Spend around 10–30 minutes a day visualizing a version of yourself that you are deliberately trying to build. Do it when your mind is already calm, especially in the evening or just before sleep, because the mind accepts imagery more easily when it is not being pulled in different directions.
The basic idea is simple. The brain treats repeated internal experience as something important. When a certain kind of situation is lived again and again in imagination, with enough detail and emotional weight, it starts to lose its “imagined” quality and becomes something your mind recognizes as familiar territory.
And what becomes familiar stops feeling impossible.
Old patterns weaken in this process not because you fight them directly, but because you stop feeding them the same mental rehearsal. At the same time, new patterns begin to stabilize because they are being repeatedly experienced internally before they ever exist externally.
Start by settling your body. Slow breathing. Less tension in the face, shoulders, stomach. You are not trying to force anything, you are just lowering internal noise.
Then choose one specific scene. Not an abstract goal. A moment. Something you can step into mentally.
If it is health, do not think “I want to be healthy,” instead see yourself moving through a normal day with physical ease, walking without effort, breathing clearly, feeling your body light and responsive.
If it is confidence or success, see yourself in a real situation where you would normally hesitate, but now you speak without that hesitation, you are steady, direct, and things unfold without internal resistance.
If it is discipline, see yourself already inside the routine, doing the work without negotiation, as if it is simply what you do.
Always stay in first person. Through your own eyes.
What is directly in front of you. What is under your feet. The texture of the environment. The light in the space. The small details your attention would normally skip.
Then sound. The way voices actually enter the space. The rhythm of your breathing. Any background noise that belongs to that environment.
Then physical sensation. The weight of your body. Temperature on the skin. The sense of movement. The way you occupy space when you are not resisting yourself.
Emotionally, you are not trying to force excitement. You are allowing a quieter set of states to appear. Relief that things are simple. A sense of “this is already how I operate.” A quiet internal stability that does not need justification.
You are not building a fantasy. You are rehearsing familiarity.
At the end, stop adding detail and just remain in the general felt sense of it for a short moment, as if your mind has already accepted it as normal.
Let that feeling continue lightly as you move into the rest of your day.
Repeat it often enough that the scene stops feeling like something you are trying to reach, and starts feeling like something your mind already knows how to do.
Dostoevsky was right; “Every self-betrayal is a sin. Whenever you go against your nature, your body reminds you.”
If you spend enough time with anything, you start liking it, even sadness. So let’s choose people and spaces that truly elevate us. Your peace is worth it.
$BTC [update]
There has been no sign of strenght on BTC showcasing we can deliver a move up towards the range high.
We have sold off aggressively and are about to sweep the low so the range can get adapted in case of a re-accumulation schematic.
We are at HTF resistance so if I want to scalp long into HTF shorts the longs needs to be very high probability, otherwise it is not worth it and focus should be on shorts on a local move up.
This is all pre-planning, drawings are not a prediction.
This guy was locked out of ~5 BTC for 11 years.
Last ditch effort: dumped his old college computer into Claude.
Claude found the old wallet file and cracked it.
Insane.
Bryan Johnson spent $2 million a year for five years trying not to die. He's tested longevity drugs, gene therapies, plasma transfusions, stem cell injections, the works. His final list of what actually works is mostly stuff your grandma would have told you for free.
Johnson is the most measured human alive. Hundreds of blood tests, 30 doctors on staff, his own brand of olive oil. The 41 tips he just sent his "immortal nieces and nephews": sleep 8 hours, walk after meals, see a friend weekly, lift heavy things, floss.
Researchers estimate 80 to 90% of his health gains come from those free habits, not from the gene therapy he flew to Honduras for or the 100-plus daily supplements he takes. Johnson says the same thing himself.
Harvard ran a study on relationships that lasted 85 years and followed 724 men from their teens to their nineties. The result: how long you live depends more on the quality of your relationships than on your genes, your IQ, or your social class. A separate study of 3.4 million people found loneliness raises your risk of dying early by about the same amount as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Tip #20, see at least one friend once a week, is doing real work.
Tip #11 says walk after meals. A 2025 study found that a 10-minute walk right after eating lowers your blood sugar spike more than a 30-minute walk done any other time of day. The spike is what wears down your heart and arteries over decades.
Tip #13 is lift heavy things. A study of about 2 million people found the strongest third had a 31% lower risk of dying than the weakest. You don't need a gym for this. Carrying groceries, lifting your kid, doing pushups in your living room, it all counts.
Sleep dominates the list with about a dozen tips. The data: under 7 hours of sleep raises your risk of dying by 14%, over 9 hours raises it by 34%. Seven to eight is the sweet spot.
Johnson dropped one of his most-hyped pills, rapamycin, this year because of side effects. He keeps simplifying. Even the guy who hired 30 doctors is landing on the boring stuff.
The longevity industry is worth around $80 billion. The advice with the strongest evidence costs zero.
One of the best risk-on signals is $Copper leading & outperforming
It has just broken out of a two decade long channel/range, successfully retested it & now hitting new ATHs
It has also been outperforming $Gold too for 3 months straight
Historically, this has caused bull runs in crypto and both $BTC & $ETH did thousands of precent during those times
Why fade this? Ego?
We all know that about 90% of traders struggle to be profitable. Here’s the thing: You’ve been brainwashed via exposure to social media to think making it in our business relies solely on your ability to make money.
I believe this is the complete opposite. Most traders can make money. It is far far easier to make money than to “keep” profits. And herein lies your task.
You must separate yourself from the herd. You have to train to be extremely proficient at keeping money. This is where the skill of “trading” lies in. This is your pathway to the 1%
I would’ve been caught up in price action like this in the past. I would’ve also felt FOMO with price action like this in the past.
But most times, doing nothing when it doesn’t align with your expectations, or being quick to walk away and do nothing the moment market information does not make sense, is how you keep profits. The problem is that, to be effective at making decisions that keeps the profit, you gotta be rid of ego. Having ego as a trader comes from a lack of clarity of the nature of our business. Because you still expect to make money every week, when you have those 1-2 losses, they turn into tilts or blown account because you cannot reconcile with the fact that you’re going to have cycles of winning and losing as a trader, and what makes you thrive in this industry is your ability to work around this fact.
I’m probably just yapping lol, but I felt inspired this morning
Ibaratnya kalo lagi olahraga pertama kali ya. Badan pegel semua, ngerasa lemah padahal you’re getting stronger than before.
Di segala hal, when you’re getting better it feels like you’re getting worse. Merasa bodoh krn banyak gak tau. Perasaan bodoh dibutuhin di proses belajar.
Feels like manipulation. Shorts see this tweet and it reaffirms their expectation of lower, which just adds more directional pressure in form of resting buy-side liquidity at $107 region. Maybe we get one more sweep of $92 and then turbocharge towards $107
"you shouldnt try to trade because you will lose money"
trading is the only skill that requires zero credentials & can be completely self taught, if you believe in societal progress and human innovation then there will always be opportunities to get exposure to incredible companies
assuming that you cannot identify these opportunities because it's hard is an incredibly defeatist attitude
there will be a very clear bifurcation of society as AI models improve & become more pervasive:
• half will become even more passive consumers because the algos will get so good at creating addictive content online and targeting users with the most effective ads
• half will become much more efficient autodidacts because they will be able to learn and consume information at a much faster rate - also as more people use AI for advice with trading specifically it will create aggressive parabolas because people will get suggested very similar ideas, will be like influencer marketing on crack at 1000x speed
