PAIN + REFLECTION = PROGRESS An excerpt from Ray Dalio's book : Principles: Life and Work "There is no avoiding pain, especially if you’re going after ambitious goals. Believe it or not, you are lucky to feel that kind of pain if you approach it correctly, because it is a signal that you need to find solutions so you can progress. If you can develop a reflexive reaction to psychic pain that causes you to reflect on it rather than avoid it, it will lead to your rapid learning/evolving. After seeing how much more effective...

Just some Wednesday night rambling thoughts



PAIN + REFLECTION = PROGRESS


"LIMBIC FRICTION"



Limbic Friction is a term coined by Andrew Huberman....Pain+Reflection=Progress is a Ray Dalio quote

Who exemplifies this ? David Goggins....Love him hate him or maybe never heard of him...No matter

You want to be a better trader...whether its to make a few bucks or big coin,,,then you need to lean in Hard to your "limbic friction."

IT ALL comes back to You vs You..

Thats all trading is...Self Mastery agree or disagree...No matter

A 50% method/system can make you wealthy..Think about that... Yet we all get caught up searching for the perfect method.
Just pick find a method with a positive edge...Once you do that its a 90% psychological game after that..

Nothing comes easy and pain and suffering is a big part of this business.. Gotta be a great loser.

LIMBIC FRICTION / Andrew Huberman some great insights on human behaviour ,,check him out.

Cheers and green pips to all.........

Reframing limbic friction: How to deal with strain during focused work:

There’s one thing that all of us face when tackling focused, “deep” work: a feeling of strain – especially during the first 10 to 15 minutes of a bout. If you want to improve your ability to focus deeply, understanding and dealing with that feeling is key.

Your brain evolved to save mental energy whenever feasible. So it tries to hand over as much work as possible to your reflexes. That’s why collaborative work – like checking e-mail or group chat – often is like candy for your limbic system. Working in a reflexive, bottom-up way is easy, just as reaching for that cookie on your desk.

Focusing intensely on a challenging task requires top-down control. Your prefrontal cortex goes to war with your limbic system, which consumes a lot of mental energy. Like staying away from that cookie, working in a reflective, top-down way feels hard.

Andrew Huberman of Stanford University has come up with an excellent term for that phenomenon: limbic friction. The strain you feel during limbic friction is caused by the release of a chemical in the brain called norepinephrine. In the body, that chemical goes by a name that all of us know: adrenaline.

On top of norepinephrine, which makes you alert, your brain then releases a second chemical: acetylcholine. Acetylcholine enables you to focus deeply. In short, norepinephrine and acetylcholine are necessary for our brain to focus. So, limbic friction is not an annoying byproduct, but the precondition to making progress on challenging focused work.

In terms of mastering focus, reframing that feeling of strain is critical. When you encounter limbic friction, do three things: First, remind yourself that it is a sign of your brain getting ready to solve the problem at hand. Second, remember that you need to give it at least 10 to 15 minutes to get going. Third, note that how you deal with limbic friction is self-reinforcing: Following through will make it easier to perform that feat the next time you are trying to focus deeply.
It never gets easier, you just get better

Okay - joking apart....Have previously drawn my levels -see 5 minute chart. Box is drawn at 8am UK time ( 7am to 8am) and the 50% box level and open of 8am UK time drawn at 8am and marked forward on chart.
The 5 min bars thrash about with long tails which I dislike. The one minute is inside the box and upper level and heads toward previous low. Hindsight says I could have shorted inside the box but past tells me this is not always worth the worry. Am I dithering here - maybe.
Price then goes back up through 50% and open line and upper level around 15740. Target 15775 which is the next level and as it's nearly the end of my trading slot I will close if that level is hit.
I suppose what I am trying to say is that this is how I see the world - Levels that give me a decision framework - is price "wiggling" or making a sustained move - anything in the way - space to move etc - ( NOT Triggers)

This guy is great! I run his 4x4x48 when they happen, of course you can run at any time but usually once a year he will put on a 4x4x48.

This game/this business is all about mindset. Success in anything really. Your fitness and mental game are key! Personally, fitness is one of those areas that really drives your mentality game to the next level.

You get asked, If the mentality part or the you vs you is so important in trading, how do you fix that. Well, FITNESS is one of those ways, Physical and Personal excellence drive your trading game to the next level. The guy above is a fucking beast man and great to listen to.

His story ,,his trials and tribulations are mindblowing... Read his book or listen to some youtube vids on his story.

A friend was talking to me about just this today, specifically Hair Loss & it's remedy.

He advised using Emu Oil, it seems to work wonders with muscle, joint & skin problems including Hair Loss, Alopaecia. Eczema, Psoriasis, swelling of joints, arthritis etc.

I haven't tried it yet, so can only speak from others experience.

I thought he was pulling my Leg, but it seems to be true.
