 All right, welcome everyone to Mindfulness practice live hosted by Trader Bianca Bianca, what do you have in store for us today? Well, um In light of today, I think Few people might have taken some losses today in power hour. So I thought that maybe a little meditation or mindfulness practice about that would be Just an order Excellent Yeah, I think that Just to start us off thinking about this You know people think that generally when I mean everybody has different reactions to taking losses You know some people get Just disappointed some people lose confidence some people get really angry There are all kinds of different reactions people can have to taking losses and One I think very common strategy is just press emotions and Generally, you know that that can be very effective for a very short Period of time for a very in the very short term But if there is a general If there's a repeated emotion coming up around losses then constantly exerting willpower to Press those emotions is not sustainable over the long term So we have to come up with other strategies to Mitigate those emotions and to That necessarily suppress them but Figure out how to let them exist Within us without letting them control us. So that's something we're going to be Working on today. I like it because I've always traditionally I've always been very good at suppressing my emotions and my wife can vouch for that Yeah, yeah, you know, I think I think that's um That's most people's route because it's a it's a you know, it's an easier route and Really Attempting to be With those emotions and letting them exist within us. So So I think that's a if anyone has any questions before we start Take a look at that Anyone have any questions? No. Nope doesn't look like it Okay. All right, so we'll we'll get started and as usual we want to Bring ourselves to some kind of a comfortable position whether that's seated or lying down Whatever whatever works for you is good and And we'll get started I'm gonna start us off with some relaxing music Hopefully a nice can hear that start by settling down into a chair or The floor if you're lying down fully bringing your awareness to your body Into the present moment without worrying about the future or the past start by Breathing slowly through the nose Creating a circular movement with your breath and control the breath You just let it flow naturally with each exhalation Settle a little bit deeper into your mind into your body Feeling any stress or tension just melt away if your mind starts to wander at any point during the practice gently guided back Without judgment Attaching to the thought that you were having gently refocus on the breath Let yourself be present with what is happening right now become aware of the areas in your body that typically hold stress for example The stress you might feel or the tension you might feel after a loss Typically those areas would be Your face your neck Shoulders your upper chest Take a deep inhale through the nose and let your awareness settle into those areas of your body Notice any tension ball wants to clench When we're feeling anxious Or stressed your awareness In those parts of your body Melt away you brought your awareness to those areas start to recall the feeling of Maybe disappointment or fear or anxiety Or stress whatever that feeling what you felt a loss for example Recall that feeling But realize that feeling is just that it's a feeling It does not control you and you can come you can just be its observer this feeling to exist within you Without judgment without trying to suppress it just Remain patient with yourself See if you can examine that feeling a little bit further Is there a color you would attach to it? Is there a texture? You perceive Notice any sensation That this feeling would have caused in your body and just realize that this is not an easy process This process takes Patience and kindness with yourself. So Just Relax into the process Yourself your thoughts you are simply the awareness of your thoughts It's the first-hand experience of the present moment Without judgment. Is there a texture or colors you had attached To your emotion to your feeling Where ever that was in your body See if you can visualize quality slowly dissolving Releasing as you're coming To the end on this and composure. This is a process requires kindness with yourself and patience in ourselves for the uncomfortable Feelings and thoughts that arise inevitably Exist within us Without letting them control us notice the sounds in the room Or any other sensations one's still with me. Can you guys still hear me? Okay? Well, that's You guys anyone you have any questions About this That's really good. I see Okay, yeah, I think visualization is is very powerful is and and That's a really really great tool You know the and developing this understanding that Uncomfortable feelings are par for the course with trading There's I don't I don't know that even the most experienced traders Don't have those feelings from time to time. I just think they have Probably developed strategies to deal with them. So for us newbies, you know we're sort of still in the process of Figuring that stuff out and I think coming to the realization that these feelings Don't just go away. They will always be there. So Strategies are necessary. It's just like For example a performance artist somebody who has to go on stage You know, I think that most people who Do that kind of a thing are on stage on a daily basis We'll tell you that they still have stage fright and that it never goes away But they figure out how to deal with it and I think it's very similar in trading that those feelings Whatever they may be Different for different people will never go away Is it's just how you let them affect you and how you deal with them that becomes different over time? I'm glad you enjoyed that. Is Steve still with us? Yep, I would agree 100% You know, we use the analogy all the time, but you know, it's it's like a muscle, right? Just because you lift weights and you get strong doesn't mean that lifting heavy weights is ever easy But it you know That can happen Anyways, that's um That's all I got for you guys today. If you don't oh, yeah, okay. Can you hear me? He can hear me. I can't hear him. I don't know why hmm Okay, anyway, well, that's great Okay, I don't know what what happened with the sound but I I I can see your response there Okay All right. Take care everybody. All I got for you guys today All right, sounds good. Thanks Bianca This will come up with a new within with the next date and let everybody know All right. Take care everybody. Cheers
