LESSON: "Think Your Way to Success"
I’ve read many books on this topic and more and more testing is proving the fact that you can think your way to being a stronger more successful trader. Know you must be thinking; “What is she crazy, how is that possible?” They tested two groups of people on the piano. Playing certain keys in an order. Group one played the keys on the keyboard and group 2 repetitively thought the same keys by just thinking them. Time after time they both were successful in playing the keys perfectly. Group 1 did, and Group 2 used just thought. Yet this concept of thinking through a process and enacting has been used many times. Think of the astronauts simulating landing on the moon over and over. And when they actually stepped on the mon for the first time, the first words spoken when asked how was it? were….” Just like drill Scottie, just like drill.”
But this concept is even more powerful when used to envision the strongest, most confident of trading behaviors. Or what I’ll call the BEST Trading Self you can be.
The best comes from what is going on in your head. And trading IS a head game and anyone who tells you different is fooling you. When traders fall back to thoughts of bad behaviors the mind reverts to what has been stored from past experiences and brings up the “Old Self”. So, you could say your reliving the past instead of creating a NEW improved future. This is where many traders stay “stuck” and find changing and breaking a bad habit so difficult. Their conscious mind is not in control and their “auto-pilot” sub-conscious kicks in. This is easy to observe and not so easy to reverse when trading. So here are some first steps to taking hold of your mind and re-programming the new improved BEST trader you can be.
First, track what you’re doing incorrectly with each trade and see if there is a repeated pattern. That’s the first step to identifying what you don’t want in order to define what you do want in your BEST SELF. See how often you do this behavior during the trading week. Being aware is the first step to changing anything. It provides focus and clarity. Define what thoughts you’re having when the error occurs. That’s the “Old You” that must change.
Step 2 Determine what the “New You” should be saying instead what are the BEST thoughts you could have to stay in control. Write it down and be sure to re-read it when going into the same circumstance as you trade.
Step 3 Stay steadfast in your determination to change this and BE the new you. The mind doesn’t know the difference it only knows what you tell it.
Step 4 Be aware of your self-talk as you trade and be sure that ALL thoughts are moving you in a forward direction. Check by asking; “Does this help me trade better?” “Does this support the BEST trader I want to be? Decide to BE the NEW you.
Finally you may have to fight your way through this as the memory can be strong if you’ve done this for a long time. If it won’t go away it’s always smart to get help.
Be the BEST trader you desire, he’s in there somewhere. As always great trading! - Robin
