Mind creates matter
As fascinating as this principle is, as demanding it is as well.
It is not easy to control one's mind.
Yes, we spoke about great tools like NLP(Neuro-Linguistic Programming), amongst others, to condition market execution conducive responses and overcome unwanted beliefs from typical childhood hardships.
But what about this crazy thing that when you get out of bed with the left foot, if you just had a bad dream, the entire day follows suit like Murphie's law (if something can go wrong, it will), and all turns to s..., the whole day.
Fear not; there are solutions as well.
One particularly effective solution is Anthony Robbins' full immersion priming technique, a personal favorite of mine.
Every day after getting up, Tony primes his brain, meaning he makes sure that his mental operations originate from a centered pole within and are not influenced by bad news or a Twitter post.
It is an illusion to think we start out clean with our mind; quite the contrary.
Many studies have shown how underestimated the outside influences are that control our mind's interpretations of our surroundings after these fears and limiting beliefs outside data packages have been bombarded at us.
So why not do what the toothbrush does for our teeth, with Tony's priming method for our brains:
A fresh start
The great thing is, you don't have to take my word for it.
Try this 10-minute routine after you wake up for a few days and see if it suits you (the great thing is it also makes you feel super happy).
Walk into the market with this grounded, primed, fresh, neutral mindset and see if it suits your daily trading routines.
Here is the link to have Tony Robbins show you how it's done- it's free!
I use this technique not only as an AM primer but also as pattern interrupts and a recalibration should unwanted thoughts or emotional states interrupt my daily trading routines.
