Mastering Your Emotions
Six Steps to Mastering Your Emotions 

How do most people handle their emotions? They avoid them endure them or use them to compete with other people. There’s a fourth way, a better way, and you can do it in six simple steps —learn from your emotions and utilize them

1. Identify the emotion and appreciate the message:
• It’s saying you have to change something.
2. Clarify:
• What is this emotion trying to tell me? What message is it offering? 
• Do I need to change my perception (the meaning) or my procedures (my communication or my behavior)?
3. Get curious and ask questions:
• How do I really want to feel? As soon as you identify what you want to feel, you’re moving in the direction you want to go. 
• What would I have to believe in order to feel that way now? 
• What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it? 
• What’s great about this, or what can I learn from this?
4. Get confident:
• Recall a specific time when you felt this emotion before and somehow got over it. 
• Remembering a time when you were able to deal with the emotion will reassure you that you can deal with it now. 
5. Get certain:
Imagine coming up with different ways of handling this emotion. If one doesn’t work, try another. Rehearse until you feel confident.
6. Get excited and take action!  
Do something right away that shows you can handle this emotion. Express your emotion in a way that reinforces what you’ve rehearsed in your mind and changes the way you feel.

We must cultivate our garden.  —Voltaire

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

Self-Discipline

One must gain mastery over self the person who is not master of himself can never be master of others. Lack of self-mastery is, of itself, the most destructive form of indefiniteness. By mastering the three appetites responsible for most of one's lack of self discipline. The three appetites are (1) The desire for food, (2) The desire for expression of sex, (3) The desire to express loosely organized opinions. When a man becomes master of these three appetites, he has developed enough self-discipline to conquer easily those of lesser importance. Self mastery contempates sufficient control over the appetites to enable one to feed them what they need and withhold food not needed. Take the desire for physical food, for example. The majority of people are so weak in self discipline they fill their stocmachs with combinations of rich food which please the taste but overwork the organs of digestion and elimination. They pour into their stomachs both quantity and combinations of food which...

Blessing In Disguise

I used to hate my enemies. But that was before I learned how well they were serving me by keeping me everlastingly on the alert lest some weak spot in my character provide an opening through which they might damage me. In view of what I have learned of the value of enemies, if I had none I would feel it my duty to create a few. They would discover my defects and point them out to me, whereas my friends, if they saw my weaknesses at all, would say nothing about them. ACCEPT FAILURE AS A NORMAL PART OF LIVING. VIEW IT AS PART OF THE PROCESS OF EXPLORING YOUR WORLD; MAKE A NOTE OF ITS LESSONS AND MOVE ON.  -Tom Hobson  There can be no failure for the person who "still fights on:' No one has ever failed until they accept temporary defeat as failure. I am convinced that failure is Nature's plan through which she hurdle jumps those of destiny and prepares them to do their work. Failure is Nature's great crucible in which she burns the dross from the human hear...
