Don't Lose Your Humor

Challenges

Times are tough for many and all of us have different ways to deal with stress.

As I've commented upon before, my favorite ways are to exercise more, get more sleep, and make sure that I stick to my normal work routine. In fact, I also make every effort to resist the urge to work longer hours and watch business-related TV, though I know most do the exact opposite during these times.

Beyond that, I also think it is important to keep good humor. We all take the market, ourselves, and money in general far too seriously. Yes, I know, there is real money on the line and it hurts when we lose money, but if you can't roll with the punches and maintain a good perspective through thick and thin, then you have no business trading or investing one dime in this or any other market. This is a tough game and only those who are able to maintain perspective thrive over the long haul.

As for today, to assist you in making sure you at least smile on yet another stressful day, be sure to visit one of my favorite websites in times of despair. I'm sure it will put at least one smile on your face today.
