How poker makes your life better

Translated with the help of AI. We apologize for any errors and would appreciate your help in correcting them.

Hello everyone, today I wanted to write an interesting article for you about what advantages poker brings to the life of the player? In this article, I described the benefits of poker for the human brain, but today I would like to highlight other areas of our lives. Many ordinary people, when talking about poker, usually see not positive pictures at all, such as ludomania, constant lack of sleep, emotional instability. Or they idealize the picture too much and see only money, money and money again, completely forgetting about other areas in life. But what about reality?

The right poker is always a development!

That is, poker gives you the following for life:

  1. Developed analytical and critical thinking, 
    who knows how to bypass obstacles, who knows how to build logical chains that lead to results. The mindset of a poker player is different from the mindset of an ordinary person; every consultation I have with a poker player or a person who does not play poker has already confirmed this 100%. The brain of a poker player is different! Usually they have a more mobile mind, connections between neurons are built differently, a high level of resistance to any life adversity.
  2. Higher level of discipline. 
    Do you remember how as a child we were taught something new and trained in patience if it did not work out? So, poker is the teacher who constantly tests you for strength and makes you grow. As you know, many outstanding people have developed discipline and self-discipline, the main thing is to be able to properly include these processes.
  3. Developed communication with other people. 
    The ability to find useful connections, communication in the poker community is highly valued, and usually this communication is built with people who are interesting to you, have common views, give some advantages for your growth, and not just because of habit. This is how you learn to find and identify the most useful connections for yourself.
  4. A more valuable and correct attitude towards money. 
    This point can be perceived ambiguously, but the reality is this: if a person plays poker correctly, and not just comes there for freebies, poker actually gives a good basis for the attitude to money. Understanding that money is energy, it can come, or it can go, and you seem to have no control over this process. You can read more about the attitude to money in my article about financial blocks.
  5. It helps to form emotional stability, develops your emotional intelligence. 
    Emotions and poker are closely intertwined, and of course poker eventually gives you fruits in the emotional sphere. The main thing is that poker gives you all these advantages when you are involved in this process. That is, it is necessary to clearly understand that just playing without doing anything at the same time will not work. And if you approach the process more consciously, all these benefits will become available to you! 

And of course I want to add a quote in the key of this article:

“Life is not always about having good cards on hand, sometimes it is a good game with bad cards.” - Jack London

And if you want to learn how to harmoniously build your life even with "bad cards",  then  I am waiting for you at my consultation!
