Overview
This was a week indeed. As with every passing day, I experienced a plethora of changes, in the same way any progress is made. Pushing forward results, getting new, and to an extent old setbacks, alongside the dance that is the process of growth.
Good, bad, and everything in between, I often go through shifts as well as cycles where everything lines up perfectly, then I decided to continue pushing forward the boundaries of success, and am met with new resistance to overcome. This is what progress looks like, and I am learning to welcome it with open arms. The shifts in attitude and mood were plenty, having experiences of joy, sorrow, anxiety, and frustration. A lot of bad for the little good, but I’m learning to focus on the good, to the best of my abilities. Sometimes depression hits hard, and in the past I’ve noticed a negative correlation in my trading with my depression. In theme of focusing on the good however, I’m happy to say that this weeks in terms of trade results, I noticed no correlation whatsoever. My mood didn’t (As frequently) have a direct effect on my decision making. This week more often than not, it only meant I wasn’t happy while doing the process of trading.
This doesn’t mean I don’t experience my own battles, both internally, or with my process. It’s ever flowing like a river, in constant motion, crashing, and moments of calmness, leaving me with only a chance to relish in my victories, before being met with the crashing shifts as the river flows ever forward.
What I’m Expecting
With the end of the week here, I’m left only able to look on forward for the coming changes that I’m expecting and preparing for.
This week in terms of that has been better than others. I feel like every time I was pulled back from progress, I slingshot forward further, and continued to see overall positive change. I’m expecting the same next week, choosing to trust myself enough to expect continuous results in the form of a bigger picture outlook.
I’ve experienced difficulty with this in the past, and still very much struggle as often times I bring myself to the present and realize the circumstances I find myself under, but I’m trying my hardest to shift my views in those moments from self pity to making progress. Making a schedule, and planning my days to an extent has helped with this, as it allows me to see everyday as a new opportunity, as well as maintain the focus necessary to push myself in the right direction and maintain momentum, at least for that particular day.
I’m sure next week will be no different, providing me with the full spectrum of my emotions, alongside the clarity after. The river will flow, taking me down my journey toward the goal I seek, with many bumps along the way.
Conclusion
I look forward to whatever comes next, and welcome it with open arms. Hopefully whatever it is I go through, I’ll be able to maintain an overall positive outlook and push onward.
Hope you enjoy your weekend. – JayesusR
