How To Deal With Toxic People

We all know them. Everyone has at least one toxic person in their lives. They may be close relatives or friends, which is why it may be impossible to get away from them. They can be draining, upsetting and make you feel bad about yourself. However, there are some things you can do to deal with these toxic people. Keep reading for more information.

The first thing you can do, if at all possible, is to cut down time that you spend with these people. They usually are the ones calling you all the time and trying to be in your company a lot of the time. You need to be able to tell them no. If they call more than once a day, let their calls go to voicemail. If they want to see you multiple times a week, cut that down to one. If you can’t avoid them altogether, do your best to restrict interactions with them.

The next thing you might want to do is to examine why they are so toxic to you. This is something you can do on your own. You need to ask yourself why they trigger your bad feelings. Are you afraid you will end up like them? Are you said that they are that way? Getting to the root of why you feel the way you do toward them, you can better find ways to cope. For instance, if you are afraid that you will turn out like them, before you see them outline all the ways you are different.

You can also talk to the toxic person. There is a big chance that they will not even realize that you find them to be toxic. That is why you owe them a chance to sit down and talk. Do not call them toxic, because they will likely become upset. Instead, choose a few specific actions that they take, which you don’t like. If they are willing to change, that is a good sign. If they become belligerent and start attacking you, back off.

Do your best not to get into an argument with a toxic person. Toxic people like to argue. This is generally because they want to be in control of something, and when they can’t control you, they don’t like it. However, you don’t need to get into every argument they want to have with you. Simply take a few deep breaths and think about peaceful things. When they see you are not going to argue with them, they will stop.

Find new friends to spend time with. In order to make sure that you can move on, start finding supportive people to talk to and do things with. This can be a great way for you to forget about the toxic people in your life. If you are spending time with good friends, you won’t have that much time to deal with any toxicity.

Toxic people are everywhere, and we all have to deal with them. Use the tips above to help you cope. Soon you’ll feel much better.

Family And Personal Development

Your family and friends can either be a great resource to your own personal development or they can be detrimental to your growth.

When I speak about family, I generally consider these to be people who are related to you and with whom you have close contact. They can include your mother, father, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. Your own children as well as your spouse or life partner are also considered family.

It is so important for you to have the support of these familial relationships on your journey of growth. You will however find that people have very different views to self development. While some just may not seem to see the need for growth others may consider it a waste of time.

On the other hand you may find a family member who seems to want to hijack your journey. There is a very fine line between being supportive and becoming over involved. The key word here is SELF development and as important as support is, you must not include people at your own detriment.

Sabotage is another problem that you must be aware of in your family members. This comes in the form of someone who sees your growth and no longer feels their own worth in the relationship. These people may begin criticizing you unnecessarily damaging your self confidence.

As you begin on the path to self development it is important to gauge where each of your family members stand. For those family members who are untrustworthy of the process, share on a limited basis how your growth is affecting you. Rely on those who are supportive but be selective in choosing the advice they may offer.

Be careful not to alienate those nearest and dearest to you. Don’t over stress your achievements and make your journey about humility as well as growth. Remember that self development includes all areas of life and that a negative element to your growth will put everything else out of balance.

Make sure that the time you spend on your self development does not take away from your family. This is especially true when you have children who rely on you for so much. They can consider your personal development to be selfish and begin to resent you as well as the process.

A great rule of thumb is to always be considerate of those around you and address any issues that may arise. For example, your mother or father may feel that your need for self development means that they were somehow inadequate as parents.

Although your parents may not be able to word these feelings or objections, be sensitive. Keep reassuring them that you just want to be a better person than they already made you and that without them, you would never have been in a position to consider improving yourself.

Make one of your self development goals to be more supportive of your family. You will be surprised how the support will be returned to you in bucket loads.

Forex Momentum Scalping

I am going to teach you a very risky strategy that is either going to make you a lot of money or lose you a lot of money. I am the type of person who likes to takes risks. As semi-professional poker players, I was always a super aggressive player who would bully all of the other players. I was what they call loose aggressive. My approach to trading Forex isn’t much different. I take a lot of chances, I gamble, but I never lose my shirt. Yes, I lose money sometimes, but I never lose my shirt.

Never Lose Your Shirt

Before I go into the details of momentum scalping, lets first discuss the meaning of, never lose your shirt. In any game of risk, you must use proper money management. As a scalper, we are making tons of trades a day. We are basically making 100’s of gambles a day, so if we use too much leverage or two much of our account on each trade, we will go broke. Money management allows you to live to play another day or live to trade another day. Without money management, I would be in the poor house.

The Nuts & Bolts of Momentum Trading

First, lets talk about scalping. What is scalping? It really depends on who you are talking to. An old school pit trader might have a classic definition of scalping, while a modern computer based trader will tell you that scalping is getting in and out of a trade within minutes of executing it. There are even scalpers who are only in a trade for seconds. For this article we are talking about the modern type of scalping.

I call my technique momentum scalping because I only trade when the Forex market is super liquid.  I mostly trade when the New York open starts to around 11 AM. I am finished with trading by 12 PM every day. There are times when I trade the London open. To use momentum scalping only trade when the big banks are battling it our and moving currency around the different opens.

Momentum scalping is all about riding the big price moves and jumping in and out of them. From a chart point of view, I always trade the 5 minute chart. I find that this chart gives enough opportunities to make moves without the noise of say a 2 min chart.

We are looking for individual bars to immediately jump in price. This happens when a SINGLE bar goes from a small size to a really large size. We enter a trade right when it’s growing in size and we use our discretion as to when to exit a trade. I sometimes make 4 pips and jump out of a trade.

I also use some safe guard such as having a 8 pip stop loss and a 4 pip take profit. We only trade 1% of our account because this is a risky form of trading but it is fun.
