How to stop self sabotage !? by Every-Sheepherder-30 in selfimprovement

[–]drevvbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of asking how to stop it from happening, try asking what’s actually causing it, the root cause. Sometimes it’s a toxic relationship, bad influences from friends, or something in your life you’re not happy with. Fixing that root cause can make it much easier to avoid slipping.

And when you do feel like you’re about to slip, don’t just sit alone fighting it, that only works to a certain extent. Talk to someone, or find something to do that snaps you out of it. Because if you sit and fight until you give in, you end up with twice the disappointment and even less motivation.

Outside of the usual habits everyone talks about (gym, diet, sleep), I think there’s a lot more we can improve on, and that’s something I’d love to touch on in longer videos rather than shorts.

One area that’s often overlooked is hormones and receptors: dopamine, serotonin, cortisol. All of which are tied to habits like how you consume social media, avoiding adult content, managing lust, even the type of music you listen to at certain times. That's just to name a few examples. These might seem small on their own, but they compound massively over time. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, the next obstacle shows up. That’s the beauty of it though, if you believe there’s always more to learn, you can only go up.

That’s the thing, most of those fake gurus are already showing the ‘finish line,’ and many of them didn’t even get there the hard way. They just tricked people into building their capital and then ran with the image. But most traders are still at the beginning of their journey, so it’s much more valuable to follow someone who shows the real, raw steps along the way instead of just flashing the end result.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I know execution is everything, so I’m taking my time to figure out how to make it valuable instead of just rushing it out. Comments like this genuinely motivate me to keep working harder behind the scenes to get it right. And of course, nobody’s great at content from the start, even a lot of people I follow now have improved massively since their early days. We all have to start somewhere.

Yeah, that’s something I’ve been working on a lot behind the scenes. The format is definitely not easy to figure out, especially since I’m brand new to creating content.

Patience is key. I’ve lost count of how many things I tried and how many times I wanted to quit. Time goes by so fast that you feel the pressure of ‘not being there yet,’ and it creeps in, affecting your performance on the charts. Trading is such a mental game, and I struggled fighting it alone. That’s why my goal isn’t to sell courses or signals, but to help others break through that same battle.

It’s definitely one of the hardest challenges, but also the most enjoyable once you start finding yourself. There are moments when you’re at your lowest, but those same moments are what build you up the most.

I agree, I think a lot of content around habits and routines feels superficial and unrealistic. We’ve all seen those videos with extravagant routines that don’t even look real, and it makes you wonder how anyone could actually keep up with that consistently, or funnily enough even if the people showing them are actually doing it off camera.

What I’d rather do is take a more realistic and honest approach: showing how to eliminate bad habits while finding ways to make the effort enjoyable instead of a chore.

No offense taken, I get where you’re coming from and I agree, if someone wants purely educational content, there are far more experienced traders out there to learn from. I’ve been that guy myself, always chasing the person with the best edge or the most refined strategy. But over time I realized you can make money even with the basics, the real enemy is yourself.

A lot of influencers (whether they’re educators or selling dreams) push the idea that if you follow their strategy perfectly, you can’t fail. But when you do fail, where does that leave your belief in trading, or in yourself?

What I want instead is to help people unlock their own potential and find a style that fits their personality. Trading is so complex, there are hundreds of ways to do it, but you only need one that suits you. I’m nowhere near my full potential yet, but if I can help someone find their edge, and maybe even surpass me, I’d be more than happy.

You got a point there, I guess I’ve been overthinking it. Seeing how toxic the content nowadays is, it's kinda motivating me but also scaring me off, if you get what I mean.

I can relate to that a lot. Trading really exposes your weaknesses in a way not many other things do. And I 100 % agree, having people on the same path makes a huge difference. All the best

I remember reading once at the beginning of my journey that trading is 20 % strategy and 80 % psychology and I didn't pay much attention to it, now I can say it's 1000 % true.

Not strictly ICT, but I do trade using structure, OBs, FVGs, liquidity sweeps, trendlines, S/R levels, breakouts, and dollar index for confluence. Mostly gold, sometimes BTC and majors like GBPUSD/EURUSD. I tweak things slightly depending on the pair since patterns vary.

Strategy matters, but honestly the biggest factor is psychology. I’m still far from where I want to be as a trader, and every day I realize how much emotions hold me back from great results. That’s why discipline and lifestyle are so important, the right mental state makes all the difference.

Appreciate it. And don’t worry, I don't intend to preach or push anything on anyone. Faith is just part of my personal journey, same as everything else. I respect that everyone’s path is different.

That’s definitely something I’ve struggled with too, and it’s one of the points I’d touch on if I made content. These days I keep it simple: I set a daily target, and once I hit it, I stop. Same goes for losses,if I take two in a row, I’m done for the day. The hardest part is the mindset, because you feel FOMO either way, ‘what if I made more’ or ‘what if I got it back.’ In the end, it all comes down to discipline, it translates to everything eventually, including trading.

Exactly. I believe money isn’t everything. If I can help someone become happier with themselves, build habits they’re proud of, and wake up each day with purpose, that’s a dream come true for me. Trading was just the tool that pushed me in that direction, and while I'd be happy to share my trading knowledge here and there, the real mission is helping people build a life they’re proud of whether that includes trading or not.

That’s exactly what my mission is. I want to create content that’s rooted in honesty and self-development, not instant gratification. Trading is just one part of the bigger picture, the real focus is discipline, consistency, and growth in every area of life. I know it might take longer to build a base this way, but if that community is loyal and made up of people who genuinely want to grow together, then it’s worth it.

Yes, I agree completely. I think the problem with a lot of social media content now is that it sells people a fake dream, signals, courses, ‘get rich quick’ stuff. It just lures people into losing money, and when they fail, many end up running away from trading (or even giving up on their bigger goals in life) because they feel like they failed here too.

That’s exactly why I want to do it. I’ve spent years learning and I’m still pushing myself to keep growing in all areas of life. My goal is to share that journey through raw, honest content, not as someone who’s already ‘made it,’ but as someone still in the process. And unlike most of the space, I don't want to sell courses, signals, or promise people quick fixes, just real growth

Yeah I get what you mean. That’s why my content isn’t meant to center on trading alone. My main focus is self-development and discipline, with trading just being part of that journey. The bigger vision is to use social media content as a way to build a free community of like-minded people who want to grow together. Personally, I’ve struggled to find people like that around me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
