Something I've found that helps
Is to never allow yourself to do 2 negatives in a row
For example
Have 1 single croissant
But never a second one
Have 1 cookie but not a second
Have 1 dessert but not a second
Oh wait these are all food examples
Ok you can get away with skipping the gym 1 day when you're supposed to go
BUT NEVER miss 2 DAYS in a row
2 In a row of most "vices" or "pleasures" is the beginning of a downward spiral of self control
If you can truly limit yourself to one single
You can actually enjoy things from time to time without losing your self control and mental strength
But as soon as you allow yourself to slip up 2x in a row, the chance for you to become controlled by your addictions or things you like
Go up insanely
And then instead of you being in control of your life
These things control you and lower your mental focus and strength
And everything becomes harder
Your chance of doing well and being in control of your life
Fall off a cliff when you allow yourself to enjoy anythings too much without paying for them
If you have the croissant
Immediately follow it up with a positive reverse action
Something as simple as 200 pushups shortly after
The 200 pushups aren't going to save you or make you in shape or make you successful
But they will help to reverse the negative slightly and keep you on a better overall trajectory with better control of yourself
Makes it harder to slip into the darkness if you follow up any negative/short term enjoyment immediately with something that you don't have to do, but you do it anyways
most people accumulate 10 actions of no self control in a row and
Eat the croissant
Drink the beer
Skip the gym
Watch a show
Go out late
And before they know it, years have passed by and they've done nothing and their willpower is zero
They racked up so much negative actions vs positives
they are in debt so badly to their soul and body
That to try and escape the hole they are in
It takes 10x more effort to reverse the negative compound interest you accumulated against yourself
And on top of that they've likely lost self awareness to even think about the hole they got themselves into in their sluggish state of racking up negatives
So must you do a negative
Fine
Immediately follow it up with a positive or 2 to not slip away

If you’ve done your job an actually positioned well
The next job or duty you have is to simply not fuck up the positions you got
Most people can’t even get into good positions
But then the people who CAN get into good positions, most are messing their future up by fucking those good positions up and not having other things to work towards in the meantime
Which makes them “work on their portfolio” or take trades they don’t need to
more money has been lost messing up or selling AMAZING positions
Than has been made by taking short term trades or being active
this dip made me realize
man we all just mostly young dudes trying to make it
even if it hasn’t happened yet
the fact you’re trying is already half way there
90% of people in our same age bracket will spend the rest of their life slaved away
simply because they wanted to party and drink their youth away
if you’re here now
especially if you survive this dip you will make it
Bullpost your favorite coins, especially when they are down. There is honor in bullposting the bottom
Say nothing about the coins you don't like. You're making the whole space look bad with this bickering and you'll never convince someone to swap for your favorite coin this way
