Hi Laura.
There is always going to be opportunities, the barriers help but they aren’t foolproof, what’s important is having the strength to realise that wobbles are going to creep into our thoughts but we have the power to walk away knowing that that one bet will make us feel so crap about ourselves that we will just throw everything away, it’s a bit like being on a diet, you do really well, think about something unhealthy, eat it and then think “oh i have blown it, i may as well stuff my face all day”.
I’m not saying i am always going to have the strength to recognise and walk away but it’s helpful that my mindset is saying that one bet could destroy me, before, i used to say that one bet could win me enough for whatever i was wanting money for.
we are all in this together 🙂
well done on yesterday, feel great about yourself…you deserve it
