How I Cope with the Trump-Era Market Crash Through Morning Runs

Ever since President Trump launched his tariff war, the stock market has been on a steady decline. More and more people are expressing fears of a total asset market collapse.

While Trump himself assures the public that this is a “predicted downturn” and likens it to a patient recovering post-surgery, investors and CEOs flood the media with concerned takes. The term Trump economic recession appears in every headline, and news alerts about the stock market crash pop up constantly — often more alarming than reassuring.

Mental Strength Is the Real Asset Management

I’ve been feeling unfocused lately, too — watching my portfolio tumble isn't easy. But I remind myself of something critical: “Asset management starts with mental management.”

To protect my mindset, I went back to a simple but powerful habit: morning running.

Why Morning Runs?

Lately, my physical condition hasn't been great, and I stopped running for a while. But the volatility of the market gave me a strange sense of urgency — almost like my body was telling me: “Go outside, now.”

I run for about 30 minutes to an hour — nothing extreme. But in that short time, something important happens.

Even when my thoughts remain the same, the emotions attached to them change. Running doesn't always change your mind, but it often changes your mood. And that makes all the difference.

Science-Backed Benefits of Morning Running

  • Boosted Energy → Increased Productivity
    Morning running gets your blood flowing and your brain working, setting a strong tone for the day.
  • Stress Relief
    Running increases your endorphin and serotonin levels, helping reduce anxiety and stress.
  • Improved Sleep
    When your body is active in the morning, it tends to wind down more naturally at night.

“A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body”

Having a consistent routine like this helps me stay grounded, even while the economy stumbles. And more than any financial forecast, I’m starting to believe the most important investment is in my own emotional resilience.

Let’s Talk

Do you have a morning ritual that helps you start the day with a steady mind?
Or maybe a nighttime routine that helps you unwind?
Either way — I’d love to hear your thoughts. 😊

How Small Routines Build Financial Freedom

How Small Routines Build Financial Freedom Why Most People Stay Financially Stuck The value of cash is shrinking. Inflation eats away at our savings, and many people still rely solely on earned income without any long-term plan. As Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." Financial freedom isn’t just about how much you earn — it's about what systems you build while you rest. The Real Power of Routines: Compounding Most people misunderstand compounding. They think it's about big money or big steps. But compounding teaches us the opposite: Start small, stay consistent. The earlier you begin, the longer time works in your favor. A five-minute habit, when repeated every day, has more power than a one-time burst of effort. Routines of the Wealthy: What Successful People Do Differently Warren Buffett reads 5–6 hours daily. Oprah Winfrey journals and meditates every morning. Tim Cook start...

The Real Power of Compounding: What the Greatest Investors Want You to Understand

The Real Power of Compounding: What the Greatest Investors Want You to Understand The Market Is Full of Noise. You Must Learn to Stay. "Don’t get out of the market." — John Bogle In times of volatility, when your portfolio is down and headlines scream panic, the easiest decision is to run. But that’s not how wealth is built. The truth is, markets always have noise. Predictions will vary. Trends will rise and fall. But over time? The S&P500 has quietly climbed, like a steady tide. Through wars, recessions, pandemics — it moved up. Not always fast. But always forward. Leaving the market during down periods doesn’t save you — it delays your freedom. Buffett’s Timeless Strategy: Focus on What You Love, Not the Market Warren Buffett, the greatest long-term investor of our time, once said: "The average investor should just buy a low-cost S&P500 index fund, and then do something more important — find what they love and focus on it forever." This isn'...
