Chapter 10- The Impacts of Beliefs on Trading
w- everyone has a sense of self evaluation. The easiest way to describe this sense is to list every active belief, both conscious and subconscious, that has potential to argue either for or against accumulating or achieving greater and greater levels of success and prosperity. Then match the energy from the positively charged beliefs against the energy from the negatively charged beliefs. If you have more positively charged energy arguing for success and prosperity than negatively charged energy arguing against them, you have a positive sense of self evaluation. The dynamics of how these beliefs interact with one another is not nearly so simple as I’m making it sound. It could be so complex that it could take years of sophisticated mental work to organize and sort out.
A - Mark is giving us a way to figure out our beliefs and figure out if we have more positively or negatively charged beliefs.
A - I picked this part of the book bc I’m going to put it into practice this week. I love all he says, but once I get all my beliefs on paper; he leaves much to be desired about how he recommends changing these beliefs. I’ve done webinars on this and learned about it so I know some skills I’ll apply & May reach out to Ed & Dr Reid. I’ll share with this group and some of it (stuff that’s not too personal) in the chat room in hopes others can implement a similar process for theirselves. Mark notes we all have negative beliefs so we shouldn’t feel bad, but we should investigate and handle (IMO).
