The market of alt coins is totally crazy these days. Just look at the graphs of Bitshares, Lisk or DNotes if you don't believe me. Give or take, every single coin is pumping like crazy and it is against human's nature to resist all the FOMO. However, if you love your life more than you love money, there is a need to rest from time to time even if that means not making some extra money.

***Congratulations to all the hodlers of BTS. I hope you sold it at 1,7k. just kidding. Keep hodling.***

I only consider myself a long term hodler of Steem. Every other coin is a short term investment. That means that I spend an awful lot of time analyzing those charts and getting anxious about even the slightest change. And I can only tell you - this stuff is exhausting. Sometimes when I have some open positions, I cannot sleep at night. That sucks. It's not like I have insomnia or something, but if I was not controlling myself... who knows.

And one morning, when I went to sleep at 3 am and woke up all tired at 8 am just to get back to those charts, I realized that it is not worth it after all. I mean - my health > my finances. That said, when I close all my positions for a couple of days (of course I try to do it when markets are correcting), I still have this freaking thought of missing out on something big. Also, when some coin is pumping hard, I get the same thought that I could have been on that train. And it goes on and on indefinitely.

<h1> All that matters if you can make any significant profits with your trading. Thinking about the potential winnings make you delusional.</h1>

When I catch myself thinking about all the money that I could have made if I did this or that, I just kick myself and say, "Dude, you've earned more than you could ever ask for. Be grateful and take a rest now." I don't know what about you, but it helps a lot to me. 

After all, if you didn't make some money which you "could have," it only means that this money was never yours to earn. We cannot understand how Universe works, but one thing for sure - nothing happens without reason. That is why you should not feel sorry for taking a rest, getting your energy levels back together, and coming back to trading with a clear mind and wise decisions.

<h1> If you like sleeping, try not to leave any risky positions open through the night.</h1>

And today, I closed all my positions, will go to sleep in a couple of minutes and will wake up fresh to start a new day. I won't trade and won't even think about it. I might lose a freaking million dollars, but you cannot ever make me work when I am taking my free time. Those things don't end up good. So, screw that bullish market at least once per week and let yourself enjoy the world full of FIAT and unappreciative people. That's only an advice of course.

<h1> Things can go up... and can go down. So instead of thinking that you are losing money while resting, think that you are winning it.</h1>
