I have been a dividend focused investor for a long time. This does not mean I don't own growth stocks, I do. A well rounded portfolio should be a mixture of both categories. One way to minimize the anxiety out of stock market investing, is to make sure you keep a large cash cushion. I invest in the market, but never put all my money in market.

30 year investments in the S&P 500 earn at worst 9.8% annualized. (Doubling in a little over 10 years.) That includes periods ending at the market bottoms of 2009 and 2022. Returns that most people should be happy with. But many did not like the trip.

Investing is about waiting. 20 or more years for the S&P 500. Not about the buying and selling.

Market down turns are buying opportunities.
Only buy stocks you truly believe in. That way you will have the faith and courage to buy more in a market down turn.
Only sell when you lose faith in the company. Then sell regardless of it being up or down and reinvest in a company you do have faith in.

I was selling a position from my negative return stocks (stock picking) and wanted to buy into the sp500 etfs. I thought I was buying at an all time high. 1 month in, it's got at least 5% since then. Just keep buying as much and as soon as possible.
