Then puke your guts out & relieve yourself, reset your mind and try again. . .Those types of techniques work for some people. Typically those whose seasickness is mild. They even work for me when the sea is relatively calm and the motion is not too severe. But they simply do not work for everyone, and they don't work for me when the sea is rough.
And BTW, though I am less prone to carsickness when I am driving, I do get carsick when driving a high-performance sports car, pulling a significant fraction of a G while accelerating or turning hard.
Your methods are useful, but they only work up to a point. After that they fail.
"If you can't fight it or flee from it --then just flow with it"
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better. . ."
You may not be able to totally defeat it in the roughest seas, but you can live with it:
. . .But once you get good at it, you can hold the malaise to a reasonable level even in stormy seas --a "four" for instance on a scale from 1 to 10, with "ten" being projectile vomiting, extreme nausea, hugging the rail and begging for someone to shoot you . . . (In my thirty hour passage from mainland Costa Rica to Cocos Island, I was cognitively exhausted performing the technique over an extended period, and just simply fell asleep naturally). . .
