“Focus, patience, wise discernment, non-attachment – skills you acquire in meditation and the skills you need to thrive in trading are the same.” – Ivan Byeajee
Improving our mindset comes from doing small steps that lead toward a better mentality. Here are some of our tips:
Avoid too many distractions
Are you finding yourself wasting too much time on things that don’t help with your goals? Notice your valuable hours wasting away from browsing too much Twitter or watching too much Netflix? It’s healthy to always be mindful where you spend our time and make sure you’re always working towards more productive things. Be mindful if you’re spoiling yourself with too much “free time.”
Always remember what motivates you
Feeling burnt out? Unmotivated? It’s important to go back to what got us into starting the things we do in the first place and always remind ourselves of them. Write on a sticky note your goals and why you do the things you do and put it somewhere you can’t ignore it every day. It’s a good way to reinvigorate yourself with motivation first thing in the morning.
Don’t be reckless with your money
Where are you finding yourself spending more money? Is it towards your goals or are you spending too much on temporary things? While it’s sometimes good to reward yourself, always remember being responsible for where your money goes.
