What to Say When You Talk to Your Self

Most of us sit in front of the computer watching the market trying to keep our mind and body in check with the trading plan. We are all alone trying to keep a straight path. This profession is one where we each deal with our own demons alone.

This book opened up the channel of communication between our demons and the trader we want to be. Positive self-talk is what I learned to stay focus, calm and unemotional. Most people can't even hear their self-defeating talk or hear their head talk themselves out of doing the right thing at the right time. Happens all the time everyday. They can't even hear their own cry for help. This books helped me pay attention to what my mind is saying (negative or positive). If I hear negative things, I turned it around to reflect a focus thought.

This book gives you excercise to take steps to practice and eventually use it in the heat of battle. I'd recommend it to anyone who's still trying to overcome their psychological weaknesses.

Re: What to Say When You Talk to Your Self

I spent my last 12 years in sales, so this book was one of my favorites needless to say.

It's all about the chatter that goes on in our minds. It's up to us to change it, whether it is negative or positive. I still have a lot to go on mastering this, but really do recommend this book.
