· I’m an idiot.

· I’ll lose all my money.

· I better stop trading.

· I better get a professional manager.

· My wife, husband, boss, client will get rid of me.

· I’m so bad, I don’t deserve to win.

None of that will assist you in improving the situation. We want to be honest with ourselves. We want to get better. We need to perceive the overall reality of ourselves, our methods, our markets, but we don’t need to put a roadblock point blank in front of our trading perceptions.

We need to look for the good forces in our lives and trading. What can we learn? How can we make things better? What’s good about this? Is there an opportunity on the other side?

And so you can begin to say some of the following:

I don’t have to do this again.
I can make money trading and investing. I can get better.
Money can be made in the markets.
I can choose the best sources of guidance and mentoring.
I have the ability to learn and develop.
I can protect the bulk of my money.
My money is safe as I invest and trade in improving ways.
My wife, husband, boss, clients can begin to appreciate my efforts.
I learn, I focus, I trade in resilient and disciplined ways, and I deserve to win.

Remember the winds of grace are blowing, put up your sails, and find your way.
