Kicking a Call

[rcwilco]

A couple of things I do. I acknowledge to myself that I made the mistake and then mentally block it out of my thoughts. I will then do what I do when tired or in lopsided games, i.e., focus on the basics even to the point of talking to myself about positioning, mechanics and mental focus. Then a couple of minutes have passed, I am back in the game and it is history until later.
I keep a journal of my games and experiences worth remembering or learning from. I include my mistakes but rather than just write them down, I will study and review the rule or mechanic, call mentors and post on here. I find that even if I know the rule or situation that I kicked, I tend to not repeat the mistake this way.
