dealing with impatience

Woke up again really early, 5:30. Meditated for a while and finally got out of bed around 5:50. Turned on the tv and see premarket numbers are up. Feels like deja vu from yesterday. Went through the same routine: Check market news, check notifications in TipRanks, check Zacks for new strong buys. It would really make my day if I found something I can trade today. I don’t want to make any moves due to restlessness, but sitting still is testing my patience.

To calm my impatience, I intended to go for a 5 mile run. Instead, I went to the driving range. I also fasted. I’ve gained quite a few pounds this summer and feeling a bit more sluggish than usual.

DOW ended the day up 1.27% and NASDAQ up 2.09%. Not too bad. I’m glad the momentum picked up during the day. However, I’m still very cautious as I see this volatility continuing at least until the Feds stop raising interest rates. Still no trades today.
