If you HODL, remember to zoom out of charts and crypto groups every now and then

Look, I know most of us are crypto addicts. Staring at charts and shitposting on groups everyday is part of the hustle and it can be fun at times. Specially when things are going up.

When they are going down, however, they can become pretty toxic and taxing on your mental health. I think most of those holding alts these last days can feel that the mood in several groups is not the best; unless you're holding Luna or something. Bitcoin is getting everyone rekt and constantly staring at those red or stagnant charts for days on end can induce unhealthy doses of anxiety. Telegram groups and internet forums will compound that with the constant stream of negative sentiment and opinions.

Ironically, all of this shouldn't bother you if you are hodling. If you did your research, you trust the project and things seem to be going well with development, price shouldn't bother you so much. You are in it for the long haul and you already know price swings like crazy. If you day-trade, tho: God bless you.

So, if you are starting to feel strained, anxious and angry, maybe it is time you take a little break from the charts, specially if you are holding alts right now. BTC is making its moves and everyone else is waiting to see what's gonna happen. September's dip got everyone spooked and we are far from alt season.

So remember to zoom out a bit if you feel like crypto is affecting your mood too much. Do yourself a favor and work on your other hobbies, spend time with loved ones and watch a movie or something. Soon enough you'll hear about green candles again and you can come back to this crazy casino.

Good luck, everyone.
