Mental Reboot for Traders: Reset Your Mind When You’re Burnt Out
What to do when trading feels like a grind and nothing’s working.
Hope you had a good weekend… ready for another round of Twitter feuds and market madness? 
Ok, let’s get real for a sec…
Sometimes trading just feels like a grind.
Performance isn’t where you want it to be.
You’re tweaking your strategy, execution, and mindset… again.
You push. You hustle.
Then one slip… and boom, back to square one.
And yeah, it gets to you.
You’re human… that’s normal.
That little voice creeps in:
“Why are you bothering? Maybe this just isn’t working…”
When that happens, you need a switch.
Something to snap you out of the mood and get back in the game.

Old-school motivational speaker. No nonsense. Just pure fuel.
Now, don’t get me wrong…
I’m not into chanting “I’m a successful trader” in the mirror, ignoring the work and hoping that does the trick…
But sometimes, you just need a jolt.

Something to flip the mental switch from stuck to let’s keep moving.
And Les delivers.
This compilation video is one I keep in my back pocket for days like that.
Here’s one of my favourite lines:
“You must be willing to do the things today others don’t do, in order to have the things tomorrow others won’t have.”
Save it.
Play some of it when trading feels like a mountain.
It’ll help you find your footing again.
