Market Mechanics Ep 28: Emotional Regulation — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Carl Jung famously said, "Until you make
2. 0:02the unconscious conscious, it will
3. 0:05direct your life and you will call it
4. 0:07fate."
5. 0:08That's basically trading. If you repeat
6. 0:10the same old mistakes over and over
7. 0:12again, you repeat the same old
8. 0:14unconscious patterns over and over
9. 0:16again, you're going to get the exact
10. 0:17same results.
11. 0:19Which means that it's important that you
12. 0:21start becoming more conscious. You start
13. 0:23becoming more aware.
14. 0:25And that's what sanctuary is, right?
15. 0:27Because in trading, we all know that as
16. 0:29humans it's impossible for us to
17. 0:31eliminate our emotions. The only time
18. 0:33you don't have emotions is when you are
19. 0:355 ft under the ground.
20. 0:37They, right? Which also means that it's
21. 0:39either you are dead or you are an AI
22. 0:42robot that doesn't feel any emotions,
23. 0:43you are going to experience emotions,
24. 0:45right? That's just part of life. But
25. 0:47it's important for you to be aware of
26. 0:50those emotions and prevent them from
27. 0:53taking control over you. To prevent them
28. 0:56from clouding your judgment. To prevent
29. 0:58them from
30. 0:59causing you to make bad decisions that
31. 1:01allow you to take unnecessary losses.
32. 1:04So, I'm going to give you a secret,
33. 1:05right? This is the secret to mastering
34. 1:07your mind, mastering trading psychology.
35. 1:10And it's very simple.
36. 1:12And it's the fact that every single time
37. 1:15you feel an emotion arising within you,
38. 1:18what you want to do is to get conscious
39. 1:19of it. Be aware of the emotion.
40. 1:22And then settle the body down.
41. 1:25And the more you practice that, the less
42. 1:27control emotions have over you.
43. 1:29And the more conscious you become of
44. 1:31your unconscious patterns, the fewer
45. 1:34mistakes you repeat. Which also means
46. 1:37fewer unnecessary loss, which
47. 1:39automatically means more profits. That's
48. 1:42the secret right there. And that's what
49. 1:44we're going to be talking about this in
50. 1:45this lesson, right? It's about really
51. 1:48gaining emotional mastery. And to me,
52. 1:51emotional mastery doesn't mean
53. 1:52eliminating of emotions. It means
54. 1:54accepting the fact that you cannot
55. 1:57always control the initial reaction, but
56. 2:01you certainly
57. 2:02always can control your response. It's
58. 2:06not what happens first that matters.
59. 2:08It's what you do next. It's not the
60. 2:11situation that hurts. It's your
61. 2:13interpretation of the situation that
62. 2:15hurts. It's not the wrong trade that
63. 2:17destroys you. It's refusing to cut it
64. 2:20before it becomes a big loss that does.
65. 2:23So, that's what Sanctuary is. It exists
66. 2:24for one reason, and that is to help you
67. 2:27break the self-destructive patterns
68. 2:29fast, help you regain your mental state,
69. 2:33right? Come back to a mental equilibrium
70. 2:35so that you can trade the market for
71. 2:37what it is, not your emotions, not your
72. 2:39mental well-being. So, that your edge
73. 2:42can actually play out and you can
74. 2:43actually become profitable, right? So,
75. 2:45on Edge Flow, go to Sanctuary right
76. 2:46here, open up Sanctuary, and once you
77. 2:48open Sanctuary, you will see that, just
78. 2:50like the name suggests, it is a safe
79. 2:52place that you can go anytime to reset
80. 2:55your mental state, right? To calm down,
81. 2:57to get rid of the emotions, and just
82. 3:00prevent them from clouding your
83. 3:02judgment. So, over here, it's pretty
84. 3:05much giving you all the tools that you
85. 3:07need to calm down, to regain clarity, to
86. 3:09detach from P&L, to stop impulse
87. 3:12trading, and to just overall, you know,
88. 3:14start to like just detach from the
89. 3:17outcome of the trades itself. So, over
90. 3:19here, you can either meditate or you can
91. 3:21run quick breathing and mental reset
92. 3:24exercises to bring yourself back to
93. 3:26neutral. Okay? So, I'm just going to go
94. 3:28through like this entire feature, like
95. 3:30just just going to break it down for you
96. 3:31guys. So, the first thing you will see
97. 3:33is this meditation timer.
98. 3:35So, this is a very simple meditation
99. 3:38timer. If you have meditated before, you
100. 3:40will know exactly how this works. You
101. 3:41can pick the duration you want to
102. 3:43meditate right here.
103. 3:445 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, 30
104. 3:46minute, 1 hour. If you want to go crazy,
105. 3:48you can go even 3 hours or 5 hours,
106. 3:50right? I'm pretty sure nobody's going to
107. 3:52do that unless you're a freaking monk.
108. 3:54But anyways, this is where you can even
109. 3:55set custom duration as well, right? So,
110. 3:57this is hours, this is minutes, and this
111. 3:58is seconds. So, let's say I'm going to
112. 4:00meditate for
113. 4:02uh 3 minutes dot
114. 4:043 minutes 3 seconds, right? So, I'll put
115. 4:06that, okay? And then next is interval
116. 4:08bells, right? You can choose to have
117. 4:09interval bells if you want, right? If
118. 4:11you want, you can turn it on. If you
119. 4:12don't want, you can turn it off. Uh how
120. 4:14it works is that you will get a gentle
121. 4:16reminder every few minutes or so. Like
122. 4:19you will hear a ting sound every 1
123. 4:20minute or every three two minutes or
124. 4:22three minutes or whatever it is I select
125. 4:24right here.
126. 4:25Uh this way you don't drift off, right?
127. 4:27Or you don't get distracted, right? So,
128. 4:30yeah, if you want, you can just set it
129. 4:32on. And then next is the ambient sound,
130. 4:34right? So, ambient sound, this is where
131. 4:36you can choose a background sound while
132. 4:38you are meditating, right? So, you can
133. 4:40see there's going to be a sound that
134. 4:42appears every single time you hover
135. 4:44around each one of these ambient sound
136. 4:45just to give you a taste of like what it
137. 4:47sounds like. Gentle rain, ocean wave,
138. 4:50forest ambience, fireplace, white noise.
139. 4:53If you don't want any sound and you want
140. 4:54to meditate in silence, which is what I
141. 4:55prefer to do, you can just press none,
142. 4:58okay? And then once done, right? You can
143. 5:00just start, right? So, let's say let's
144. 5:02let's try to like just do it last one.
145. 5:03You can adjust the volume here, by the
146. 5:05way, for the ambient sound itself,
147. 5:06right? So, let's say we start.
148. 5:09Boom, now I'm meditating for 3 seconds.
149. 5:113 2 1, boom. The minute the meditation
150. 5:15is done, there's this model that pop up
151. 5:17right here that will ask you how you
152. 5:18feel, right? Just to check in how you
153. 5:19feel during the meditation itself,
154. 5:20right? So, let's say I put energized,
155. 5:22and you can leave some notes, right? So,
156. 5:24I had some intrusive thoughts.
157. 5:27Okay? Or like whatever whatever you're
158. 5:29noticing the session, you can just write
159. 5:31it here, right? Just reflect on the
160. 5:32meditation itself, and then just press
161. 5:33save and exit. And the moment you do
162. 5:35that, what happens is that we are going
163. 5:37to check off the today, right? Which is
164. 5:39the day which shows you that you have
165. 5:41meditated today, and the session note
166. 5:43that you have just put in there will be
167. 5:45reflected in here, right? So, you can
168. 5:47see
169. 5:48this is how you felt, and so on and so
170. 5:50forth. Yeah. So, this is where you can
171. 5:53view all the sessions.
172. 5:54All right. So, basically, when you
173. 5:56actually start the meditating, you will
174. 5:58hear you will hear a bell chime at the
175. 6:00start of the meditation.
176. 6:02Ding. That signals the start of the
177. 6:04meditation. And then once the timer runs
178. 6:06out, you will hear another bell at the
179. 6:07end of the meditation, right? Another
180. 6:09ding. And that signals the end of the
181. 6:11meditation.
182. 6:12And like I said, once done, you're you
183. 6:14will be able to log your emotion or any
184. 6:15notes, and it will all be saved in here.
185. 6:18Okay. Next up is intention setting,
186. 6:20right? So, if you look at this top
187. 6:21right-hand corner, this is where you can
188. 6:23set an intention for the day itself,
189. 6:25right? This is where you can set one
190. 6:26clear rule for the day. So, for example,
191. 6:29today I will journal every trade. Today,
192. 6:31I will not revenge trade. Today, I will
193. 6:33follow my trade plan. Whatever it is,
194. 6:35you just want to keep it as one simple
195. 6:37sentence, and you want to make it
196. 6:39process-oriented. You want to make it
197. 6:41behavioral. You want to make it so that
198. 6:43it's within your control, right? You
199. 6:45can't say stupid stuff like, "Today, I'm
200. 6:47going to make $5,000 from the market."
201. 6:49No, that's outside of your control,
202. 6:51right? That's an outcome-focused goal,
203. 6:53which only happens as a byproduct of you
204. 6:55following the process, right? So, you
205. 6:57need to make sure that you put like a
206. 6:58process-oriented action right here,
207. 7:00like, "Today, I follow my plan. Today, I
208. 7:03will take only A+ setups." Right? When
209. 7:06you do this, what happens is that you
210. 7:09are literally telling your subconscious
211. 7:11mind, "Okay, I'm going to be doing this
212. 7:13today." Right? So, this is my intention
213. 7:15for the day. So, today, I'm just going
214. 7:17to be focused on doing this. Once again,
215. 7:19you don't realize this, but such a
216. 7:20simple action will really like just
217. 7:22pass down the right message to your
218. 7:24subconscious mind, so you can take the
219. 7:25right action. Okay. So, there's that.
220. 7:28And then below here, you can see this is
221. 7:30your progress and streak tracker, right?
222. 7:32You can see this week how many sessions
223. 7:34you completed, how many minutes you
224. 7:36actually meditated this week, what is
225. 7:39your current streak, if you're on any
226. 7:40streak, what is your longest streak,
227. 7:42What is your total meditation minutes
228. 7:43and what is the amount of total sessions
229. 7:45that you had, right? So, once again,
230. 7:47this stats are here because uh just to
231. 7:50keep you accountable, right? Once again,
232. 7:52it's not about like being a monk and
233. 7:54just trying to stack this as much as
234. 7:56possible. Obviously, you can do those,
235. 7:58right? You can kind of gamify it, but
236. 8:00it's really just there to keep you
237. 8:01accountable. Okay, because if you can
238. 8:04stack calm reps, if you can, you know,
239. 8:06do the inner work consistently, you can
240. 8:08stack discipline reps in trading. You
241. 8:10can get consistent results in trading.
242. 8:13All right, so that's that. And then
243. 8:14below here, this is where you have the
244. 8:16mental toolkit. Okay, so this is a
245. 8:18curated set of short psychology and
246. 8:21breathing exercises
247. 8:23all grouped by purpose that were done up

321. 10:49Cool. So, that's it, right? That's the
322. 10:52entire walk through of the sanctuary
323. 10:53feature. Now, I'm going to tell you my
324. 10:56personal process, right? Because some of
325. 10:58some of you guys, you guys are
326. 10:59interested on how I'm able to like just
327. 11:02remain so calm even though I've just
328. 11:04lost five fits in a row, even though I'm
329. 11:06managing such a huge amount of money.
330. 11:08Well, this really because I have like a
331. 11:10process that really just allow me to
332. 11:12stay grounded, right? Just allow me to
333. 11:14just trade the plan and just ignore my
334. 11:16emotions. And my process is split into
335. 11:18three parts: before I trade, during I
336. 11:21trade, and after I trade. I'm just going
337. 11:23to quickly walk you through the entire
338. 11:24process right here. So, before I trade,
339. 11:27this is where I prime my mind, okay? So,
340. 11:29before you start trading, I highly
341. 11:31recommend you to do a short switch on
342. 11:33routine.
343. 11:35Right, what do I mean by switch on
344. 11:36routine? It's not some spiritual woo-woo
345. 11:38thing, you know, like you have to
346. 11:41right, just shout a bunch of
347. 11:42affirmations and me well and just pray
348. 11:44that you will succeed. No.
349. 11:46This switch on routine allows you to be
350. 11:48back in control. It around allows you to
351. 11:51prime your mind. Allows you to get into
352. 11:53the right state so that later when you
353. 11:55go into the charts, you can execute like
354. 11:57a freaking machine. All right, so for
355. 11:59this
356. 12:00very simple, before I trade, there is
357. 12:02three things that I do. Number one is to
358. 12:03reset my body. So, this is where I'll
359. 12:06come in here. I will either do like a
360. 12:07box breathing exercise just like this or
361. 12:09like a 60-second reboot if I'm running
362. 12:11out of time. Or I will do like a 5 to 10
363. 12:13minutes meditation. Okay? And while you
364. 12:16are doing this exercise or this
365. 12:18meditation, you want to make sure that
366. 12:20you focus on your breathing. Right,
367. 12:22because when you focus on your
368. 12:23breathing, what happens is that you are
369. 12:25focusing on the present moment. And when
370. 12:27you do that, you are training your mind
371. 12:29to stay grounded in the present moment,
372. 12:31which allows you to see the market for
373. 12:33what it is rather than what you think it
374. 12:34is or rather than what you think it's
375. 12:36going to do. Okay? So, when you are
376. 12:38doing this meditation, when you're doing
377. 12:40this breathing exercise, you're always
378. 12:42breathe out longer than you breathe in.
379. 12:45So, if you breathe in for four counts,
380. 12:48you want to breathe out for six counts.
381. 12:50When you do that, what you are doing is
382. 12:52that you are calming down the
383. 12:53parasympathetic system. Right, you are
384. 12:55literally telling your body, "I am safe.
385. 12:58I am secure. I am calm."
386. 13:02And what this happens is that you are
387. 13:03able to really just get into the state
388. 13:06where you're not emotional, you know,
389. 13:08you are not thinking about the past,
390. 13:09you're not thinking about the future,
391. 13:11you're just focusing on the present. And
392. 13:13this is where you are able to stop
393. 13:15reacting to the noise and really just
394. 13:17start seeing the market for what it is
395. 13:18objectively. Yeah, so I'll do that. Then
396. 13:21next step is that I'll just quickly ask
397. 13:22myself what emotion am I feeling right
398. 13:25now. What am I walking into the market
399. 13:27as? Right? So, if I'm feeling angry, if
400. 13:29I'm feeling calm, if I'm feeling
401. 13:31excited, whatever it is, I will name the
402. 13:33emotion. Remember, you're not judging
403. 13:36it. You're not judging yourself. You're
404. 13:37not judging the emotion. You're just
405. 13:39becoming conscious of it. You're just
406. 13:41becoming aware of the emotion.
407. 13:43Because if you don't name the state, if
408. 13:45you don't name the emotional state, the
409. 13:47state will control the trade.
410. 13:49It will control you. Okay? So, like I
411. 13:51said earlier, until you make the
412. 13:53unconscious conscious,
413. 13:55it will rule your life and you'll call
414. 13:56it fate. Right? So, this is what we're
415. 13:58doing. Just getting conscious.
416. 14:00And then, next thing is I would just
417. 14:02tell myself, "Okay, I'm in execution
418. 14:04mode right now. I'm not in analysis mode
419. 14:06anymore. I'm in execution mode."
420. 14:09So, by this time, my analysis will have
421. 14:12been done. I've already done my
422. 14:13preparation, my research, my analysis. I
423. 14:15know exactly why I want to enter for the
424. 14:17trade and why I want to enter at that
425. 14:18particular price point. And now it's
426. 14:20just a time of executing. Okay? So, when
427. 14:23the session starts, right so, well, my
428. 14:25job is to just wait for the setup to
429. 14:27appear, execute my trade, manage risk,
430. 14:30that's it.
431. 14:32Now, if you want to take it one step
432. 14:33even further, you can do like a mental
433. 14:35rehearsal or like a visualization. And
434. 14:38that is when you're meditating on where
435. 14:39you're doing your breathing exercise,
436. 14:41you want to visualize your process.
437. 14:44Visualize the steps of the process,
438. 14:46right? You waiting for the point of
439. 14:48interest to get mitigated, you waiting
440. 14:50for your entry trigger, and when you do
441. 14:52it present itself, you executing the
442. 14:54trade with confidence, with certainty,
443. 14:56with conviction. And then you journaling
444. 14:59the trade, and you ending trading for
445. 15:01the day. So, what you do is that, once
446. 15:03again, you are just mentally rehearsing
447. 15:05the future, right? You And the fun part
448. 15:08is that the brain cannot differentiate
449. 15:09between reality and imagination, which
450. 15:12means that whatever that happens in your
451. 15:13imagination, you will experience the
452. 15:15same emotions as though your imagination
453. 15:18is played out in reality. Right? So,
454. 15:20this is something that you can do as
455. 15:21well. Just do like a mental rehearsal of
456. 15:23the process so that later when you do go
457. 15:25to the charts you can just execute
458. 15:27exactly what you have visualized.
459. 15:30Um so you can visualize if like two
460. 15:32scenarios as well. If you win, you know
461. 15:34what you do. If you lose, what you do.
462. 15:36If you win, how you feel
463. 15:38uh and how you act. And if you lose, how
464. 15:39you will feel and how you act, right?
465. 15:40Something you can visualize as well.
466. 15:43So that's what I do before the trade.
467. 15:45Now when I am trading, sometimes I get
468. 15:48emotional, especially after a loss or
469. 15:51after a win, right? After a loss, I
470. 15:54start feeling anger. After a win, I
471. 15:56start feeling euphoric. I start feeling
472. 15:58overconfident.
473. 15:59And when this happens, this caused me to
474. 16:01make bad decisions because now once
475. 16:03again, I'm trading the men my mental
476. 16:05well-being. I'm no longer trading the
477. 16:07market and that's
478. 16:09a recipe for disaster.
479. 16:11Which means during your session, you
480. 16:13want to do some form of reboot, right?
481. 16:15Resetting your mind. Get back to a
482. 16:19mental equilibrium.
483. 16:21Okay, and you can do that by checking
484. 16:22out the reboot exercises right here,
485. 16:24right? So you can just open up reboot,
486. 16:26choose any one of these quick little
487. 16:28breathing exercise that we have given
488. 16:29you right here. And when you do those
489. 16:31exercise, once you're done, ask yourself
490. 16:34these three questions. Am I calm? Am I
491. 16:37clear? Am I following the trade plan?
492. 16:40Would I take this trade if I was already
493. 16:42up big today?
494. 16:43If the answer to any of these questions
495. 16:45is no, then you don't trade yet because
496. 16:48if the answer is no, that means you are
497. 16:50still emotional and you need to give
498. 16:51yourself more time, more space for your
499. 16:54internal state to get back into
500. 16:56equilibrium. Then you can continue
501. 16:58trading.
502. 17:00And then that's during the trade. Now
503. 17:02after I'm done trading for the day
504. 17:04itself, you know, I've made money, I've
505. 17:06lost money, whatever it is, I do this
506. 17:08exact same process. Once again, I come
507. 17:10in here and I check out either one of
508. 17:14the videos from the rewire category or
509. 17:16the recovery category.
510. 17:19Now, the reason why I do this is because
511. 17:21I really just want to detach.
512. 17:24I want to let go of my past trade
513. 17:27outcome.
514. 17:29Okay, because you must remember that in
515. 17:30trading
516. 17:32every single trade that you take
517. 17:35is
518. 17:36not attached to the past trade outcome,
519. 17:39which also means just because you lost
520. 17:40the last trade or just because you won
521. 17:42the last trade, it doesn't increase or
522. 17:44decrease the odds that you're going to
523. 17:46win or lose the next trade. It's all
524. 17:48random. Every single trade outcome is
525. 17:50random.
526. 17:51But as humans, what we tend to do is
527. 17:53that we tend to bring the past loss into
528. 17:55the future. Oh, I just lost three losses
529. 17:58in a row. This means that I'm most
530. 17:59likely going to lose the next trade. Oh,
531. 18:01I just won five trades. It means that I
532. 18:04am invincible. I'm going to win the next
533. 18:06trade for sure. But it doesn't work that
534. 18:08way because every single trade outcome
535. 18:10is random, right? It's uncertain, right?
536. 18:14You don't never ever know for sure
537. 18:15whether you can win or lose the next
538. 18:17trade. And that's what this rewire and
539. 18:19recovery exercise allowed me to do. It
540. 18:22allows me to just let go of whatever
541. 18:24that have happened today and not carry
542. 18:26the same emotions into tomorrow.
543. 18:29And this also allowed me to have a good
544. 18:31night's sleep, right? Because if not, I
545. 18:33would be thinking about oh, what I could
546. 18:34have done better, what uh what I I I
547. 18:37should do tomorrow, you know, and this
548. 18:39just ruins my sleep. Okay?
549. 18:41So, yeah. Check out any one of these
550. 18:42exercises from in the rewire and the
551. 18:44recovery exercise in the category after
552. 18:47you're done trading for the day itself.
553. 18:50Okay. So, here's a quick little cheat
554. 18:52sheet for you, right? If you feel any
555. 18:54sort of emotion, whether that's anger,
556. 18:56overconfident, anxious, fear, whatever
557. 18:58it is, whatever emotion that you feel,
558. 19:00before or while you're trading, you want
559. 19:02to check out the reboot exercises right
560. 19:05here or you want to meditate.
561. 19:07Okay?
562. 19:08If you're done trading, you know, you
563. 19:11have took your last trade, you have
564. 19:13ended your trading session, and now you
565. 19:15want to settle down. You want to, you
566. 19:16know, just chill and just calm down
567. 19:19before you end the day, check out the
568. 19:22real wire exercises or the recovery
569. 19:24exercises. And if you want, you can even
570. 19:27meditate. I personally meditate twice a
571. 19:29day, once at the start of the day and
572. 19:31another time at the end of the day. So,
573. 19:34yeah. That's just how I really manage my
574. 19:36psychology, how I stay disciplined at
575. 19:38all times, how I'm just much more calm
576. 19:41and much more happy than other people
577. 19:44out there. Okay? So, yeah, that's how it
578. 19:46works. That's how sanctuary works. I
579. 19:47built this feature because I really want
580. 19:50you to like just spend more time of an
581. 19:52on your inner game because your trading
582. 19:54results is literally a reflection of
583. 19:56you. It's literally a reflection of your
584. 19:58character, which also means that if you
585. 20:00can transcend, which is end the trends,
586. 20:04which you can ascend to a higher version
587. 20:06of yourself by doing all of these mental
588. 20:08exercises, doing all of these inner
589. 20:09work,
590. 20:10you will see the results that you
591. 20:12desire. It will reflect back at you,
592. 20:15right? Because like I said, the market
593. 20:17is a mirror.
594. 20:18Okay? So, that's it for this video
595. 20:20itself, and here's how I want you to
596. 20:21think about it, right? I don't want to
597. 20:23think of this as like a separate feature
598. 20:25of Edge Flow. I want you to think of
599. 20:27this as
600. 20:28an integral part of your trading
601. 20:30process, of your trading system.
602. 20:32The guardrails in Edge Flow stop you
603. 20:35mechanically. It's the hard wall, right?
604. 20:37It blocks you from doing dumb things
605. 20:38when you're emotional.
606. 20:40But sanctuary fixes the emotional cause.
607. 20:43Because if you're diluted, if you're
608. 20:45anxious, if you're greedy, if you're
609. 20:46angry, if you are fearful, you are
610. 20:49always going to find a way to break your
611. 20:51trading rules. You are going to override
612. 20:53your guardrails, and you are going to
613. 20:55make stupid mistakes. As As you know the
614. 20:58saying goes, you play stupid games, you
615. 21:00win stupid prizes.
616. 21:02Not because you're weak, not because you
617. 21:04are a human, but because your nervous
618. 21:07system is hijacked.
619. 21:09Okay, so if you combine gut rails with
620. 21:11sanctuary, this combo is deadly because
621. 21:14gut rails is like I can't trust myself
622. 21:16right now. But sanctuary is like Wait,
623. 21:19why am I even in this emotional state in
624. 21:21the first place?
625. 21:23You're building the awareness. You're
626. 21:25literally strengthening the conscious
627. 21:27muscle.
628. 21:28And together when you use those, you're
629. 21:30not fighting yourself every single day.
630. 21:32Now you are regulating first. You are
631. 21:35regulating your nervous system. You are
632. 21:38controlling your mind. You have mastery
633. 21:40over your emotions, and now you can
634. 21:43begin to execute your system
635. 21:44consistently like a professional. And
636. 21:47like I said if you start to think, act,
637. 21:50and feel like a professional trader,
638. 21:51your actions will be aligned with that
639. 21:54of a professional trader,
640. 21:56you will get the results of a
641. 21:57professional trader.
642. 21:59That's it. Remember, discipline isn't
643. 22:02about motivation. It's
644. 22:04regulation plus putting in the systems
645. 22:08that will allow you to make the right
646. 22:09decisions. And sanctuary brings you back
647. 22:12to neutral so your edge can actually
648. 22:14play out.
