#نصائح 2022 - “I’m going to invest now and forget about my investments until 2030,” but he ended up checking his crypto portfolio 30 times a day. The 2030 dream didn’t last 20 or 30 weeks before he sold his holdings in disappointment. “I’m going to hold it for the long haul” is just an excuse for “I hope to become a millionaire this year.”
At first glance, the cryptocurrency market seems to be all about glamour and charm. News about truck drivers making millions with $1,000 investment provides comfort that anyone can achieve a similar feat. And news about “generational wealth creation” through cryptocurrencies is what can get you into the market.
Once you enter the market, the reality becomes different. It makes you feel like you are just one among millions of other people who have the same dream.
Thoughts of “Why can’t I do this while others do?” quickly creep in. This thought is enough to mentally depress you and cause financial anxiety as the months go by.
If you are a cryptocurrency investor, there is no way you can escape the “charts, numbers, green, red, declines, bull market, bear market,” etc.
Accept it, being a crypto investor is stressful and can make you feel like you're 50 even though you're 25.
The numbers game can drag you down and mentally block your ability to think about anything else. Happiness is now tied to just one post with one goal: making money in cryptocurrency. Other things that used to make you happy in life have been taken a beating.
Sometimes the stress of cryptocurrencies is too much because it doesn’t meet your financial aspirations. Here are 3 tips on how to stay calm as a crypto investor and overcome anxiety.
1. Avoid telling your friends that you invested in cryptocurrencies.
If you tell your friends that you’ve invested in cryptocurrencies, the topic will come up every time you meet them. This creates more pressure as you now have to explain how the currency is performing. It scratches the surface of your “dream of getting rich” and makes you feel uncomfortable when you get home.
Now think about it, it might come up again next week when you meet them. The process becomes frustrating because you can't explain that your investments haven't reached the "moon" yet.
Your investments are yours alone and you should avoid telling the world about them. This will keep you at peace and you will not have to explain anything to anyone about your money.
2. Find something that makes you happy.
Remember how happy you were when you got your new shoes or something else that mattered to you? Unfortunately, that happiness is now associated with cryptocurrencies only. Break it down, find something that can make you happy and distract you from market events. Find things that make you happy in different ways and dive into them.
Make investments “just another part of your happiness” and don’t focus on them entirely. This will actually take the burden off your shoulders and give you the mental freedom you need right now.
3. Avoid checking charts.
Charts are the first thing you see in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. We know that it is very difficult to resist looking at charts (we do it 13 times a day or more). It adds to the already pent-up burden on your shoulders.
Avoiding charts can reduce more than half of your stress. It’s the secret recipe for finding peace in a world dominated by numbers. If you can get away from the charts and check their price every day, my friend, you’ve already made it in the crypto world.
