You feel frustrated when things aren't done your way. What helps most in this situation?
Let go of control and refocus on yourself.
Control creates stress; self-focus creates calm. When you try to control how other people act or how situations unfold, your brain stays in a state of tension. You're constantly watching, judging, and worrying about things you can't actually control and that keeps your body and mind stressed! Focusing on yourself shifts your attention back to the one thing you can control: Your words, your body, your choices, and your actions.

What is a sign of poor sportsmanship?

B) Congratulating winners
C) Complaining when losing
C) Complaining when losing
Poor sportsmanship isn't about losing! It's about what someone does with the feeling of losing!

When someone manages emotion well, they might still feel upset inside, but they:
-Stay respectful
-Keep their words neutral
-Accept the outcome
-Move on without dragging others down
