Anybody else find this is a great way to reset the tilt button? The deep philsophical thoughts I have just seem to erase tilt when I go for a walk when it is fresh and peaceful.

Yes...though I live in quite a quiet environment, so it hasn't to be at night.
Besides a walk could be a relief after sitting at a desk for hours, it also helps me to get my mind set.

I do not think it is a good idea to walk late at night. Need to sleep at night.

God, my favorite thing.... everyone who can do this should... currently is way to cold outside, and it would turn into a death walk for me.

I usually go out late at night in the yard and breathe the fresh air with music on headphones.Close my eyes minutes for 3-5 minutes until the end of the track and move on to play.It helps me to relax and to adjust my game. :cool:

This is a great way to relax your mind and relieve stress. I have a dog, so taking walks is at the top of the priorities list hehe

I enjoy a good walk from time to time. Night is generally the most peaceful time to do it as well. Not only can it be good for resetting tilt but also to reaffirm everything you believe in, your goals etc. It's perhaps the best way to spend time with yourself.

I love to walk. But not necessarily late at night. I love to walk when the autumn, I love it when it rains, I love to walk when the snow crackles underfoot ... just do not like vetar. But, do not do it as much as I should. My job is a lot I have to walk so probably catch up.

Cool glad its just not me. I like it when its cold (up to a point obviously) anything under about 5 degrees C is pushing it!

Iflylight, that sounds like heaven dude. Wish I lived on the coast in Spain (my fave holiday resort). I love watching the sunrise on the beach after a lads night out on the town and then walking straight into breakfast at the hotel, or wobbling into breakfast rather!


:cool:

When I'm tilting, I shut the laptop and play Xbox for a little bit. Grand Theft Auto sure does help when you go on a rampage to get your starred wanted level up :)

I like to take a walk outside between the planned tournaments. Somehow this is most of the time in the night. Let all the tense which was build up during the tourney slip away and start the next one with a fresh start.

I live within walking distance of a lake, and usually walk down there to catch a moonrise when it's full, or to see some astronomy event that is a one-outer during our lifetimes. I'm usually being dragged by a pug who thinks she's training for the Iditarod lol.

It's definitely peaceful, and the eastern shore colors up nicely during the fall.

Walks are so therapeutic, regardless the weather! I try to fit in, at least 30 minutes a day with dogs in tow, and even through the winter I try to get down to the lake. I have to remember to take pictures of the shoreline with all the snow and ice..it's quite pretty. The simpler things in life can really take your mind off just about anything that could be bothering you.

i love my walks but im a early morning walker. late night has too many factors to make it detrimental to my health like want to be gangsters. yea i know i could carry my pistol but really dont like shooting people either (jk) lol. i find it sure helps in a lot of different ways. healthy body and mind goes a long ways on the tables.

late at night, taking a walk around here is a bit risky, maybe if I look out the window or go out into my backyard to clear my head. or I prepare some delicious mates.

I prefer running, walking won't make my toughts get away from poker, but when I'm running, I tend to be more concious about my breathing so my mind gets very clean and relaxed. I enjoy it a lot, it's like instead of being afraid of getting wet, enjoy the rain falling in you. :)

long walks are great for de-tilting. Thjey are also just great in general for exercise and blood flow. Never a bad idea to go on a long walk and have a deep think about things.
