Speaking at an Under Armour panel, Joshua said he was turning to ‘uplifting activities’ to help put him in the right headspace.
“I’m not happy with what happened in my previous fight. You have to be angry at losing and it’s not acceptable,” he says.
“My losses should be put in my highlights reel really, as that’s the stuff that shapes you, it’s always on my mind.
“I don’t take losses well, I fight the best consistently, and I try to overcome obstacles.”
Joshua’s next fight is set for April 2022 and after September’s loss, he’s taking on a new approach.
Mental health is key to all of us, and can make a real impact for any athlete; it’s something Watford-born Joshua puts a lot of emphasis on.

Joshua says mental recovery is really important for him and explains that keeping his mental health in good condition helps him feel strong and perform at his best.
Keeping an eye on his social media usage is a crucial step in managing his mental health.
“It’s all about the environment I create around myself and the information I let in,” says Joshua.
“It’s too much of an effort to block out social media. If you like it, jump on it, but when you’re on it, control what you let into your life.
“If you use it, it’s fine, get the positives out of it.
“You have to fill your life with motivation, because life is hard. 
“I’ve been at the bottom so I need to see things that are uplifting.” 
Anthony Joshua’s top tips for training outside this winterChilly training doesn’t just have to involve sub-zero temperatures and sprinting in the snow.
“It’s important to just get outside and just get some sunshine,” says Joshua.
“Just going for a walk and getting some sunlight is great; it’s so important to be outside.”
If you’re anxious about cold weather workouts, start slow and build up your cold weather tolerance.
“Lots of little things impact us,” says Joshua.
“You need small targets. Small little steps will take you a long way.
“Cold training is good because it helps you learn how to deal with stress. 
“It helps you become a better person, no matter what environment you are in.”

Another way he keeps his mental health topped up is with a chilly daily ritual.
While many influencers and athletes like to post photos of themselves luxuriously lounging in hot places like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Joshua much prefers the cold, and Joshua likes to take a cold shower first thing.
It’s a shock to the system, and a boost for his mental health.
“A cold shower is one of the first things I do in the morning,” he says.
“It’s all about being uncomfortable. 
“Each day presents me with millions of obstacles and I just feel like if I can get through a 30 second cold shower, then I can deal with 10 minutes of stress.”
LET’S GET PHYSICAL
Joshua, an Under Armour ambassador, takes his cold shower philosophy into the training ring too. 
Icy weather training might be something he struggles with, but he says: “It’s that mental blockage that you need to overcome.”
He remembers his trainer telling him to go for a run outdoors, in freezing temperatures. 
“I knew I had to go outside. The spartans and the vikings would always be outside, but I’m a new school guy.
“My coach showed me a video of someone running in the snow, so I knew what I had to do.
“I had to overcome my thoughts and I felt alive when I came back from that run.”
Training at low temperatures can be hugely beneficial for your physical and mental health, if you can get yourself out the door.
“Being in a warm environment relaxes you, you shut down,” says Joshua.
“The cold signals to your brain and the rest of your body that you need to wake up.
“It’s all about being switched on and that’s what cold weather training does for your mind and body.”

Nagelsmann, 33, refuted claims that Upamecano will depart in the coming weeks.
But he admitted that the deal could well happen next year.
He told ESPN: “He [Upamecano] will be here for the season. I’m sure about that. As for the future, I’m not sure as he is very talented.
“Lots of clubs will want to buy – next season it could be real that he leaves the club.

“But this season he will stay.”
And speaking on international duty Upamecano, 21, was non-committal.
He said: “I am targeted by several clubs, I speak with clubs, but I have time. We will see what happens in the future.”
Upamecano penned a new three-year contract with the Bundesliga side back in July.

And last month, amid more speculation, Leipzig were keen to point it out – retweeting their previous announcement with an “ICYMI”.
But the deal reportedly allows Upamecano to leave the club for £40million next summer.
The Red Devils have been chasing a new defender this summer, as they seek a regular partner for skipper Harry Maguire.

The midfielder’s struggles led to two loan stints as he temporarily joined CSKA Moscow and Trabzonspor last season.
Despite having another year on his contract, the Ivory Coast international doesn’t appear likely to make Everton manager Sean Dyche’s plans for the upcoming season.
Now the 27-year-old appears to be selling his kit on social media.
The Ivorian reportedly shared a picture of Everton shirts, tracksuit tops and socks on Facebook Marketplace.

Gbamin appeared to post the advert with the following caption: “Everton Football Club Clothes Bundle – Brand New and Match Worn Shirts £300.”
The versatile midfielder’s turbulent four-year stint at Merseyside got off on the wrong foot after his arrival from Germany.
Gbamin suffered a serious hamstring injury within weeks of joining the club.
