If I start to get nervous and get stressed from the game, I take a passive activity waiting for a strong hand, if I have already lost completely, then I stop playing for a while to save my bankroll.

Remember why you play poker. In the beginning its for love and fun. Playing to make a living is going to bring up those other stresses, but, the core reason is still there.

Normally I would say rest.

But in my case, I relax by playing Freerolls, as I am a Cash Games player.
