We chase action. But sometimes, the smartest step is the one where you stop - and breathe.
A powerful reminder we all need.
Thank you for putting this out there.
Thank you for the kind words! 💚
I’m really glad the piece was helpful.
Reminded me of the tip my trader acquaintance gave.
Sometimes, the best decision is to not enter the market.
Oh yes, that’s wise advice.
I know that feeling - when you’ve spent so much time studying the charts and metrics, but no clear entry shows up.
And still, you’re tempted to jump in, afraid of missing out or feeling like all that time will be wasted if you don’t act.
The concept of opportunity loss is often more dangerous than the actual opportunities lost.
So true! It’s a shame we often have to learn these truths through our own experience, rather than simply trusting the wisdom in the words.
what if I’ve hit that “squeezed-out lemon” stage where there’s just no more juice left to keep moving at the same pace?
This is so agreeable.
Yes we are all in a rat race where we have to keep proving all time .
So it is necessary to take a stop ✋🏻 or pause at some time 😌
Exactly - pauses are so important. If we don’t stop, we end up squeezing out the peel - and that’s a different taste, and a kind of effort that’s much harder to recover from 😞
Rest is necessary and is a reward, we need time to fill our cup.
Such an important truth, Belle! 🙏🏻
The real challenge is simply starting to live it.
This is such an important message and very timely. You can’t be “on” all the time.
I appreciate you saying that, Wes!
It’s something I keep learning over and over myself - we’re not meant to run non-stop.
Glad this landed at the right moment.
