I am a discretionary trader. So all my performance depends on how disciplined I am and how clear my mind is or as my friend and tutor said "your daily routine is to fight your demons".

About two days ago I considered starting tai chi classes to bring to harmony my body and mind. And look, yesterday I got an email with invitation to watch this video with practical advice on how to start meditating.

It's a middle of the day and I stopped my work to meditate for the first time in my life! I found closing eyes helpful to avoid distraction. At least I have a developed visual memory so anything in front of me brings a lot of attention.

Thank you Jason and Ng Kok Song for this great vid!

Jason, which words do you find useful to use as a mantra? I understand that it all depends on each of us but how do you identify that correct (suitable) word or word combination to be used?
