how does self sabotage show up in trading?

  1. You can build a Mount Everest of self reflection, therapy, hypnosis, voodoo, rituals, good luck amulets, mind control, yoga, finding God, quitting porn alcohol, misc etc...

    But if you're following a flawed trading book from 2004...you'll still continually go bankrupt after bankrupt account after account. Something to think about reality neutrally objectively from a different vantage point perspective

    most people take a lifetime and never see "it's you" you're the problem.

    the old saying think outside the box is only true for a fraction of the people who advance all of mankind from it's mundane state.

    Boom/Bust is a classic symptom. Some consider it a sign of generational trauma.

    Increasing one’s self-awareness through a dedicated & consistent meditation practice is a tried and true solution.

    What does that mean, increasing self awareness?
    How does one know or not know they are deluded?
    How can someone judge themselves?
    What is self awareness?

    It kind of reminds me of the bible, it's true because the bible says its true, duhh!
    So if it's full of bs but claims it's true, then that's proof enough - it's true!
