Assessment of state of mind matters a lot before engaging in gambling. You must examine your mind status. When your emotion is low, that means your psycho is high and stable, therefore you can engage in gambling. But when your emotion is high, that means your state of mind is low and unstable, therefore it is advisable to desist and quit gambling.

I tried to put my emotion under control. I don't allow impulse to take control of my body system. During gambling, I do allow self discipline to guide my gambling activities which has helped me in not exceeding responsible gambling. Irrespective of the outcome of my gambling, I don't allow emotional feeling to misguided my decision making.
