Hi.
This is just one of my shower thoughts regarding all of our mental health.
Step 1: choose an asset to invest in
Step 2: DONT INVEST ANYTHING YOU CANT AFFORD TO LOSE
Step 3 : forget about it for a while
In this time if you dont look at your portfolio and you dont look at the charts your investment portfolio becomes a "Schrödingers portfolio". It is either dead or alive,and dead and alive at the same time. In the meantime try to stay sane, forget about it. Depending on your risk management and planned invested period try not to even think that you invested anything, it will keep you from losing your marbles.Perhaps even use the "auto-invest" function that some exchanges have and dont even think about it.Investing shouldnt be a major part of our lives.
*Schrödingers equation
In a few months (years,decades) when you finally open your "box of cat" you can have nothing (the cat is dead),or you can be pleasantly surprised (the cat is alive and kicking). Upon finally looking at your portfolio you create 2 separate timelines (according to some quantum theories-"many worlds interpretation").In the first scenario your investment is gone and you are poor,in the second you are rich and can finally live like you want to and afford the things you want.
For a low budget investor(like myself) ,who is not able to invest thousands of dollars but only a small portion of money i earn working, each dollar is worth a lot.Checking your portfolio daily,or even hourly can lead to some really awkward mental issues and unnecessary worries about your investment.
Assuming many of you are like me,just a regular person,not a badass whos name starts with Elon and ends with Musk,we cant influence the general market in any meaningful way.
So just chill, do the Schrödinger,trust the science and hope you end up in a more beneficial timeline. :D
Best of luck to everyone.
Thank you for reading.
