Dear Fellow Trader,
Positive self-talk is an important trading hack (life hack in general). How you identify yourself, becomes your identity. Your habits, relationships, surroundings, universe start falling in that line. If you are not going to encourage yourself and think positive/good about yourself, who else will.
I see a lot of traders who put description like
‘flop trader’
‘failed trader’
‘pathetic trader’
‘loser’
‘lost xx amount in trading’
Please understand, this is not helping you improve. Also, there are lot many people, who doesn’t put such negative description in their bio, but are carrying it in their head. All such negative thoughts and acceptance of negative traits reflects back and makes things even worse. What you send out to the universe, comes back to you. There are enough people out there to pull you down, you don’t have to join them.
As part of my profession I teach ‘Brand Management’, the brand development process starts with ‘brand identity’, i.e. how an organisation want to be perceived by the customers. Similarly the self-development process starts with a positive self identity and a positive self-talk.
Knowing your improvement areas is important but accepting them as part of you shows clear lack of motivation and discipline to improve them. They will only aggravate further.
Please have positive self-talks. Your failures don’t define you, what you learn from them and how you grow from there on defines you. Learn from your mistakes and identify yourself as a learner/fighter/perseverant, whatever. Your actions and universe will always fall in line to match your perception about yourself.
Stay Positive!! Keep Learning!! Keep Hustling!!
Happy Trading!!
