Now we are going to take a look at mindful immersion.
The intention of this exercise is to cultivate contentment in the moments and escape the persistent
striving we find ourselves caught hopping on a daily basis.
So rather than anxiously wants to finish an everyday routine task in order to get on with doing something
else.
Take that regular routine and fully experience it's like never before.
For example if you're cleaning your house.
Pay attention to every detail of the activity.
If you're going to visit the gym or go for a run really experience every aspect of it for the very first
time.
So rather than treat this like a regular chore creates an entirely new experience by noticing every
aspect of your actions so if you chose to clean the house mindfully feel and become the motion when
sweeping the floor since the muscles you use when scrubbing the dishes develop a more efficient way
of wiping the windows clean.
If you chose to visit the gym or go for a run feel your body entirely as you carry out the exercise.
Notice which muscles are being used.
Now the idea is to get creative and discover new experiences within a familiar routine task.
So instead of laboring through and constantly thinking about finishing the task become aware of every
step and fully immerse yourself in the process.
Take the activity beyond a routine by aligning yourself with it physically mentally and spiritually.
The idea is that we can then transfer this idea of mindful immersion in to mindful trading which brings
me nicely on to the next exercise.
The purpose of the previous exercise is what's a completes the stepping stones in order to move on with
developing the mindsets of a mindful trader.
Now when you come to place your next trade I would like you to follow these easy steps.
First of all I would like you to complete the mindful breathing exercise that we did earlier for just
one minute before even looking at a single chart or even switching on your computer.
Then you can go through your charts or follow your usual trading process as normal but with 100 percent
focus.
If you get distracted and your thoughts wander simply return back to what you are doing.
If you suddenly think of something you have forgotten to do or must remember to do later then simply
make a note of it and bring your attention back to your trading.
Try not to let your mind wander if this does happen.
Simply return back to the present moments each time this happens.
When you have spotted a trade you will place place the trade mindfully.
