That's the right mindset, gambling should be an outlet to release our stress, and not a place to put money in the hope of doubling it as an additional income.
When we think of income from gambling, we tend to prioritize it over our job, because we think that if we win, it's easy money compared to working 9 to 5.
This is a trap that should be avoided; we should place gambling in its rightful place, which is as an entertainment portal.
There are much better ways and activities for reduce our stress or get rid of stress, and I am sure gambling is not helpful for this. Because with gambling you have risk of losing money and it creates more stress and pressure.
Better ways are gaming that can be played without money spent and it can gibe you pure entertainment and fun but of course you must choose games that don't require you to buy skins, equipments with your money.
A best way to deal with stress is hang out more and be more active by doing more physical activities, exercises as most regular as possible. It is no cost in finance and can improve your mental health a lot while your physical health will be benefited too. Sit less, walk mors, turn to more actively, less stress you will have.
Gambling can be used but for fun and if you afford to lose your money for fun while there is small chance of winning big.
