How to battle promo series anxiety?

With a full time job and not that much time to play, I'm starting to get overly nervous whenever I hit a series (and recover right after I fail it). Just this season, I've played my P3-->P2 series SIX TIMES before finally succeeding in one. Not long after that I hit my next promo to Plat 1.

Then I failed my P2-->P1 promo twice in a day. I know I played bad in those.

On the contrary, when I'm at 0 LP (which has happened a few times this season as well), I was also a bit nervous but was able to turn that into very tight and focused gameplay. With a bit of luck, I haven't lost a single game at 0LP (while I almost lost every single game at 100LP).

Any tips on how to avoid playing visibly worse during promos? I know it's a common problem, but any suggestion is welcome and appreciated :)

if you're feeling stressed out you could try take a shower, nap, fap or you could just watch your fav tv show. Any activity to keep you relaxed calm and stress free

I would say just treat it like a normal game. In the end, it is for everyone. The more you think it's a big deal, the more you're going to try and not mess up which will just lead to you constantly doubting your every action. Relax, enjoy it, you will make it there if you believe in the Heart of the Cards.

Realise you will not become a pro player/make money off this game. Nobody cares whether you're master tier or bronze tier, we only play this game to pass time anyway
