DFS Mindfulness

As a daily fantasy sports player, it's important to prioritise your mental health and wellbeing. Daily fantasy sports can be a fun and exciting hobby, but it's easy to get caught up in the competition and lose sight of your overall health, especially during financial downswings.

Incorporating mindfulness practices and implementing mental health tips can help you maintain a balanced and healthy approach to daily fantasy sports.

Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and fully engaged in your surroundings. It can help you reduce stress and anxiety, which can be particularly beneficial during high-pressure moments. Try taking a few deep breaths before sitting down to start building your lineups, or take a quick break to meditate or stretch during a game so that you aren’t too fixated on your results.

It's important to set boundaries with your daily fantasy sports activities. While it's easy to get caught up in the competition, it's important to prioritise other aspects of your life, such as work, family, and social activities. Set specific times for daily fantasy sports routines, and stick to them.

Outside of your DFS routine, find time for regular exercise and it’s essential for both physical and mental health. Take breaks away from your desk to engage in physical activity, such as going for a walk or doing yoga and you’ll find this will actually help you stay energised and focused throughout the day while you're at your computer.

Sleep is another crucial activity for mental health and overall well-being. It’s very easy to get caught staying up late to watch overseas sports, but several nights of this in a row can be detrimental to your health and in turn, your DFS success. Make sure you're getting enough restful sleep each night to avoid burnout and reduce your stress.

Having a clear mind set is crucial to help you build optimal DFS lineups on Draftstars. Make time for self-care activities that help improve your stress levels. Meditation is ideal for resetting yourself, while relaxing activities such as taking a bath, reading a book, or listening to music will help you relax and recharge, allowing you to approach your daily fantasy sports with a clear and focused mindset.

Daily fantasy sports sometimes feel like a solitary activity, but we have an active daily fantasy sports community here in Australia. Try to maintain social connections with others, join in conversations on our Daily Fantasy Rankings twitter account, and don’t forget to spend time with friends and family outside of DFS. These social connections will improve your mindset and help you stay mentally fresh for DFS.

By incorporating these mindfulness practices and mental health tips into your daily routine as a daily fantasy sports player, you'll be able to maintain a healthy and balanced approach to your hobby and improve your results. Remember, daily fantasy sports should be enjoyable and fun, not a source of stress and anxiety.
