The Mindfulness Series by Poker Life India: Recent Episodes
Raj Shrestha Juneja
The need for mental health and mindfulness is probably the most underrated aspect in the 21st century, which was further highlighted by the pandemic. This series aims to highlight not just the need for it but seeks to initiate the journey for many. It shall seek to do so through reviewing relevant literature and interactions with people who excel in their fields, poker or otherwise!
"Your habits determine your destiny." This statement couldn't be further from the truth. I am joined this Monday by known mindset coach, James Whittet. James has made his life's mission to help poker players achieve their best and he realizes that the mental game presents a huge edge for those who seek to excel in it. This session shall be a deep dive into how one can recognize their patterns and thereafter train themselves to supercharge their lives by the power of habits!
