As traders, we often focus on taking action and making progress towards our goals. However, it's important to remember that taking breaks is just as crucial to our success. Over the weekend, I fell ill and was unable to do much in terms of trade review and preparation. While it was frustrating to be sidelined, it also served as a reminder of the importance of taking care of ourselves and giving our bodies and minds the rest they need.
When I returned to my trading platform, I took a few trades simply to start the timer on my new funded accounts. While these trades didn't necessarily represent the best opportunities or yield the greatest profits, they were necessary in order to start the timer towards my 1st payouts on these accounts.
Moving forward, I plan to focus on backing my trades with sound analysis and strategy, rather than just taking action for the sake of meeting requirements. And, most importantly, I will prioritize taking breaks and giving myself the time and space to recharge.Remember, trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Taking breaks and prioritizing self-care is key to maintaining the discipline and focus needed to succeed in the long run.
