When I'm on tilt or about to go on tilt I do as much as I can to get into a relaxed state. In my view tilt is caused by tension buildup that we are unable to release.
Quick fixes include
-Deep breathing
-Intentionally relaxing muscles
-Getting up and walking around
-Shaking things out
-Stretching
-Putting things into perspective
-Engaging gratitude/thankfulness
-Closing my eyes and counting to 10
All these things help to go from a highly focused, highly active, highly stressed state, to one that is much more calm, centered and relaxed. As I get into this state I realize that it's ok to miss a hand, to take a 5 minute break, to disconnect for a moment so that I can digest the experiences which are overwhelming me and making me feel uneasy. Once the processing is done then I can return with a fresh slate ready to play my best poker again
For longer term solutions I made this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of-owVCW6kI
And for really long term work, I invest time with a therapist to unravel the deeply routed issues that are causing subtle tilt on a deep level. Combining this process with a health active lifestyle helps me to move all the old energies thru that make it easier for me to tilt, and I'm finding day by day, month by month, year by year I become much less affected by anything that happens on the poker table.
A good question to ask when feelings of tilt arise is "why does this bother me so much" and that will start you on a good process to finding the root cause
Also highly recommend Jared Tendler's "The Mental Game of Poker" it's an amazing book for tilt issues, I read it back in 2013 and it helped me a ton!
Hello people! I imagine that each player will have their own techniques or attitudes to overcome the tilt, and I think it would be interesting to share them.
I try to remind myself that it is a game and that losing or making mistakes is not the end of the world, but sometimes I have to stop playing a couple of days to get over it. And you, do you have any technique?

Ultimately you will need to root out
1. What made you tilt
2. Understand why you tilt when this event happens
3. Take preventive or corrective action...
I know this is not specific advise jadaminato but it is as specific as I can go since I don´t know you personally but this helps me when I go on tilt and take some time to relax. You can sort it out! see you around!
