Transcript

Thank you for joining me for this short meditation designed for the beginning of the trading day or any time you need to readjust your mental state and place you in a professional mindset to trade.

Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed.

Sitting upright with your neck long and relaxed,

Allowing all the muscles in your face to relax,

Relaxing the muscles around your eyes.

Just take a moment to release any tension in the body.

Take a deep breath in,

Holding at the top and breathing out slowly and completely.

And again breathing in through the nose.

Release.

Holding at the top and breathing out slowly and completely.

Now allow your breath to normalise in through the nose and out through the nose.

And follow the breath.

Sense the cooler air flowing in through your nostrils and the warmer air leaving.

Allow your thoughts to come and go,

There is no judgement,

No control,

This time is for you,

You don't need to be anywhere else.

Continue to breathe in through the nose,

Out through the nose.

When thoughts arise,

Allow them to be,

Accept them,

Don't try to control or change or figure them out.

Just allow them to be and bring your attention back to the breath.

I will be silent for a moment to allow you to bring your attention to your breath,

But I'm here holding time and space.

Now breathing in deeply and completely,

Holding at the top and breathing out slowly and completely.

Now repeat after me.

I trade probabilities,

Not certainties.

When I see a qualifying setup,

I act.

I do not overthink or second guess what I see.

I accept fear,

Fear has no place behind the wheel.

I let go of expectation and attachment to any outcome.

And take one final deep breath in through your nose,

At the top breathe in just a little bit more,

Completely filling your lungs,

Holding and breathe out slowly and completely through the mouth.

You are ready,

You are prepared,

Now step into the market with calm,

Focused awareness.

Have a great day.
