07709 Return RateExerting force leads to error; true control stems from respecting one's internal rhythm, not from external force. Whether in the arena of competition or the game of life, overexertion disrupts the natural state, while relaxed focus and flexible adaptation can unleash potential and achieve transcendence.
Tomorrow afternoon's class 🎾
Watching before practice 👀 makes the class feel better
Getting up early tomorrow
If I feel like it, I'll continue reading a few dozen pages
Will update continuously if I have time 🧏🏻♀️
Rarely look at various stocks/news etc. on weekends
Because I really can't think of a way to execute directly
And of course, making money is for a better life
"In a market full of volatility
The most important thing to learn is not how to predict tomorrow
But how to build an invisible barrier for your mindset amidst uncertainty."
That's why my account has a lot of psychology/motivational stuff 🤔
Basically, 70% of my medium-term positions don't need to be moved 😂
My mindset for short-term trading isn't well-cultivated yet
Can't develop a good win rate, better to move less 👌🏻
The true core strength of trading
Is not blind fighting
But the wisdom of going with the flow
"Going with the flow" isn't just about teaching people to drift along.
When your understanding improves, your investment outlook and social circles naturally change
The people and circles you interact with
Will shift from selling anxiety and scheming against each other
To empowering one another and achieving things together.
Conversations are about how to implement strategies
And achieve long-term asset win-win situations
Less trivial gossip and meaningless complaints
I've also really tried to add as much value and improve myself as possible 🥳
Expressing both rationality and emotion together
Sleep time, sleep time 🥳
Tenacious vitality
Grow together
Read extensively 📖📚
Travel ten thousand miles
Meet countless people
Slowly gaining insight
Tennis and investing in stocks is an inner game.
Updated learnings that can be referenced:
1. Images are better than words, demonstrations are better than explanations, too much instruction is worse than no instruction, and overexertion often yields negative results. One question puzzles me: What's wrong with effort? What does overexertion really mean?
(Cases, analogies, images, and metaphors are more vivid and relatable because they appeal to feeling rather than rational logic. Good teachers/parents, lead by example > preach.)
2. This "hot hand" state usually continues until the player starts thinking and tries to maintain it; the moment they attempt to exert control, they lose that state.
(Let the "true self" lead the body to learn naturally. When the "small self" starts trying to control, the state collapses upon observation. Immerse yourself, be water.)
3. If, while learning tennis, you begin learning how to focus and how to trust yourself, you'll gain something more valuable than how to hit a powerful backhand.
(Learning how to build confidence in unfamiliar fields, not judging your ability based on outcomes.)
4. What do we really mean when we say someone is overexerting? Is a moderate level of effort the best?
(The core of overexertion is the fear of not doing well, not the desire to do the task well. It's not about mind-body unity or focus.)
5. The key to improving your tennis level—or your level at anything—lies in improving the relationship between Self 1's conscious commands and Self 2's natural abilities. (One self is the mind, another is the heart-mind, and another is the gut-mind. The mind gives orders, the heart-mind empathizes and integrates, the gut bravely executes. Mind-body unity, focus, and dedicated execution.)
6. The truth is that Self 2, possessing the unconscious mind and nervous system, hears everything, never forgets anything, and is not at all dumb. After executing a solid stroke, it will forever know which muscles to contract to achieve the same effect again. That's its nature.
(Sometimes my mind can't control my body to perform actions. Dancing/stock trading teaches you to go with the flow and let go of ego. Relaxed focus means trusting the power of self-action and abandoning self-judgment.)
8. Self 1 doesn't trust Self 2, even though Self 2 has already performed to the full potential of the player up to that point and is far more capable than Self 1 of controlling the entire muscular system. (Self 1 is that negative self-talk, the negative self-negation. Now, being more intentional about it helps a bit.)
9. "You idiot, you'll never learn a backhand," Self 1 complains. Due to overthinking and overexertion, Self 1 creates tension and muscular conflict within the body. It is responsible for the mistakes, but it blames Self 2 entirely.
Thinking too much, doing too little. In Daoist terms, the human spirit is divided into the original spirit (yuanshen) and the conscious spirit (shishen). The conscious spirit is the rational brain, the original spirit is our true, natural state. Sometimes it wants the conscious spirit to step back further, letting the original spirit play its role, emphasizing our own feelings and emotions. In modern life, many people repress themselves, using rationality to suppress their own feelings. Many words are insincere; internally, they are actually divided. People with heavy self-repression will relate deeply to this. 🧏🏻♀️
