A Strong Trading Mind

Drop it like it's hot...all the doubt, worry, frustration, stress and anxiety that has been robbing you of your health or causing you to lose sleep at night. Decide to live your life looking forward...not backwards. Examine yourself and be brutally honest with you. If you have habits, behaviors, or choices that are taking you down the wrong path, or that don't represent the GREATNESS that is within you...face the truth.

Make the hard decision to release these from your life. Don't allow these choices or habits to rob you of your greatest life or dictate your future. Take back your power, deepen your resolve to win, and intensify the pursuit of what you want. Practice calming your mind, going within, and finding a place of peace within yourself. The mark of GREATNESS is upon you. Live from this place...because this is the truth of who you really are.

If you are dwelling over your last losing trade, it means that you are eager to regain your losses.

When you think of your last three winning trades, you feel like you’re a market wizard and you cannot lose.

Both scenarios cause you to relax your trade criteria and over-leverage. Dwelling over past performance affects your trading behaviour, and always for the worse.

It’s time. It is time for you to make a tough decision. Take a deep breath. Get still. Visualize the worst case scenario. After doing that, see your self having made the decision, stepping into your personal power, becoming more courageous and stronger. It is time! Your mental well being, health and happiness are dependent upon you making this decision. If you do not do it now, you will look at yourself one day and say “Why did I waste so much valuable time?” If you do not do it now, you will regret it, and this situation will continue to take a toll on you mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically!

It’s been said that people delay making tough decisions ~ not because they don’t know what to do. They do not make the tough decisions because they know what to do, but lack the courage and will to deal with the emotional consequences. You can do this!! See it done. You are now operating from a higher place of integrity and personal power and going to the next level in your life. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!

You have taken a hit. Life has knocked you down, but you are not knocked out. You have more going for you than you realize. Others might laugh and say you are through. But they do not know you like that. You have the ability to pull victory from the jaws of defeat! Now is the time for you to gather your wits; clear your head and mind; and dig down deep. Resolve to unleash your creative energy, unstoppable attitude and resourcefulness.

This is your time and your moment to prove to yourself and to everyone else who you really are. You have the power to change your circumstances; change your finances; love again; rebuild relationships; and create your own job or business. You have the power to open the doors of possibility and move your life forward. You have the power within you because you have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!
