What this lesson covers
This lesson deals with overthinking and where it comes from. The presenter describes the period that led him to meditation, and the realisation that his anxiety was not produced by his circumstances but by the thoughts he was having about them, including the ones he had assumed were positive. Beliefs about what he needed to achieve in order to be alright turned out to be as corrosive as the openly negative ones. The application to trading is direct. A trader lost in analysis, running scenarios and second guessing a decision already made, is not being thorough, they are being pulled around by thought. The lesson covers how to recognise that state while it is happening and how to step back from it.
