Today, Eva answers a question from Tom in Seattle. \\xa0\\xa0Tom writes: Eva, I hope you can help me with something. \\xa0\\xa0I play baseball. I\\u2019ve been playing for a few years now, and it is my favorite sport. \\xa0Like in any sport, you have good days and you have bad days. Sometimes, I will play really well, and I\\u2019ll get a few big hits, score some runs, and even help my team win. \\xa0\\xa0Other times, it feels like I can\\u2019t hit the ball. I\\u2019ll strike out or hit the ball right to the infielder for an easy out. Here\\u2019s the problem that my parents and I noticed. While I do feel happy when I play well, I feel way way worse when I play bad. \\xa0For example, if we win, we give High 5s to the other team, we celebrate, I feel great, and then I just go about my normal day. But when we lose and I play bad, it really bums me out. And not just right after the game. I\\u2019ll actually come home and still be upset about it hours later. \\xa0\\xa0Do you have any advice on how I can enjoy the good games more, and not let the bad games affect me so much?
