Hodling is not a bad thing to do.
Hodling can give you huge profit, but not at all times.
Hodlin in bear market can make you loose, if you are not careful of what to hodl, because not all coins are good to hodl for long at this time.
When you are advised to hodl, although it might be good, but let your consciousness be awakened, else you will be hodling and at the same time losing.
So hodl what you are able to follow up.
What you mean awakened that means aware on how your coins is performing currently in the market and in the future, you need the insight to do that, and it's not easy because in this bear market it's so hard when is the price bottom on all the coins you are holding, no coin is safe now.
