Resources for Improving Mental Resilience and Discipline?

If you knew me, you'd know I'm a very disciplined person. And because that level discipline didn't help me with trade execution, I became a big proponent of REDUCING THE NEED for discipline by addressing psychological restraints as a key strategy to trading success.

That being said, I'd like to offer a blog post from my personal journal
https://jeffhronchek.wixsite.com/aitc/post/insecurities-the-psychological-influences-of-day-trading

I hope you find it useful.
So the question is why can't a very discipline person execute a trade?
How much disccipline does it take to follow your own well thought out plan?
Do you have your plan written out?
 
All that is wrapped up in being disciplined to your method or edge.

Nothing complicated. Looking outside yourself is .... looking for excuses.

Operating in an uncertain environment is counter intuitive to how the human brain is wired

Even though life is fraught with uncertainty - most choose not to accept it (brain is really efficient at making connection where none actually exist to make the "appearance" of certainty)

The mkt - uncertainty is staring one dead nuts in the face and there is no denying / ignoring it



Work slowly and desensitize..., work slowly and come to understand where your control truly lies..., embrace what will happen if you're not disciplined..., embrace this shit is not personal..., it simply business

A losing trade - does not make you a loser..., any more than a winning trade - makes you a winner

They simply make you a trader

The only obstacle to your trading success is your own mind.

Try self-hypnosis.
Works very well if you're determined and stick with it.

The material I used was from Dr John Cappas.
If Dr Cappas does not resonate with you, I'm sure
you can find other sources for hypnosis online.

Cold Showers/Plunges.. anything that requires a "just do it" attitude of starting/following a routine/ruleset and not procrastinating.

Harvest that dopamine, moment-by-moment.
