Our mental processes affect the way we live and work more than we think. Trading is not an exception - the emotional instability of a trader may lead to unexpected losses even more than market fluctuations.

Step 1: It's time to accept your emotions.

You have the right to have and express your feelings and emotions. All of them. There are no bad or good emotions. All you have to do is accept them. Designate and name them. Don't blame yourself for what you are feeling; it’s absolutely normal, and the agreement between you and your emotions is the first step toward emotional harmony and comfort.

Step 2: You have the right to private time and space.

This is a very important thing, especially when you live with your family. It is important to negotiate with loved ones and outline their personal boundaries. "Now mom wants to be alone in the room for 30 minutes." Or "I’m working now, so please don’t disturb me."

The opportunity to go out alone and walk alone also creates an island of calm in our turbulent world. Find out what exactly gives you peace and harmony. Maybe it's jogging, yoga, drawing, or even soap carving. Understand what brings you inspiration and balance, and feel free to do that.

Step 3: Start treating yourself like your child.

It may sound weird, but it's very important! Love for oneself is a very abstract concept. Most people are sure that they love themselves, but in fact it appears not to be absolutely true. We suggest cultivating love for yourself by paying attention to your inner child.

Ask yourself, "How can I take care of myself?" Buy yourself the best thing that you have long dreamed of, hold and cherish yourself, as if you are your child. It is no coincidence that we talk about children in this article - most women with the appearance of a child switch their focus to it, often forgetting about themselves.

Step 4: Stop chasing the ideal.

The constant desire for ideality is another reason that leads to neurosis and discontent. This is always about tension, the desire to have time for everything and everyone will like it.

Let yourself just be yourself. Learn to "score" on the fact that you can "score." Forget all "women must" or "men must" do this or that. Everyone has the right to be who they are and none of us owes anything to anyone.

Step 5: It's time to learn to say NO. Start defending your boundaries!

Before agreeing to anything, think - do you really want it? Or do you just not want to offend a person by refusing? Often we ourselves do not notice this and violate other people's personal boundaries and allow us to violate our own. But, again, we are all free people. No one obliges us to anything.

And it often happens that when saying "no" to others you say "yes" to yourself. Therefore, keep pausing before answering, and act from the state of internal response: do I really want this?

When we begin to say no, we release a lot of tension. When we defend our personal boundaries, we become holistic.
