One philosophy in life I like to apply to personal finance is the Stoic Way. Do what you can, with what you have where you are. It is about accepting the world for what it is and honoring the present moment. I am constantly trying to better manage my reactions and emotions in all aspects of my life. Often our emotions are a knee jerk ego based response, when in reality no response may be required. Same holds true for investing. Here are a few concepts of Stoicism that may be of interest for further thought:
Accept what you can and cannot control (position size / % of risk you’re taking per trade)
Accept that your happiness is your responsibility and business (Why are you trading and does it rule your emotions? Are you blaming other or unrelated events for your losses?)
Accept that life is change and you can only take action in the now and present
