Has anyone who struggles with this ever come up with a successful way to deal with it because its a real problem for me. I still feel pangs of regret about things I paid too much for, didn't buy when I had the chance and sold when I should have held on to it, especially when I see similar or even the same exact item bringing way more than I let it go for. This weekend I had lots of reasons to agonize over these questions. I didn't buy hardly anything but I walked away from some good deals and didn't bid on things I really wanted and now I'm left to wonder if I made the right decisions. I know some of you have no issues with this, it easy to just let stuff come and go in your life and you move on without a second thought. I'm looking for advice from people who actually struggle with this and have come up with successful strategies to deal with it. I know that this is in the category of "first world problems" but sometimes it gets to the point that it's making hard to enjoy the hobby anymore.
I can't think of anyone "not having issues". We all have had them and some of us still do.
But you don't need to hear that b.s. which you probably already know.
Long time ago I started dwelling on the positive. When the negatives came at me....and they do
all the time.
I have learn to recognize these bad vibes and put them into perspective, I literally tell myself....you
are not in control...I am.. so get the hell out. I can be just as stubborn. I workout in the gym or ride a bike.
At night, when it gets worse,I listen to music or watch movie or plan on doing something positive for the
next day even if I don't do it but at least I'm going for positiveness.
There's no instant cure, you need to work on it. You have to decide...who's in control!
BTW:
That quote in blue below is my signature when things begin to
feel like it's getting negative, I've had it for a while and it helps me.
