- Your mood is more important than you probably realize. Have you ever noticed that, regardless of what you're doing, your performance tends to suffer if you're upset or under a lot of stress? Games are no different. If gaming tends to pick up your mood, odds are simply playing will improve your performance. If you are the type who gets frustrated easily, though, one or two mistakes can easily put you in a tailspin that makes you play even worse. If music tends to relax you, turn on some music while you're playing. If you need your surroundings to be quiet, make it happen. You'd probably be surprised to see how much better you will play simply by approaching the game with the proper mindset.
