Mindfulness

Stress Resilience

Paying attention to the present moment without judgment. A mental state achieved by focusing awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Used as a therapeutic technique and trading performance tool. Example: Instead of thinking 'I'm a terrible trader' after a loss, mindfulness means observing 'I'm feeling frustrated about this loss' - noticing the feeling without becoming it or judging yourself.
