Trading on Target: How to Cultivate a Winner's State of Mind

FOCUS

Focus creates states of mind. Where you focus your attention day and night will have an impact on who and what you attract. You should always focus by:

• Avoiding negative self-talk: Repetition of the current stories that concern you in the present and negative stories of the past create stress. A winner’s mind focuses mostly on the moment of now.
• Making a plan for life, your trading, and each day: This gives your neurological system a map to guide you to your destination and seeks out possibilities to make your way easier.
• Choosing your words wisely: This makes the difference between how you react to people and how they react to you. Words have power. How you speak about yourself and others says a lot about where your focus is and the outcome you will attract in life. Everyone has qualities that people can find fault with; winners focus on the good qualities and value positive interaction with others.
• Attracting lucky situations: This is what winners do on a regular basis while living their lives. What makes winners lucky are the choices they make, the people they associate with, the way they spend their time, and all of the other strategies, skills, and personal qualities that I have outlined in this chapter.
