What did I learn about discipline only after years of trading?

For a long time, I considered discipline to be something like constant training: a daily struggle with laziness, a strict "no" to any unplanned business, and a complete lack of enjoyment from life and work.

Over time, it became clear that this approach does not create stability, but fatigue.
Discipline is not an act of violence against oneself or heroism, it is a way of life. When order is built into the schedule, it ceases to seem like a heavy burden. 

My morning sets the tone for the day: getting up at the same time, warming up, meditating, having a quiet breakfast, planning key work tasks. If the morning lacks this foundation, the day becomes chaotic, decisions are impulsive, and the market inevitably takes advantage of this.

Regular sports perfectly maintain discipline both in life and in the market. Not every workout brings tangible success, but over time, small improvements add up to serious progress.

Interestingly, it's the opposite for me — a strict regime and discipline through effort work best. When I start to "balance" and look for softness, everything falls apart. Apparently, everyone has their own way — the main thing is for the system to work. Thanks for the cast 2300 $degen, made me think)
