So this week was a strange one. For reasons unknown (to me) every 6 or 7 weeks for some reason I wake up in a mood and I feel down for about a week. I have no real reason to be, in fact the day before could've been a great day but for some reason, I simply feel like 'FML'. I have tried to change it, to overcome it, to fight it, but as I don't understand the reason for it, I kinda don't know where to start so I just ride it out knowing eventually I will say 'Enough is enough.' and the mood will subside.
As a result of this I did at least show the discipline to not trade on Monday or Tuesday as I woke up late, which skewed my routine, and lead to me realising that it was very unlikely I would trade well, so I didn't . However, the rest of the week, and especially Friday (for some reason I don't seem to be able to book a profitable Friday session - I know this is just a limiting belief, a story I've told myself so often that I believe it to be true, and so I will be working to change this.), I even considered not trading Friday. But I traded and I also abandoned all discipline. I traded on my phone, I chased losses, I took trades on emotion.
But.....but...it lead to me making more progress than I ever have and as such I turned in a very respectable, disciplined, and productive weekend where I worked on my trading, my mindset and myself, so right now I feel like I have focus, determination, and structure to ensure what happened doesn't happen again. I feel rejuvenated. It's as if I needed what happened to 'shock' me out of where I was, too reset and to make me look at myself, honestly.
So then, let's see what this week holds because I feel confident...
