What do you do to avoid burnout? Right now, I'm feeling totally burnt out on the markets. I'm trying to figure out if it's just because I've been learning so much about Market Profile and other things that I just need to rest and let it sink in...or if it's 'cause the markets have been crap this whole week and sitting and staring at the same quote flash across my screen is wearing me thin.

Anyone else feeling like this lately? And, if you ever have felt burnt out on the markets, what do you do to come at it with a fresh eye again? Do you go out to a concert? Do you garden? I'm all ears

Sit in a quiet place and just meditate, be thankful for your health, your loved ones, and the opportunity to be burned out.

Maybe take some extra time during lunch hour trading to do something you like. Taking time away from trading can be missed opportunity for profit, but it can leave you refreshed

Take a long walk.

This is just what I do when I get worn, although it doesn't happen often now that I implement the above when I can.
