  • Let social media Inspire You

    Let social media Inspire You

    Hi, I have never done a social tweeter response feeling thing before. So let social media inspire you is the new gig today. 

    Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

    Let social media Inspire you.

    It is interesting because I spent all day learning to get my program to auto trade-in “thinkScript.” But, in the end, I was not too fond of the result. Instead, I felt like I was at the beginning of my journey. 

    The Stock Market

    Earlier that day, in a Discord server, Analysis Trade, the owner messaged me and told me I was making it too complicated. He said I needed to create support and resistance lines and keep an eye on the indicators and trade. While all good and all, I can’t do that during work. As a programmer, it’s enough to stress deadlines, so I need another way. 

    Then I decided to learn to automate the trading on ThinkorSwim (TOS), which led me to learn so much. I had to pause for a second now. Cos, some good music went on from the Lofi channel. I’m curious whether writers in a blog post create a pause. Can I use repetition or some other writing tool? I wanted to use ellipses, but I’m sure the grammar is correct.

    While automating and getting stuck, feeling frustrated and curious, I kept telling myself that I learned a lot and I’m competing against Ph.D.’s and day traders, so take it easy, Vye. So yeah, social media inspired me to write. However, not giving up yet! Not an excuse to spend watching Netflix shows. A tiny reset lunch over a movie or something. Then get back into it again. 

    What keeps me going? 

    I was asking myself that question when I filled out my feelings chart. Cos most people give up on complicated things. For me, it’s the creative outlet of many ways to make money from the market. I know that I would like to own a condo or something small. However, I better be careful cos it will cost me my mental health. Therefore, I remind myself of boundaries. 

    Is a reminder enough?

    It’s funny that I want to make a boundary because it doesn’t get followed. I must respect my timeslot for trading and studying the market to work genuinely. Today, I had off, but I set myself up for early morning market and tea on other days. So, it’s only 1-hour time slot stretched out for a few days. Therefore, if I do it in an open-minded objective way, I will succeed where others won’t.

    I had the schedule set up last week, but a lot of the stock market jigger creeps into my breaks during my work because of my excitement, which adds an insane level of stress. Therefore, I need an accountability partner here to get me on track. However, I will try to keep myself from doing that and stick to my schedule. One hour isn’t much, but compounded, it will mean something.

    On the bright side, I will get a chance to absorb the material and get inspired by outside sources. 

    Break! Then back to social media inspires us.

    Oh man, I got a call today from my boss that work from home got extended, so I had to pause writing. I had positioned myself for 25 minutes of free stream writing. So, for the moment, I have about 7 minutes left, and I get to get myself back into the swing of things. 

    Going back to the Tweet, studying all day and learning is tedious, but when money is involved, it’s okay? I took a loss from selling my stocks in December. Then I sold a put and got a significant amount back at the cost of my mental health. That is why I’m trying to gain knowledge and the confidence to trade appropriately. 

    Risk is a serious thing. 

    When I first started trading, I convinced myself that 50 shares of Baba or 50 shares of gold stock would be okay because a YouTuber recommended it. However, I didn’t know I needed to trade 25% times 1-2% of my account value to maintain proper risk levels. In doing so, I will be less prone to be jerked around. Also, placing crazy lotto plays isn’t the answer either. 

    Well, I’m nearing the end of today’s writing workout, so learning is good, but balance is better. So, because of my mental importance and positive objective attitude towards getting my inner self healed, I know I will find a way to succeed in many different levels of my life. 

    If social media inspired you in some way, let me know in the comments.

    Be well.

  • The Space to Write

    The Space to Write

    Hi, I am writing on my bamboo standing desk and channeling the space to write. It is facing the wall, and to the left of me, I have a secondary monitor on a moving arm. Further left, I have a view of the canal. The best part about that is I can rest my eyes and look beyond my computer screen.  

    Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

    The Space to Write

    I’m using a computer desktop with wireless Bluetooth peripherals. I wouldn’t say I like wire noise, and I try to keep things at a minimum to reduce the distraction. It keeps me mindful and encourages clarity. In return, I can keep writing distraction-free. 

    Today, I set up a 25-minute goal of free stream writing. At the top of the half-hour goal, I feel I’m out of ideas, so I’m scanning my table for anything that speaks to me. I noticed that I kept my colors similar. Electronics are black, and skirts and placemats are blue. I am further supporting consistency to reduce distraction. 

    The goal is to have a space for writing, not for anything and everything. For example, if I notice something grabbing my attention, I need to be mindful and see if it will pull me away. For example, the blue color highlights my hands, and the black will act as a barrier of focus. 

    Channeling the Clarity

    Now I’m thinking about writing during the nighttime and total darkness. Then the only color will be the marks on the white page. However, since I go to bed early, I’m usually tired. Therefore, my writing space is during the morning or afternoon.

    Scanning some more, I have two speakers on each side playing music without words, furthering my ability to zero in focus. 

    At the time of writing, it will benefit me not to run the cleaning robot or have a playlist to channel the correct type of energy. Although my keyboard has a play next button, it works nicely with Amazon music, to my surprise.

    The abundance is around me.

    Almost out of ideas and reminding myself that these things are progress, not perfection. I make many mistakes, and I’m not growing if I don’t know if they are mistakes. For example, the color of the blue placemats doesn’t match. Also, my eye travels to the left each time I type, adding unnecessary attention. That will steal my engagement, so I will remove it and expand my mat. 

    I think that is all I wanted to write about today. However, I would like you to submit any suggestions on focusing on an upcoming post. It will be a surprise. 

    Be well,

    Vye

  • Day One: I write because

    Day One: I write because

    I’m scared of doing the free stream writing type. I write in the morning on Apple tablet with Julie Carmon’s morning pages. Alway wishing to free write on my blog instead. However, morning pages are for the birds and meant to be kept private. Now I’m exploring why I’m writing. Why do I need to tell readers why I even write? It leads me to an area of relaxation. A type of writing that doesn’t require a plan or any type of outline. If I find joy in that type of writing maybe somebody who is reading might find it enjoyable as well.

    Most days I write to get through the rut and remove it from my mind.

    I can find myself write one or two pages about my ex or somebody who hurt me. Then to realize that I had spent 15 minutes talking about them instead of focusing on myself and my needs. I write to be mindful and to learn more about my emotions and my desires. Then I learned that acting on emotions isn’t always good. Especially if it will cause me harm.

    While thinking about writing my mind led me to updating the plugins on my blog. I spent one hour updating WooCommerce plugins that I probably won’t even use for a while. We only a small amount of time during the day and the rest goes to some sort work or other hobby. For me it’s programming, cooking, cleaning, travel, stock market. So many things that prevented me from writing a single blog post since June.

    I wish I could free write and not have a care in the world.

    I don’t want to plan any keywords or anything like that. SEO is for the birds and I’m on a journey to discover me. So much noise is in the world, its vital that I find what speaks to me and reduce the clutter. Then only can grow and experience the world fully and mindfully.

    My favorite song that makes me cry is Way Maker by Leeland Holland. I listen to it when I feel lonely. It helps me amplify my feelings find a way to move forward. My loneliness is teaching me something. From my meditation studies I came to understand that it’s not that we need to push our emotions away, it’s that we need to let them be. Experience them fully and see what they want before we act.

    As I’m writing I find it helpful to have something playing in the background.

    I hope it’s not influencing my writing too much. Maybe on day two, I will try to write without any interference of music. Actually, I decided to turn it off as I said, so let’s see how my writing changes for the second half.

    I committed myself to write for 30 minutes. The Day One, I write because it was a challenge that came from the blogging university. So I hope that I can get back into it without making it a chore. In the past, I had written out outlines and made sure I had pictures and SEO setup for everything. I broke man. I didn’t like the feeling of it and it wasn’t natural like today’s writing. Even doing research on what to write felt like a chore and with the number of things happening in my life. It prevented me from having the capacity to write.

    As a result, I spent more time updating WordPress and adjusting things instead of finding a way to write. I don’t know what is in store for day two. However, I hope that after doing these workout’s I will be armed with different ways to write without being so restricted. In a way, I would like to make my blog more of a diary. However, I do wish that I could just write as my morning pages. Which would be like two birds and a stone type of scenario. Maybe that is a lazy way to excuse myself.

    I need morning pages to get the rust off my mind that will prevent me from moving forward.

    It usually takes me around a half as well to write my morning pages. Perhaps I can write my blog posts in 15 minutes and somehow find the time to write them. It does take effort to get on the operating table. However, I’m excited to share something with you, it’s not effort anymore. It’s excitement and joy. That is another reason why I love writing. It’s my way of sharing what I learned and what interests me at the time.

    I’m curious why you write because I want to know if we align together and maybe could have conversation in the comments.

    I still to finish writing this bit and have about 8 minutes to come up with some more thoughts on the matter. Why does Vye like to write. I’m seeking a connection with other writers. Even in our busy lives it’s hard to visit somebody else’s blog and read what they have to say. What I found that works for me is self-help type of posts. If I see something that speaks to me, I will comment and ask a question.

    Lately I’ve been commenting more on the YouTube platform, so I don’t know how to transition to reading things in the reader so I can find what I need. That is mostly because I love learning through video or audio. It’s so much faster to do that when we lead such busy lives. I’m curious how I can get myself in the spirit of reading more and connecting with you all. You know? No strings attached. That is the way to go.

    At least the healthiest way, without forcing yourself to do something where something in return is needed.

    I want to do things because I love them. Not because something I want in return. If I don’t get it, it will mess me up. That is me trying to be mindful of how my emotions mess me up.

    Praying God and meditation usually calm my spirit and get me in the right mindset before I move through my day. I wake up early in the morning like a stoic and go for my walk with nobody but me. I listen to meditation and clear my head of all negative self-talk. When I get back, I write for 30 minutes and get myself ready for the day.

    Hopefully, these patterns will unlock my full potential and remove the attachment trauma that has ruined my life.
