uh this one's gonna be a little bit
different and a topic that not many
people enjoy talking about and not many
people do talk about
[Music]
welcome back to the channel everybody my
name's artie and this is the moving
average the week has come to an end so
you guys know what time it is let's get
in to focus fridays if you guys are
unfamiliar with the show every friday i
like to give you a little bit of
motivation and inspiration to help you
progress in your life so as the year
winds down and it starts to be the
holiday season not only do you get a
chance to recap everything that's
happened throughout the last year and
all of the global situations that are
happening
as well as your financial situation
the holiday shopping season comes into
play
and you're wondering if you have enough
money to buy presents for everybody and
the stress of being the breadwinner
comes into effect whether you're male or
female it does not matter if you're the
one that needs to financially provide
for your family
it can cause a lot of stress i can
almost guarantee that zero percent of
you that are looking into day trading or
day trading as your full-time job are
doing it because it's your hobby and
you're good at it no you're doing day
trading and you're getting into the
financial markets because you're looking
for an out you're looking for that
financial independence key word there
being looking most of you guys just like
i did do not have that financial
stability i know exactly how that feels
i know exactly how it feels
to not have enough money to cover my
expenses to wonder if i'm going to make
it long term the difference between
having financial stress
and actually having enough money like
comfortably to pay your bills
it completely changes the entire
paradigm of your entire existence i can
tell you that it is the most liberating
and weightlifting thing that has ever
happened to me being able to just
spend money on groceries and gas and
insurance and home ownership costs like
all of the things that come into effect
of being a responsible adult being able
to pay those things easily and not
actually know how much money is in your
bank account because it's enough you go
from feeling like you're being weighed
down by the entire earth
to
literally floating on a cloud is the
greatest thing that i could recommend to
anybody is having financial success and
financial independence and that's why i
do what i do on this channel i know that
so many people say that forex is a scam
or day trading is a scam because a lot
of people have lost a lot of money
and if you do it properly and you do the
techniques and methods that i show on
this channel over time you will become
proficient at it and you will generate
revenue from it freeing you up from your
financial distress in your life and
bringing that source of income that
you've been searching for for so long
but one of the things that so many
people brush over
is not the technical aspect it's not the
education
it's the psychological aspect in my
genuine honest opinion day trading is
only 10
knowledge and education
the other 90
is all a mental game being in the right
mindset
being stable in your life not having a
roller coaster of emotions on a
day-to-day basis is going to make you a
better trader if you guys journal any of
your trades and you mark down how you
were feeling on that day on your trade
journal i can guarantee you most of your
losses happened on days where you were
stressed anxious depressed just weren't
feeling right that day and it happens to
everybody myself included now i don't
really know where it stems from it could
be the climate change that poland is
non-stop clouds and rain and no sunshine
causing me to have a lack of vitamin d i
don't know what the cause is i just know
what the effect is you feel off your
game you feel unbalanced and depending
on the support structure around you
whether you have
really good motivating close friends
that you can talk to openly about any
topic and you know you have that support
team around you
or if you're like me you're in a country
on the other side of the planet from the
rest of your friends and you don't have
many people to talk to eighty percent of
my day is sitting in a room by myself
talking to you guys the issue is you
guys can't talk back to me right now and
by this point you guys pretty much know
me very very well you know that i'm
ambitious you know that i have
productivity out the wazoo and overall
i'm a high-performing individual so when
i'm not at my peak performance i go into
troubleshooting mode i'm like okay
what's going on and how can i fix it as
quickly as possible now i might be
generalizing here but i'm gonna go a
little bit gender specific so please
don't be offended by this statement but
when it comes to being a man and the
bread winner and the social norms that
are instilled upon us from above men are
to be portrayed as these
strong
ruthless
unwielding you know you don't cry you
don't get hurt you don't feel pain you
suck it up buttercup rub some dirt on it
like
that's the social norm so when a man
feels off or is going through an
emotional roller coaster in their life
they
usually internalize it and they don't
talk to anybody about it because that's
not the status quo if we have problems
we're supposed to figure it out
ourselves we're not supposed to show any
signs of weaknesses i can guarantee you
one thing
you repress
all of that stuff for years and years
and years
eventually that starts to stew
and like boil and it will come out
eventually and it will come out at the
most inopportune moment whether it's
through yelling whether it's through
breaking things or whether it's doing
something catastrophically dangerous to
your life if you're at that point i
highly suggest you call this number this
number right here is a suicide hotline i
know it's an off topic
but so many people i get you know i get
a lot of dms guys you have to understand
this a lot of people come to me
because they have no other outlet and
they trust me and i've had some people
tell me you know hey i lost a ton of
money i have a lot of instability in my
life i feel like there's no point in
going on
i want to commit suicide
and this happens so often especially
with day traders because it is a solo
job you're not working as a part of a
team you're doing this by yourself and
you have no one to reach out to so if
you're at that point please call that
number it is a international free
suicide hotline life is worth living so
please take action this is such an
intense topic that like i'm even getting
hot sitting here just talking about it
but i know that it's important and i
know that a lot of you
need to hear this like you need to know
that it's okay to talk about these types
of things you need to know that there
are people around you that are
struggling if not you yourself
struggling
everybody needs a community everybody
needs that person that they can talk to
everybody needs
a way to let out the things that are
dwelling inside of us it's not a bad
thing it is normal it is completely
normal to have emotions repressing
emotions and feelings that you have and
struggles that you have whether it's
with your day trading or with your
spouse or with your child like today's
society is so pent up on instagram and
social influencers and having this
lifestyle that feels unattainable by the
normal average human being everything on
instagram is basically fake every
picture of somebody usually has a face
filter on them and that's not actually
how they look the view out of the window
in their airplane is usually
photoshopped the sunset that they're
looking at does not look like that it's
probably gray but they replaced it with
the milky way galaxy and the sun's
setting on
saturn people on social media cherry
pick the very best moments of their life
throw a filter on it so that it looks
even better and that's the only thing
that they show the general public they
don't show them crying in the bathroom
because they're sad today they don't
show them a negative balance on their
bank account because that's not cool
that's not inspiring that doesn't get
likes so if you're like me
and you know you don't have many people
to talk to you don't have those close
friends that you can be open with about
anything i want you to first understand
that it's completely okay
i'm going through it too like it's
cloudy and rainy and i don't like it i'm
off my game i'm not at peak performance
and i'm a problem solver now i've done
therapy in the past and it's helped me
greatly get through the crappy things
that have happened in my life as you
guys learned all the crappy things in my
life through my why video so recently i
started going to therapy again and i
primarily did it not because i'm sad or
depressed but because
i need like a performance coach i'm
operating at such a high level every
single day
and when i'm not at my peak performance
i'm like whoa whoa whoa what's going on
i need some coaching i need some fine
tuning i need some tweaking i need to
let all of the things out that i'm
dwelling on so that i can reevaluate the
entire scope of everything like get an
outside perspective and be like ah
this right here is the area that i need
to be focusing on this is what's off
this is the squeaking wheel that's in my
engine i'm gonna give it the grease so
it's been about three or four weeks now
that i've been doing these therapy
sessions
and
just the simple fact of like talking out
everything that's going on in my life
and hearing myself say it
i have so many of those like aha moments
where it just clicks like because when
you're talking to yourself you're
thinking you're not like saying it out
loud the thoughts get muddled in your
mind they get very deluded and nothing
really stands out just becomes one big
blur
but when you have to articulate
something to somebody else to express
what's going on that's when you actually
hear yourself and you get that clarity
and you have your own aha moments you're
not going to therapy to get advice on
whatever the topic may be you're going
to therapy to get it out and to hear
yourself and once you hear yourself and
you get that perspective that's when you
can start the journey towards
progressing to be better to be a higher
performer to get out of that anxiety to
get out of that depression simply
speaking to somebody else
is gonna change the entire dynamic of
what's going on inside your head so this
video is not sponsored by better help
but it's the application that i've been
using to get paired with a therapist
like you fill out a questionnaire and
like all the things that are going on
and it's like a dating app where like
you get matched with somebody that like
specializes in the things that you need
so i got matched and like you know i can
text this therapist i can have a phone
call with this therapist i can get on a
video call with this therapist as many
times as i want and it's like i have
that constant you know when i'm going
through a rough hour of the day i can
just like text him and be like you know
hey this is what's going on so it's
super cool if you guys want to check
that out i've added it down there
basically my goal is to not make this a
faux pas topic i want everybody to be
open about all of the mental instability
like everybody has mental instability
like
literally everybody that i know has had
something happen in their life where
they could have used some help but
instead they internalized it don't
internalize it find your best friend and
talk to them openly about the things if
you don't have a best friend get a
therapist it's just super simple like
don't over complicate the process
whatever's going on inside your head all
it needs to do is come out and see the
light or the sunshine like all the bad
things will manifest and you'll have a
clearer picture on it and you'll be able
to fix whatever's going on in your life
making that fix resolving those issues
will put you in
game day state where you are performing
at your peak performance that's what you
need when you're day trading you need to
not have the distractions you need to
not have the stress you need to be
focused you need to be laser focused on
what you're doing and you can't do that
if you're not in the right head space so
whether it's daily meditation in the
morning or
yoga for an hour a day whether it's
going on a hike or a bike ride talking
to your best friend going to therapy
whatever you need to do to get in the
right headspace i highly suggest that
you do it because what's the alternative
it's okay
to not be at a hundred percent
not many people are on a daily basis i
know this wasn't your typical like
motivation inspiration focus friday but
it was a message that i really wanted to
get out to you guys because so many of
you write to me asking for help and i'm
just one dude i can't respond to
everybody it is a physical impossibility
at this point so i want you guys to know
it's okay to reach out to somebody it's
okay
to contact your friends it's not okay to
keep it all bottled up inside so i hope
this message reached a few of you i hope
that you really heard it and either you
or someone you know
can use you or someone you know as a
support system and just in case you
haven't seen it and all of the bad
things that happen in my life you can
find out about it in my why video right
