A Euphoric Win

 I love playing the game of Mexican dominoes. I am not a strong player. I often come in last place. I bounce right back up and wanna play another game. My brain tells me new strategies that I will play for the next game.

This last year, during a dominoes game, I did the uncharacteristic and unusual practice during one of our games. I won. I won. My head was spinning from the euphoria I felt in the moment. I wanted to play dominoes for hours.

That is how positive thinking works. You get a high and want it to occur again. Now, my next games might result in a loss, but the high from my win keeps me playing the game. Again and again. All in my effort to win and get the positive feeling again.

See you next week…
