Another great read. I really love those three rules for balance. The structure and naming convention of the rules promotes intention and consistency. I currently perform the three rules in various ways, but I just never considered them the way you presented them. Thanks for the reflection and improvement to my routine.

Thank you Vertina! I had never considered this rule for a long time neither until I read the concept of inward and outward information flow and then I added this extra dimension of pause - which I think it's truly crucial. I realized that this 3 domains make for a balance life. Keep reading ;)

Great post! This might actually be my favorite one so far it covered so much stuff. Can relate because when growing up my intelligence was praised and encouraged more than my effort. Think it related to the hard time I had later. Can learn a lot from those examples of traders. Yeah those three areas are important to balance. Mindfulness does help a lot. Would share this on Twitter if I still had it

Thank you Joe! It's very good to know this was your favorite one so far. The way we're praised as child has a significant impact on our self-image. The study also says that children praised by intelligence tend to choose easier tasks so they can get that praise again more easily. It's crazy how this shapes our choices. Good that you're aware of this, that way you can counter it which I know you're doing!

Thank you Ben. It does relate to everything we do. We often bring all our biases/bad habits and patterns with us to trading and they manifest one way or another

I don't consume a lot of youtube content so I'm not the best person to recommend you channels. If I know of a particular good one I'll let you know.
