like anything else, practice, practice, practice... Getting used to pressure reduces the pressure you feel.

Come out from the table, take a break, Go out into the fresh air, take a walk, Chat with your friends, See a good movie, when the nervous system, returns to normal state, Only then return in Game and continue the game!)

should be replaced by a more emotional

When talking about online pokering:

I learned to count to ten if it's a hard decision. You will think of the consequenses and even if you made a mistake, you have thought about it.

In real life:
*Acting*

Decide. Once I know I am folding, I'm calm.

They should see something that happens very often when you play that pressure.
comensamos to play when we think that having my oponete DEBRIA hand, before acting without thinking, I nustro porqque played without papadear in a second, and no, do not stop to think.

I agree with you, we remember only those moments that most clearly affect the psyche

Sometimes break does not so success and useful during MTT how brain relax.
I mean that playing tournament you are concentrate on special poker atmosphere at the table. So when it is 5min break and you just wait till next hand, you can also deflect attention to something different, maybe on You-tube, maybe in social networks, etc.
Once, I started my dinner at the kitchen, and just forget for 3-4 min about MTT. When I came play, I saw my folded cards.....hm....it was pocket Aces....

Be sure you play for winning. not for dinner.

However, squeezing balls and imagining everyone naked simultaneously is not recommended. ;)

Im usually only nervous if Im playing outside of my bankroll. After all tomorrow is another day:)

I have to take a break after a bad beat. And must remid myself that I too give others a bad beat occasionally.

to relax

the business is to relax and only bet when you have a strong hand , careful not to let other players intimidate you
