Since my first set of positive thinking affirmations were well received, I’ve put together a much longer (10 minute) MP3 that touches on a wide variety of trading areas. Maybe you need them maybe you don’t. But to those that do or those that are looking to raise their game, you should find some good nuggets of wisdom.
Obviously it’s thought processes that I believe are important and found to keep my own mind straight. To use them correctly for the greatest effect, repeat the phrases out loud. The more frequent the better. This ingrains them into your thought processes and neural pathways. You can also listen while sleeping for some kind of subliminal reprogramming. The point is to break bad habits if you’ve got them or just set you on the right track to start with. Since it's long and I did it in one take, I made a few verbal stumbles during recording.
Here is the link to download the free (yes, free) MP3 www.badongo.com/audio/17204955
The affirmations are listed below so you can follow what you are listening to.

Thanks. Heard your mp3 audio file for the first time. Very clear and soothing.
Thanks for posting it.
thanks for the new download. i listen to the other mp3 on the way to the office, about a 15 min drive. it really helps me get focused for the day ahead. the affirmations take away the second guessing that i have in my head. they help me stick to the plan, take a loss, and open my eyes to see the big picture. for me,one of the simplest yet profound comment you made was green bars means rising, red bars means falling. i remember going into my office the one day, turning on the computer and seeing some stock starting to print red bars, and there was no second guessing (because of the affirmations), no hesitation, just went for it, put my stop in, and the trade worked. there was no need for "its making a cup and handle, or breaking out of bull flag". i just played the probabilities, had my stop, no fear, no indicators, just the flow of the stock. so for that, thank you!
glad to hear you're getting some use out of them.
the simple way is the better way.
