Maintaining A Constant

Having a periodic habit that gets you consistent in your activities, sometimes can have you so addicted that the addiction becomes a lot. Well to the outside world its a good addiction, but within you its making you lose some sense of balance in your life. The beauty of life is that it sometimes put you in a situation where failure is the only way to bring you back to realisation or rather, back to reality. Setting goals and expectations is good but having the psychological training to control your emotions when you are slacking is very important. It’s good to be disciplined, its good to be consistent but don’t beat yourself too much.

I dont know about others but when I set a goal and stay consistent on that goal, a little derail from that goal sometimes makes me feel like a failure, this is a toxic trait I have and I am trying my best to control that because this doesn’t give me the opportunity to celebrate myself or appreciate my achievements. The most frustrating part is how I undermine my achievements and feel like I don’t deserve a social life. This is a way to punish myself for less achievement, which is a not so good trait. This trait lets me stay disciplined but also isolates me. The reason I am writing this post is to remind myself that I am taking control of my life.

I trade everyday and set goals of what I want to achieve, I placed a $10 daily goal as the least i can make from trading everyday, this seemed like a great goal because it was achievable, sometimes I make more than that, sometimes I stay within that lane. But it gets liberating when I make more than, that this way when I dont make upto my daily goal, I dont feel too bad. But this last week I have been derailing from my daily goal, and it got me worried. I have not been consistent with my goal, for a second I started feeling like a failure, or feeling like I was not being serious with my consistent act. That’s the funny thing about life, when you become successful, people tag you to be a hardwoker but when you don’t see results in your work, you start feeling like a failure.

This is where I had to get some self reflective moment where I have to remind myself that I am human, I have to find a balance in my life and quit looking for perfection. The market is volatile and not predictable most times, there is no need to start feeling too bad when I don’t reach my goal. Sometimes I have to give myself a break, the crypto market is always open 24/7, this mean that you have to discipline yourself to give yourself a break. If you don’t give yourself the break, the body will give itself the break by force, so imagine trading 24/7 and not always meeting your daily goal then beating yourself up for it. That is an unhealthy trait, this motivated me to think of a way to maintain a constant, that constant is a weekly compulsory break on trading.
