2022 - “I'll invest now and forget about my investments until 2030,” he said, but he ended up checking his crypto wallet 30 times a day. The 2030 dream only lasted 20 or 30 weeks before he sold his property in disappointment. “I'll be in it for the long term” is just an excuse for “I hope I'm a millionaire this year.”

At first glance, the cryptocurrency market seems to be all about magic and beauty. The news that truck drivers are making millions with a $1,000 investment provides comfort that anyone can achieve a similar feat. Also, the news about “generational wealth creation” through cryptocurrencies can prompt you to enter the market.

Once you enter the market, the reality is different. It makes you feel like you are just one of millions of other people who have the same dream.

Thoughts of “Why can't I achieve this, while others succeed?” quickly creep in. This thought is enough to frustrate you mentally, and cause financial anxiety as the months go by.

If you are a cryptocurrency investor, there is no way you can escape the “charts, numbers, greens, reds, dips, bull market, bears,” etc.

Accept it, being a cryptocurrency investor is stressful and can make you feel like you're 50 even though you're 25.

The numbers game can drag you down and mentally block your ability to think about anything else. Happiness is now only linked to one post with one goal of making money with cryptocurrencies. Other things that made you happy in life have previously taken a beating.

Sometimes the pressure on cryptocurrencies is too much because it does not meet your financial aspirations. Here are 3 tips on how to stay calm as a cryptocurrency investor and overcome anxiety.

1. Avoid telling your friends that you invested in cryptocurrencies

If you tell your friends that you have invested in cryptocurrencies, the topic related to it will come up every time you meet them. This creates more pressure as you now have to explain how the currency is performing. It just scratches the surface of your “dream of being rich” and makes you feel uncomfortable when you get home.

Now think about it, the topic might come up again next week when you meet them. The process becomes frustrating because you can't explain that your investments haven't reached the "moon" yet.

Your investments are yours alone and avoid telling the world about it. This will keep you at peace and you will no longer have to explain anything to anyone about your money.

2. Find something that makes you happy

Do you remember how happy you were when you got your new shoes or something else that interested you? Unfortunately, this happiness is now only associated with cryptocurrencies. Break it down, find something that can make you happy and distract you from market events. Find things that make you happy in different ways and dive into them.

Make investments “just another part of your happiness” and don't focus entirely on them. This will really ease the burden on your shoulders and make you feel mentally free, which is the need of the hour.

3. Avoid checking charts

Charts are the first thing you see in the morning, afternoon, evening and night. We know that it is very difficult to resist seeing charts (we do it 13 times a day or more). It adds to the already pent-up burden on your shoulders.

Avoiding charts can reduce more than half the stress you experience. It's the secret recipe for finding peace in a world dominated by numbers. If you can step away from the charts and check the price every day, my friend, you have already succeeded in the world of cryptocurrencies.
