However you almost always have the glorious anticipation feeling beforehand.
You can try and nip the anticipation in the bud by reminiscing about a bad punt, being totally negative about it like the girls are nasty and have bad breath. Google some images of Syphilis or herpes sores you might get and then replace the punting event with something else. Other good neurotransmitters are generated by exercise, being in nature, going on a date, a great meal, speaking to a good friend or planning a great holiday
One thing that can work is always paying for things cashless as punting is usually cash and the act of withdrawing cash is a hassle and can be set as a red line. Harder of you are a cash in hand crook, too much temptation with all those avocados.
