ie., no ex-wives, kids, needy friends, jealous husbands. ect. This isn't and ongoing theme in my life but I guess sometimes it's unavoidable. Any suggestions on how to push through this mindset and still game?
Stress and Game
Compartmentalize it like Ted Bundy and punch on.
Ha. Ted Bundy apparently had a lot of stress.
Sometimes the only thing that will heal stress is time. If it affects your game, then it affects it. Get into Zen. One of its principles is that there is no good or bad, and that nothing really matters insofar as good and bad go. Therefore, your stressful situation is just a part of the balance. Don't assign too much value to it, no matter what it is. Repeat "And this too shall pass".

When Im stressed its the same way for me. I try to take the energy that I would use towards getting girls and working out and direct it to taking care of the problem areas causing the stress thus restoring balance back to my life then its on to the next one.
When your mind is polluted with a problem its very hard to excel in other areas of your life.
