Dexterity: Endurance: Vitality: Intelligence: Charisma: Energy: Strength: Overview: In order to become inherently aware of the negative self talk you do daily you’ll need to acknowl- edge when its happening, and then go back and challenge those thoughts with positive ones. Instead of saying, “Wow I’m the worst trader, or why did I get into that trade,” you could say “_____ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____.” This is where you’ll need to figure out what you’re going to say to yourself. By doing this and practicing positive self talk you’re going to start reshaping your mind. Building this skill can break the habit of negative self talk and self sabotage. Your assignment for this week is to acknowledge the negative self talk that occurred, identify the trigger, and then challenge it with positive self talk.
