# 01_mindset_journal-every-trade-and-how-you-felt_FINAL

[00:00] Also, kept a log of every one of my trades, and I kept a journal of how I was feeling during that trade. And I had to remind myself, breathe, breathe. Because I'd get into a trade and I'd be shaking all over and I'd stop breathing. Almost as if I expected to lose. Has anybody else had that, that same kind of feeling? Chris?
[00:31] Absolutely.
