MF MOASS LEVEL UP!!!!!
Ok hi, so I'm a psychology ape with experience in clinical work (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy/attachment theory) and research focused on genetics and addiction. I love stonks but I'm no DD god so this is my contribution to the community.

Post breakdown:
- Three 10/10 phrases applicable to the post and this entire situation.
- Meet n' greet with your brain.
- Why feelings matter for MOASS.
- MF MOASS LEVEL UP!!!
Knowledge is power.
It is not the strongest or smartest who survive, it's is those who can adapt.
Manage how you feel THEN manage how you exit.
Time to meet your brain! Why? because knowledge is power, thats why.
The three major brain divisions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The brain is broken into three parts:
- Primal brain (Basal Ganglia) - hindbrain
- Emotional brain (Limbic System) - midbrain
- Rational brain (Neocortex) - forebrain
Guess what? Your limbic system and neocortex are constantly communicating but they can only communicate in one direction at a time. Please allow me to introduce you to top-down and bottom-up processing.
Top-down and bottom-up structural processes.
Right, so do you want to think like a predator ready to take down a HF or a paper-handing prey? Oh you say predator? Well then listen the f up.
Your limbic system is responsible for all your feelies while your neocortex is responsible for managing those feelies.
When we are excited or scared, our brain goes into a 'fight or flight' response which operates on bottom-up processing. In simple words, if you become excited or scared during the MOASS (a likely response) then you may be irrational and could act on impulse.
No one wants to be, and no one wants you to be, an irrational ape during the MOASS. So it looks like your feelings really do matter (and fuck anyone who tells you they don't. no seriously, fuck them).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So whats the goal then? To keep your brain logical through top-down processing so you and everyone else can enjoy the MOASS.
There are 3 approaches to this and each of them is part of preparing:
- Learn.
- Desensitize.
- Self management.
Read the damn DD. Read up on exit strategies (listen up smooth brains, this is not a normal stock and traditional exit strategies may not be useful so do your DD or find someone else's). The more you know the more rational you are. This goes for your big bwain and its feelies too, learn how it works so you can be the best teammate you have ever known.
Find creative ways to alter your current environment/thinking to resemble a MOASS scenario. Look at tickers with BIG numbers. Write down the varying amounts you can make. Discuss floors that seem impossible but are in-fact very plausible (a.k.a. 1 million). Buy a pet snake then mail it to Ken.
Start familiarizing yourself with calming techniques and exit strategies. Start practicing those techniques when you are already calm so your brain knows what to do when euphoria hits. For example, if your practice deep breathing right now when MOASS is not wrecking havoc (in the best way) on your nervous system, then when MOASS does hit and you go, "ok time for a big bweath meow," your brain will go, "oh shit ok! we practiced this! I know what to do! I need to be calm and rational so I can make smart decisions about when to exit!!"

Alright, time for a MF MOASS LEVEL UP!!!
First off, you deserve this. That little FUD voice in your head saying you don't has no idea how much you deserve this. Show it that you do. Show yourself that you are worthy of reward.
Second off, all you <10 share holders, you are the back bone of this community. Thank you! The majority of this community is made of people holding <10 shares and it would not be what it is without you. Your ability to hodl is superior and don't you forget it. You matter. Your shares matter. Your reward matters.
I'm not writing third off (oops just did) because it sounds wierd. This post would be trash if I was not giving you resources so here they are. Now you can complete your MOASS level up.
