To whomever may read this comment, you are worth every last bit of love, kindness and worth on this earth. Never give up with every video you’ve watched every book you’ve ready every thought you’ve had it’s an inch closer to filling your goals of self love and wisdom. Stay stoic my friends
What a beautiful sentiment, @thefinespace! 💛 Thank you for spreading positivity and good vibes in our community. 🙏🏻 Wishing you and everyone else the same. Out of the Stoic lessons shared, which one do you believe can lead us closest to inner peace?
Thanks for tuning in and sharing your thoughts, @davegcomedy1267! 😊 It's heartening to see how you're embracing life's challenges and seeing them as a chance for personal evolution. Gratitude in the face of adversity can indeed be transformative 🌈. Out of curiosity, was there a particular storm in your life that shifted your perspective towards this stoic view of gratitude?
Recently had a girl just ghost me after telling me how much she cares for me and how much she appreciates me and that she sees her self with me in the future . This hurt badly and some people out in this world are just cold and have no regard for other peoples emotions . This brought me clarity. I will continue to grow and not let lifes obstacles get in way instead I will climb over them.
@@kyle4722 you’re allowed your emotions but remember we are not our emotions. Give yourself a fair amount of time to grieve. Once you’ve healed, remember to not look for love and validation outside yourself. Love yourself first always. Pain is unavoidable in this life but we can choose how to react to it. Intend to transmute the negative emotions into positive ones. This will make you stronger as long as you don’t let it take you down. Also remember you’re a bad mfkr and you can overcome anything
@brianmcollough1385 I'm genuinely touched that the videos are having a positive impact on you, especially during a challenging time. Life can be tough, but Stoicism offers tools to navigate its ups and downs. Remember, every experience, good or bad, contributes to our growth. Do you have a favorite Stoic quote or teaching that you've come across that has helped you? Sending strength and positivity your way! 💪
Going through two decades of worsening hardships and finally reaching a point where everything is quite stable and peaceful. Going through all that made me stoic without me even knowing what it is until recently. The thing I struggle with is emotion control towards a certain topic and I have a constant lingering anger and hatred in the back of my mind. I want to get rid of the emotion while keeping the knowledge. I already taught myself how to control anxiety and crippling stress, but the lingering hatred and anger are very tough to crack.
Mastering my emotions has become my number one goal. I have anger issues and definitely respond too much with emotion. What I struggle with while watching this is when its appropriate to step back, pause and consider something said or done was not intentional or would have such an impact, to understanding the words or action were intentional and demand an immediate response. Interactions with people can be such a mind game, how you react can say more than how you don't react, whether that be a pause or a reaction. quick banter and wit to defuse the situation or even put you on top of the situation eludes me and adds to my anger and emotional response. It takes me too long to respond in these situations which makes the outcome even worse. The best I can do is remain silent while I'm ready to choke the person out on the inside. The idea of controlling my emotions is a daunting task and pushes me to be recluse and isolated...easier said than done....but working at it....
@earl81ful Thank you for your openness and vulnerability in sharing your personal challenges, Earl. 🙏 Emotions, especially intense ones like anger, can be incredibly overwhelming, and it's commendable that you're striving for mastery over them. Stoicism teaches us that it's not the events themselves, but our judgments about them, that cause our feelings. But understanding that conceptually and applying it in the heat of the moment are two different things. Have you tried any specific Stoic exercises or meditations to help you during those moments when emotions surge? Remember, every step you take towards self-improvement, no matter how small, is progress. Keep pushing forward, and know that this community is here for support! 💪✨
@@stoicbond I have just started my journey of control. I know I need to get it done but it's also a daunting task. I appreciate the channel and will keep working on it.
I can relate to your comment, I feel the same way. I've had anger issues most of my life, and now at 45 just beat breast cancer, I want to taper my attitude and not get upset by people's words or actions towards me, I used to put my hands on people my attitude was horrible, I would get mad and take offense to anything, living in Chicago, dealing with slick, game runners kept me on edge. But being diagnosed with cancer has given me the IDC attitude, I just want to control my actions and emotions 😢😢😢
@@AngeLola1003 That's great to hear you beat breast cancer!! I hope it stays away for good! The fact that you recognize how you are and how you want to be is the first step, in my humble opinion of walking the same path. My biggest problem is the speed at which I go from nothing to full honey badger, tearing someones head off. Its bad...I keep telling myself to take a breath but my hot head won't let me most times, then I regret it....keep after it!
Journaling has helped me tremendously throughout my life to navigate my inner world and emotions. To think I started journaling in 4th grade as a way to get my emotions out, I fell in love with writing and reading. I continue to journal as an adult and I have seen my life play out in ways and I can go back in my journal and see where I was at mentally. It’s a great tool, an outlet, and a motivator to becoming the best version of myself.
Each Stoic lesson offers a unique perspective on mastering emotions, especially the insights on control and reflection. If you're on a journey to self-improvement, these lessons are golden. They're not just theories; they're life-changers. Anyone else feel the same?
I do its helping me in so many ways. Just allowing me to gain information that will only give me strength,wisdom, courage, to reflect and find solutions to better myself. Thank you 💝
I'm 20 years old and still struggling to control my anger. It often overwhelms me. I'm seeking help because I want to change, not just for myself but for my girlfriend. We recently broke up, and it's all my fault. I feel like a burden to everyone. I want to change, but I'm struggling with my emotions, and I'm holding myself back from being better. I'm hoping this can help me improve and change my life.
Stocism is helping me tremendously with my kratom addiction. Listening to the teachers of great philosophy and acceptance is a powerful way leading to recovery.
Just told someone about the idea of focusing on what you have vs what you lack!!! So powerful! It has truly helped navigate my mind to more positive things 🥰
I just hope and pray that the young ones who are coming up will be very attentive to God and pray for a better life ahead of them. May the good Lord guide us forever not to be in the dark Amen.
Hoppy-titus: "Change those things we have the ability to change and sit down, pour a cup of coffee and enjoy yourself when there are things you can't change." My father repeatedly gave me this belief: "Don't look at as a problem. A problem is an opportunity of change and improvement. If it remains a problem, it the becomes a challenge to make it an opportunity. " Journaling has always been a challenge for me. But I'm receiving assistance that will force me to do it. Very good video!
Mastering the control of emotions, especially in high-pressure environments, is a vital skill I often emphasize on my channel. This video, promising to unveil 7 stoic secrets, aligns perfectly with the principles I advocate for. I am eager to dive into these stoic secrets and encourage others to do the same, fostering a community of individuals striving for emotional intelligence. Thank you for this resource! 🌟
Thank you so much, @thegutterguy404! 🙌 It's great to hear from fellow content creators who share similar values and insights. Emotional intelligence, especially in challenging situations, is indeed a game-changer, and I'm thrilled that you're advocating for it on your channel. 🌟 Let's continue to uplift and educate our communities together! Out of curiosity, which of the 7 stoic secrets do you find the most valuable for fostering emotional intelligence? 🤔💭
@@stoicbond Stoic principles have truly been a game-changer for me, especially the one about reflecting before acting. It's amazing how taking a moment to think before I act has had a positive impact on my business and channel. It's like having a built-in compass for making better decisions. How about you? Any Stoic principle that resonates with you or any other viewers out there?" 🤔🚀
Absolutely, @thegutterguy404! Reflecting before acting is truly a powerful principle, and it's awesome to hear how it's positively influenced your business and channel. 🚀 For me, the principle of "Amor Fati" or loving one's fate has been monumental. Embracing whatever comes our way and treating every moment, whether positive or negative, as something to learn from has been transformative.
I absolutely love how this video breaks down the stoic principles into practical lessons. The idea that we can control our reactions to events rather than the events themselves is such a powerful reminder. It's really helping me navigate daily stress with a calmer mindset. Anyone else trying to apply these lessons?
I’m always grateful every day and maintain a positive outlook on life, to adapt rather than react. However, lately, I’ve met someone who has really affected my heart. He’s a true stoic, always calm and almost nonchalant about everything, and I find myself deeply attracted to him. I’ve grown so attached that I don’t want to let him go. If he leaves me, I understand it’s out of my control, but It will be really sad.
I listened to the videos you had uploaded, and then seeking more content I watched other channels and it’s really not the same. Your voice, metaphors, all of it is really great. Keep at it, and thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for subscribing, @tobiasolausson8085! 🙏 Your feedback means a lot. It's heartening to know that the content and presentation resonate with you. Is there a specific topic or concept you'd like to see covered in future videos? 😊🤔
@@stoicbond Are all the other channels I am subscribing to yours also?? Damn, I may have a little more time than some but there are tons of these channels 😮
I'm genuinely touched that the content has resonated with you in such a meaningful way. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Out of curiosity, which Stoic principle or habit has had the most impact on you? 🌟
I never practiced gratitude until I got sober and joined AA, but I see how much it does change my outlook over time. I really loved the journaling perspective in the other video & how it can be used for wisdom & notice our patterns. I always had a rough time knowing how to journal even though I’m super introspective & articulate. Thank you for these! I want to play them in headphones while I sleep lol
Shavonne, your journey with gratitude and sobriety is truly inspiring. I'm glad you found value in the journaling perspective. It's a powerful tool for introspection. Given your articulate nature, journaling can be a beautiful way to channel your insights. Do you think there are other Stoic practices that could complement your gratitude journey and recovery? 🌱📖 And thank you for the kind words - listening during sleep is quite a compliment! 😊
@calvinholt5242 Calvin, you've touched on a deep and essential truth. Being kind to those who might not show the same in return is a genuine test of character. Stoicism teaches us to control our reactions and to understand that others act based on their judgments and beliefs. How do you practice kindness in the face of adversity? And have any Stoic teachings aided you in maintaining that stance? Your insight is valuable to all of us. Thank you for sharing! 🍃
I was so stoic and driven and emotionally controlled in the most powerful way. I got Covid twice , the stress of living alone , life has been out of my control and I am incredibly sensitive emotionally and go thru period of depression and getting out of it. I just pray to god to feel in control and in my alpha state again.
Hey @R93m, thanks for watching the video and sharing your experience with us! It's great to hear that you were able to apply stoic principles to stay emotionally controlled in tough times. 🙌 I can only imagine how challenging it must have been to go through Covid twice and live alone. 😔 It's completely normal to feel sensitive and experience periods of depression during such uncertain times. But remember, stoicism teaches us to focus on what we can control and let go of what we can't. 🧘♂️ I'm curious, what specific stoic lessons have helped you the most during these tough times? 🤔 Let's keep the conversation going and share our experiences with each other!
Wow 😮 Awesome 🤩 Very impressive, very informative, knowledgeable and inspiring teachings to stay peaceful & calm and to keep moving on for a better self being 📖 Thank you 📕 📚
"Today could be the best day of my life. - Let me share it with style and grace. Today could be the worst day of my life. - Let me handle it with poise and courage."
Well... in terms of lessons that resonated the most: number 2, to reflect before reacting, and number 4, to ask whether it'll matter in 5 years. Both for different reasons, though. Reflecting is what I'm struggling with at the moment. Didn't use to, though. In my college years, I had fine control over my mental state and practised visualisations on a near-daily basis, slow breaths and everything. But then something happened and it appears to have eroded my resistance. I started getting emotional over movies that didn't bother me before, getting short of breath despite not changing anything about my exercise or diet... I suspect it was due to a shock in relation to my sleeping schedule along with sugar and caffeine intake (one outside of my control, long story), but it messed up my ability to visualise and meditate, and I've not managed to get quite back to my old level. As a result, some comments just set my heart rate off, or topics get me blurting out things I shouldn't. Been like that for ten-odd years now. Number 2 is what I need to work on for the future. I'm a practising chaoist, so some of these resonated a little differently than most. Chaotism advocates for journalling, too, and studying yourself, and I quote 'like a predator studies its prey.' Still not sure what to do about this issue, but I'm trying different options at the moment. Hopefully one will take. Number 4, though, is what is evident from the past. Five years ago I was struggling hard, just out of college and not getting any job prospects, no help from government agencies who took two years to realise that yes, I actually was entitled to a little help. Took a temp job that absolutely wrecked me for three weeks, took a course that took a year, took a gamble with one of the agencies who were interested, and now I have a job that has nothing to do with what I spent eight years in college for. And yet, as much as the job can get on my nerves sometimes, I realised shortly after getting it that it's my dream job. We had to get some analyses done personality-wise and it genuinely put some things into perspective, some useful lessons came out of that. Now I do work that aligns with my basic character traits, I'm not going against my nature, I'm using some of my negative traits constructively. And I'm good at it, I get positive feedback on a regular basis. If you'd told me five years ago that I'd be doing the work I'm doing now, and that I'd be appreciated for it, I'd have told you you're nuts. People believed in me, and my rational self couldn't believe why. But I'm now four years into this job, and I'm one of the success stories of my department. I say that not to brag, but to illustrate: there are some crazy things that can happen in five years. You can go from hopeless to top of your game and building a career and becoming proficient in a field you don't even realise exists in five years. I guess the lesson on control is something I took to heart since then, too, but in a different sense: you can't control the outcome of the die roll, but you do have control over how often you can roll the dice. You can't control whether you'll luck out, but you do control when you stop pursuing an avenue, or accept another one.
Wow, @RaichuWizDom, thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and detailed reflection on your journey. 🙏 It sounds like you've had quite the transformative experiences over the years. Your insight into both the importance of reflection and the unpredictable nature of life's outcomes are invaluable. It's impressive how you've managed to find a role that aligns with your core traits, even when it wasn't what you initially expected or studied for. That's a testament to adaptability and resilience. And as for the struggles with reflection and control, it's an ongoing journey, and it seems like you have a deep awareness of where you've been and where you want to go. Given your background in Chaotism and its emphasis on self-study, do you think there are specific Stoic practices or lessons that could be beneficially integrated into your current approach to personal growth and introspection? 🤔
@@stoicbond Learning to let go is a big one. Taking the victories you get and not feeling the need to pursue further towards the next step immediately. 'Stop complaining' is another big one, though that's something of a social thing in my circles.
@miyannaable Miyanna, I'm thrilled to hear that the combination of imagery, narration, and music has resonated with you. Crafting a holistic experience for our viewers is always the aim. Which lesson has been the most impactful or memorable for you? Your feedback and insights can help shape future content. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for your kind words! 🎥
These were brilliant thoughts from brilliant Stoic philosophers of ancient era, that hold more and more weight in our lives today and the horrible times we are living at present..Narrated very beautifully with impact .Taking our minds back in time to the bygone era to the Stoics, learning and meditating upon the invaluable lessons gleaned from their teachings and practices can bring about a sea of difference in our chaotic life we live in today .,,a beacon of light to help us move forward with gratitude and courage we find lacking in our lifes ,,as we introspect and in quietness of our minds and hearts . Thank you very much for this valuable video 🙏🙏🌿🌿🌿💚💚
Hey @Allegro1, I'm so glad you found value in the video! 🙌🏼 It's always a pleasure to hear from viewers who are passionate about stoicism. 🧘🏻♂️ Have you tried applying any of these stoic lessons in your own life? I'd love to hear about your experiences and how it has helped you control your emotions. Keep seeking wisdom and never stop learning! 📚
@@stoicbond Hey and thank you for your videos. From my experience I have understood one thing: virtue is a reward in itself and a great blessing. Second, it's not the things but our reactions that make us unhappy. Each day we have rendezvous with destiny and write our story of life, either happy or sad. Do we live in alignment with our principles? That's the question and solutions to all the problems which may possibly arise. Wisdom, generosity and kindness that's what humanity needs. Thank you for your support and sharing your wisdom. Keep shining 🌟
The concept of practicing dispassion might seem counterintuitive at first, but the way it's explained in the video makes perfect sense. It's not about suppressing emotions but rather about finding balance and perspective in our responses to life's ups and downs. Cultivating dispassion allows us to engage with the world more sustainably and navigate conflicts with grace. Truly a valuable lesson for modern living.
Incredible content! The lesson on reflecting before reacting hit home. It's such a powerful reminder to pause and understand our emotions before responding. I'll definitely start practicing this daily.
Being so emotional and sensitive has become so draining I’ve hit a point where I am just so emotionally burnt out. I definitely will be meditating on these 7 stoic lessons everyday to build up my EQ! The part that resonated with me the most was “a failed relationship might pave the way for personal growth and self discovery.” That is where my journey to self awareness begins (:
I love these videos. They bring peace and tranquility in my life. I am no longer in a hurry to do anything. I do just one thing at a time and think before I act or make decision. I just want to do one important thing and no more on any day.
Hey @alexb.471! 🤗 Thank you for watching the video and sharing your thoughts! It's amazing to hear that it has brought peace and tranquility into your life. 🙏🏼 Stoicism is all about finding inner peace and focusing on what truly matters. 🧘🏼♂️ I love that you're taking the time to do just one important thing each day. 🌅 It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, but by slowing down and being intentional with our actions, we can truly make a difference. 🌟
Most appreciative. I sent this site to my sister who thanked me and she said it really helped her. And me also. I wish our Congress could hear these truths.
For Christmas I bought 3 books "The Stoic Path" by Rodolfo Costa, "Meditations Marcus Aurelius Classical Translation by George Long and Seneca-Letters from a Stoic. I am just starting to read them. They go into much more detail from these great videos. Dealing with emotions is hard for me. I grew up not being allowed to express anything so now I just keep things bottled up until it hurts or they come out. I'm learning to stop myself from overacting taking a deep breath think for a moment then respond. I've been practicing daily mindfulness meditation for over 10 years now. It really does make a difference
I recently started learning about the stoic mindset and it makes the most sense out of other phillosophys and religions i've read about. you becomes your "purpus" in life, and that you is a wise, strong, resiliant, content and caring man who walks on earth unfazed by the distractions and challenges that life has to offer.
Welcome to the channel and thank you for subscribing! 🌟 I'm thrilled to hear that Stoicism resonates with you. It truly offers a grounding perspective in navigating life's ups and downs.

Thank you, @kassahunsinkneh9072! 😊 It's always the goal to make Stoic teachings applicable in our everyday lives. Out of the lessons presented, did any particular one resonate more with you or is there an area of Stoicism you'd like to explore deeper? 🤔
I've watched all manner of channels regarding stoic teaching and it is refreshing to see a video that is not completely inundated with hyper-masculine body imagery. It's nice to see some of the more philosophical imagery here. It is very satisfying that the message is based purely and solely on the philosophies and teachings of stoicism, getting right to the heart of the message without muddying the waters or attempting to use click-baity imagery or titles. In my humble opinion you make the very best stoic related content on RUclips, keep up the good work.
Jack, I deeply appreciate your feedback and observations. It's essential to ensure that the true essence and teachings of Stoicism remain unadulterated and genuine. Your kind words reaffirm the direction of the channel. 🙌 In your journey with Stoicism, is there a particular Stoic quote or concept that has been a cornerstone for your understanding or application of the philosophy? Your insights would be enriching to the community! ✍️🌟
@@stoicbond You're very welcome. I sincerely hope you keep on putting out material that is of the same standard! The most valuable lesson I have taken so far has been the act of journaling. It is perhaps the most overlooked of all the aspects of stoicism. People look to the act of writing down their own thoughts and feel that it somehow shows a sign of weakness or vulnerability. Being a straight white male myself the same is true of the notion of therapy or counselling amongst my friends and colleagues. In the same way that nearly everyone can benefit from therapy, I also believe everyone can also benefit from writing a journal. It is a safe space in which to air your thoughts, reflections and anxieties. The act of putting them to paper or typing it up onto a screen allows you to examine your thoughts and how you feel about them in a detached manner. It promotes a much deeper understanding of what it is that your true genuine self wants, and through that understanding strong affirmative actions can be taken. I can honestly say that I am a happier, healthier, stronger man by keeping a daily journal.
Thank you for sharing such a personal and insightful perspective. It's profound to see how the simple act of journaling can have a transformative effect on one's life. The misconceptions surrounding journaling, therapy, and other forms of self-reflection and self-expression can indeed be stifling, especially when societal pressures or stereotypes deem them as signs of weakness. It's heartening to see individuals like you challenging these norms and recognizing the true value in these practices. Your observation about journaling as a 'safe space' is particularly resonant. By documenting our thoughts, we grant ourselves an opportunity not just to reflect, but also to observe our patterns, growth, and areas of improvement. Over time, as you mentioned, this fosters deeper self-awareness and paves the way for positive change. Thank you for highlighting the significance of journaling within the context of Stoicism and more broadly in personal growth. Your testimony is a reminder of the power of introspection and the importance of cultivating it in our daily lives. Wishing you continued clarity and growth on your journey. 📖✍🌱@@jackwilding4990

These lessons have been really eye opening to me. I’ve never been the type to think before I speak and have said hurtful things to those I love I’ve followed and hit the bell I’m looking forward to adding all of these lessons to my life.
Thank you for subscribing and hitting the bell, @TheRealDirtyDan94! 🛎️ It's commendable that you're recognizing areas of growth and seeking to make positive changes. We all have moments where we wish we had paused before reacting. The journey to self-improvement is ongoing, and I'm honored to be a part of yours.

Same. These were presented in a way that really stuck with me and I can't explain it. The last two weeks my girlfriend has been much happier. I mean I've listen to Jordan Peterson and guys like that but for some reason just the way this is just so simple where is cool images of cool voice and examples along with the quotes

Good teaching, I especially appreciated the part about recognizing whether something is within your ability to change it or if it’s an opportunity to practice acceptance. Wisdom.
I can speak to the efficacy of reflecting on events that might not have an effect in 5 years time. My mother passed away over 5 years ago, and the event was devastating for me. I failed out of law school (and since recently graduated), my family life was rocky due to outside circumstances, but I persevered. My wife and I now have a new challenge (raising my brother-in-law’s kids while he is in rehab) and we continue to persevere through challenges together

@@stoicbond yes I have. When people make a negative comment or criticize me, I notice I won’t get trigger as easily as I use too. I also took a cold shower yesterday after running 3 miles, at first it was painful, then my body adapt. After that moment, I knew I can endure anything with a strong mind. Journal my thoughts, emotions, and expectations of myself have help so so much. It really is therapeutic when you have your thoughts jot down on your journal and reflect. Im trying to practice pausing more and reflective on what the person said and what I’m about to say. It’s been difficult I won’t lie. Catching yourself at that very moment is very difficult. I have my whole life ahead of me to master this skill. I honestly can’t wait to pass this down to my children, my father didn’t know how to control his emotions, let alone help me navigate my own. Thank you for this videos, I greatly appreciate them, honestly, you save a lot of men and women with your voice and the ancient stoic philosophy. Thank you.
Marcus Aurelius really hit the nail on the head with 'you have power over your mind, not outside events.' It's a simple concept, yet it's so powerful when you actually apply it in daily life. I've started using this mindset at work, especially during stressful projects, and it's amazing how much more control I feel I have. Does anyone else have similar experiences where applying Stoic principles has made a noticeable difference in your life?
I used to think these Stoic principles were just nice-sounding but unproven theories. Then, I decided to test a few of them in my own life as an experiment. Every time I fully embraced one of these ideas and made it a part of who I am, my life improved dramatically. I was amazed by the changes. It even affected my relationships-some people drifted away, while others grew stronger and deeper alongside me.
I really appreciate this video as I am looking to master my emotions, whereby, they will have a positive effect on my life, my finances, my health, my mental capacity, spirit, and people around me.
Wow, Thank You for this amazing content and delivery. Your command of words and metaphors reminds me of the ultra articulate Jordan Peterson. After listening to the first lesson i paused to share this with loved ones... so glad i did! Invaluable Thank you again !
Thank you so much for your kind words, @robnorcia3818! I'm truly humbled by the comparison to someone as articulate as Jordan Peterson. Sharing knowledge, especially with our loved ones, is one of the most fulfilling aspects of this journey. Out of curiosity, which part of the lesson resonated the most with you and your loved ones? Your feedback is invaluable as well. Gratitude! 🙏📖🌟
Wow, this video is so insightful! I've always struggled with controlling my emotions, but these 7 stoic lessons really make sense. It's amazing how much wisdom can be found in ancient teachings. I'll definitely be applying these secrets to my daily life. Thank you for sharing this valuable information!
Thank you for tuning in, Jerry! Glad you found the list stimulating. 🙌 Which of the seven lessons resonated the most with you or seemed the most challenging to implement? Curious to know your thoughts! 💭📘
@jacoblowery8263 Jacob, it's an honor to be a part of your morning routine! Creating a solid foundation at the start of the day can set the tone for everything that follows. Out of curiosity, which Stoic lesson has had the most impact on your mornings so far? Keep shining and thank you for your ongoing support! 🌞
So well explained, simple and effective. Knowledge sometimes is timeless. The ancient philosophers already had a very conscious mind, and what they said then still takes strong effect and logic today. Subtle but powerful ways to gain control of our mental and physical health.

Thank you for sharing that insight! 🤗 Since you've accumulated wisdom over the years, are there any Stoic teachings that particularly resonate with life lessons you've personally learned?

Interesting information on dispassion. As an INFP I struggle with this, obviously when you are a feeler, the depth of feeling is so intense, it's hard to just observe and not be swept by my feelings.

Thank you ❤ life altering comment.
Recently had a girl just ghost me after telling me how much she cares for me and how much she appreciates me and that she sees her self with me in the future . This hurt badly and some people out in this world are just cold and have no regard for other peoples emotions . This brought me clarity. I will continue to grow and not let lifes obstacles get in way instead I will climb over them.
@@kyle4722 you’re allowed your emotions but remember we are not our emotions. Give yourself a fair amount of time to grieve. Once you’ve healed, remember to not look for love and validation outside yourself. Love yourself first always. Pain is unavoidable in this life but we can choose how to react to it. Intend to transmute the negative emotions into positive ones. This will make you stronger as long as you don’t let it take you down. Also remember you’re a bad mfkr and you can overcome anything
I’m 23 and going through a really rough patch but listening to these videos make me understand life in a better way these videos are very powerful 💪🔥
@brianmcollough1385 I'm genuinely touched that the videos are having a positive impact on you, especially during a challenging time. Life can be tough, but Stoicism offers tools to navigate its ups and downs. Remember, every experience, good or bad, contributes to our growth. Do you have a favorite Stoic quote or teaching that you've come across that has helped you? Sending strength and positivity your way! 💪
Keep flowing with this beautiful life.. It will get.Better❤

Feed knowledge into your spirit. Never be close minded to get information from others places. It empowers you. The Real 1.
Going through two decades of worsening hardships and finally reaching a point where everything is quite stable and peaceful. Going through all that made me stoic without me even knowing what it is until recently. The thing I struggle with is emotion control towards a certain topic and I have a constant lingering anger and hatred in the back of my mind. I want to get rid of the emotion while keeping the knowledge. I already taught myself how to control anxiety and crippling stress, but the lingering hatred and anger are very tough to crack.
Mastering my emotions has become my number one goal. I have anger issues and definitely respond too much with emotion. What I struggle with while watching this is when its appropriate to step back, pause and consider something said or done was not intentional or would have such an impact, to understanding the words or action were intentional and demand an immediate response. Interactions with people can be such a mind game, how you react can say more than how you don't react, whether that be a pause or a reaction. quick banter and wit to defuse the situation or even put you on top of the situation eludes me and adds to my anger and emotional response. It takes me too long to respond in these situations which makes the outcome even worse. The best I can do is remain silent while I'm ready to choke the person out on the inside. The idea of controlling my emotions is a daunting task and pushes me to be recluse and isolated...easier said than done....but working at it....
@earl81ful
Thank you for your openness and vulnerability in sharing your personal challenges, Earl. 🙏 Emotions, especially intense ones like anger, can be incredibly overwhelming, and it's commendable that you're striving for mastery over them. Stoicism teaches us that it's not the events themselves, but our judgments about them, that cause our feelings. But understanding that conceptually and applying it in the heat of the moment are two different things. Have you tried any specific Stoic exercises or meditations to help you during those moments when emotions surge? Remember, every step you take towards self-improvement, no matter how small, is progress. Keep pushing forward, and know that this community is here for support! 💪✨
@@stoicbond I have just started my journey of control. I know I need to get it done but it's also a daunting task. I appreciate the channel and will keep working on it.
I can relate to your comment, I feel the same way. I've had anger issues most of my life, and now at 45 just beat breast cancer, I want to taper my attitude and not get upset by people's words or actions towards me, I used to put my hands on people my attitude was horrible, I would get mad and take offense to anything, living in Chicago, dealing with slick, game runners kept me on edge. But being diagnosed with cancer has given me the IDC attitude, I just want to control my actions and emotions 😢😢😢
@@AngeLola1003 That's great to hear you beat breast cancer!! I hope it stays away for good! The fact that you recognize how you are and how you want to be is the first step, in my humble opinion of walking the same path. My biggest problem is the speed at which I go from nothing to full honey badger, tearing someones head off. Its bad...I keep telling myself to take a breath but my hot head won't let me most times, then I regret it....keep after it!
@@earl81ful God will deliver us from evil. We need to realize we are dealing with demonic spirits that want us to stoop to their level.
My approach is: every event is a lesson or an opportunity this means there is always a positive outcome 😉
Journaling has helped me tremendously throughout my life to navigate my inner world and emotions. To think I started journaling in 4th grade as a way to get my emotions out, I fell in love with writing and reading. I continue to journal as an adult and I have seen my life play out in ways and I can go back in my journal and see where I was at mentally. It’s a great tool, an outlet, and a motivator to becoming the best version of myself.
Each Stoic lesson offers a unique perspective on mastering emotions, especially the insights on control and reflection. If you're on a journey to self-improvement, these lessons are golden. They're not just theories; they're life-changers. Anyone else feel the same?
I do its helping me in so many ways. Just allowing me to gain information that will only give me strength,wisdom, courage, to reflect and find solutions to better myself. Thank you 💝
❤
I'm 20 years old and still struggling to control my anger. It often overwhelms me. I'm seeking help because I want to change, not just for myself but for my girlfriend. We recently broke up, and it's all my fault. I feel like a burden to everyone. I want to change, but I'm struggling with my emotions, and I'm holding myself back from being better. I'm hoping this can help me improve and change my life.
We are one in the same brother. We can achieve our goals
Being in a state of gratitude no matter the circumstances in life is very powerful
Amen 🙌🏿🙏🏿
Stocism is helping me tremendously with my kratom addiction. Listening to the teachers of great philosophy and acceptance is a powerful way leading to recovery.
Just told someone about the idea of focusing on what you have vs what you lack!!! So powerful! It has truly helped navigate my mind to more positive things 🥰
I just hope and pray that the young ones who are coming up will be very attentive to God and pray for a better life ahead of them.
May the good Lord guide us forever not to be in the dark Amen.

"Change those things we have the ability to change and sit down, pour a cup of coffee and enjoy yourself when there are things you can't change."
My father repeatedly gave me this belief: "Don't look at as a problem. A problem is an opportunity of change and improvement. If it remains a problem, it the becomes a challenge to make it an opportunity. "
Journaling has always been a challenge for me. But I'm receiving assistance that will force me to do it.
Very good video!
Mastering the control of emotions, especially in high-pressure environments, is a vital skill I often emphasize on my channel. This video, promising to unveil 7 stoic secrets, aligns perfectly with the principles I advocate for. I am eager to dive into these stoic secrets and encourage others to do the same, fostering a community of individuals striving for emotional intelligence. Thank you for this resource! 🌟
Thank you so much, @thegutterguy404! 🙌 It's great to hear from fellow content creators who share similar values and insights. Emotional intelligence, especially in challenging situations, is indeed a game-changer, and I'm thrilled that you're advocating for it on your channel. 🌟 Let's continue to uplift and educate our communities together! Out of curiosity, which of the 7 stoic secrets do you find the most valuable for fostering emotional intelligence? 🤔💭
@@stoicbond Stoic principles have truly been a game-changer for me, especially the one about reflecting before acting. It's amazing how taking a moment to think before I act has had a positive impact on my business and channel. It's like having a built-in compass for making better decisions. How about you? Any Stoic principle that resonates with you or any other viewers out there?" 🤔🚀
Absolutely, @thegutterguy404! Reflecting before acting is truly a powerful principle, and it's awesome to hear how it's positively influenced your business and channel. 🚀 For me, the principle of "Amor Fati" or loving one's fate has been monumental. Embracing whatever comes our way and treating every moment, whether positive or negative, as something to learn from has been transformative.
@@stoicbond anyway we all appreciate the videos and thanks for the comment it has me rewatching the video now
Thank you very much for this helpful video 😊
One month sober. These videos help me push through. I’m grateful to have found these and the effort you put into them or
I absolutely love how this video breaks down the stoic principles into practical lessons. The idea that we can control our reactions to events rather than the events themselves is such a powerful reminder. It's really helping me navigate daily stress with a calmer mindset. Anyone else trying to apply these lessons?
I am not sure about anyone else but …These videos are helping me beyond words!
THANK YOU for uploading them ❤
Me too they are such a source of inspiration and ACTION.
Facts
I’m always grateful every day and maintain a positive outlook on life, to adapt rather than react. However, lately, I’ve met someone who has really affected my heart. He’s a true stoic, always calm and almost nonchalant about everything, and I find myself deeply attracted to him. I’ve grown so attached that I don’t want to let him go. If he leaves me, I understand it’s out of my control, but It will be really sad.
I listened to the videos you had uploaded, and then seeking more content I watched other channels and it’s really not the same. Your voice, metaphors, all of it is really great. Keep at it, and thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for subscribing, @tobiasolausson8085! 🙏 Your feedback means a lot. It's heartening to know that the content and presentation resonate with you. Is there a specific topic or concept you'd like to see covered in future videos? 😊🤔
@@stoicbond
Are all the other channels I am subscribing to yours also?? Damn, I may have a little more time than some but there are tons of these channels 😮
I can't get away from these stoics. Activate the bell. Heavens bells.
This is the best thing to happen in my life lately
I'm genuinely touched that the content has resonated with you in such a meaningful way. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Out of curiosity, which Stoic principle or habit has had the most impact on you? 🌟
I never practiced gratitude until I got sober and joined AA, but I see how much it does change my outlook over time. I really loved the journaling perspective in the other video & how it can be used for wisdom & notice our patterns. I always had a rough time knowing how to journal even though I’m super introspective & articulate. Thank you for these! I want to play them in headphones while I sleep lol
Shavonne, your journey with gratitude and sobriety is truly inspiring. I'm glad you found value in the journaling perspective. It's a powerful tool for introspection. Given your articulate nature, journaling can be a beautiful way to channel your insights. Do you think there are other Stoic practices that could complement your gratitude journey and recovery? 🌱📖 And thank you for the kind words - listening during sleep is quite a compliment! 😊
One of the hardest things in the world is to be kind to the unkind
@calvinholt5242 Calvin, you've touched on a deep and essential truth. Being kind to those who might not show the same in return is a genuine test of character. Stoicism teaches us to control our reactions and to understand that others act based on their judgments and beliefs. How do you practice kindness in the face of adversity? And have any Stoic teachings aided you in maintaining that stance? Your insight is valuable to all of us. Thank you for sharing! 🍃
This use to be hard for me but now it's a lot easier because it's easier to be kind than unkind.
Thank You 🙏✝️🙏♥️
I was so stoic and driven and emotionally controlled in the most powerful way. I got Covid twice , the stress of living alone , life has been out of my control and I am incredibly sensitive emotionally and go thru period of depression and getting out of it. I just pray to god to feel in control and in my alpha state again.
Hey @R93m, thanks for watching the video and sharing your experience with us! It's great to hear that you were able to apply stoic principles to stay emotionally controlled in tough times. 🙌
I can only imagine how challenging it must have been to go through Covid twice and live alone. 😔 It's completely normal to feel sensitive and experience periods of depression during such uncertain times. But remember, stoicism teaches us to focus on what we can control and let go of what we can't. 🧘♂️
I'm curious, what specific stoic lessons have helped you the most during these tough times? 🤔 Let's keep the conversation going and share our experiences with each other!
You will and I love you. I'm here and I love learning and hearing about other's lives.

"Today could be the best day of my life. - Let me share it with style and grace.

Well... in terms of lessons that resonated the most: number 2, to reflect before reacting, and number 4, to ask whether it'll matter in 5 years. Both for different reasons, though.
Reflecting is what I'm struggling with at the moment. Didn't use to, though. In my college years, I had fine control over my mental state and practised visualisations on a near-daily basis, slow breaths and everything. But then something happened and it appears to have eroded my resistance. I started getting emotional over movies that didn't bother me before, getting short of breath despite not changing anything about my exercise or diet... I suspect it was due to a shock in relation to my sleeping schedule along with sugar and caffeine intake (one outside of my control, long story), but it messed up my ability to visualise and meditate, and I've not managed to get quite back to my old level. As a result, some comments just set my heart rate off, or topics get me blurting out things I shouldn't. Been like that for ten-odd years now. Number 2 is what I need to work on for the future. I'm a practising chaoist, so some of these resonated a little differently than most. Chaotism advocates for journalling, too, and studying yourself, and I quote 'like a predator studies its prey.' Still not sure what to do about this issue, but I'm trying different options at the moment. Hopefully one will take.
Number 4, though, is what is evident from the past. Five years ago I was struggling hard, just out of college and not getting any job prospects, no help from government agencies who took two years to realise that yes, I actually was entitled to a little help. Took a temp job that absolutely wrecked me for three weeks, took a course that took a year, took a gamble with one of the agencies who were interested, and now I have a job that has nothing to do with what I spent eight years in college for. And yet, as much as the job can get on my nerves sometimes, I realised shortly after getting it that it's my dream job. We had to get some analyses done personality-wise and it genuinely put some things into perspective, some useful lessons came out of that. Now I do work that aligns with my basic character traits, I'm not going against my nature, I'm using some of my negative traits constructively. And I'm good at it, I get positive feedback on a regular basis. If you'd told me five years ago that I'd be doing the work I'm doing now, and that I'd be appreciated for it, I'd have told you you're nuts. People believed in me, and my rational self couldn't believe why. But I'm now four years into this job, and I'm one of the success stories of my department. I say that not to brag, but to illustrate: there are some crazy things that can happen in five years. You can go from hopeless to top of your game and building a career and becoming proficient in a field you don't even realise exists in five years.
I guess the lesson on control is something I took to heart since then, too, but in a different sense: you can't control the outcome of the die roll, but you do have control over how often you can roll the dice. You can't control whether you'll luck out, but you do control when you stop pursuing an avenue, or accept another one.
Wow, @RaichuWizDom, thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and detailed reflection on your journey. 🙏 It sounds like you've had quite the transformative experiences over the years. Your insight into both the importance of reflection and the unpredictable nature of life's outcomes are invaluable.
It's impressive how you've managed to find a role that aligns with your core traits, even when it wasn't what you initially expected or studied for. That's a testament to adaptability and resilience. And as for the struggles with reflection and control, it's an ongoing journey, and it seems like you have a deep awareness of where you've been and where you want to go.
Given your background in Chaotism and its emphasis on self-study, do you think there are specific Stoic practices or lessons that could be beneficially integrated into your current approach to personal growth and introspection? 🤔
@@stoicbond Learning to let go is a big one. Taking the victories you get and not feeling the need to pursue further towards the next step immediately. 'Stop complaining' is another big one, though that's something of a social thing in my circles.

The imagery in these videos, the narrator, and the music make it easier for me to focus on the messages. These are video masterpieces.

Never stop seeking wisdom. Such a wonderful blessing.
Hey @Allegro1, I'm so glad you found value in the video! 🙌🏼 It's always a pleasure to hear from viewers who are passionate about stoicism. 🧘🏻♂️ Have you tried applying any of these stoic lessons in your own life? I'd love to hear about your experiences and how it has helped you control your emotions. Keep seeking wisdom and never stop learning! 📚
@@stoicbond Hey and thank you for your videos. From my experience I have understood one thing: virtue is a reward in itself and a great blessing. Second, it's not the things but our reactions that make us unhappy. Each day we have rendezvous with destiny and write our story of life, either happy or sad. Do we live in alignment with our principles? That's the question and solutions to all the problems which may possibly arise. Wisdom, generosity and kindness that's what humanity needs. Thank you for your support and sharing your wisdom. Keep shining 🌟
The concept of practicing dispassion might seem counterintuitive at first, but the way it's explained in the video makes perfect sense. It's not about suppressing emotions but rather about finding balance and perspective in our responses to life's ups and downs. Cultivating dispassion allows us to engage with the world more sustainably and navigate conflicts with grace. Truly a valuable lesson for modern living.
Incredible content! The lesson on reflecting before reacting hit home. It's such a powerful reminder to pause and understand our emotions before responding. I'll definitely start practicing this daily.
Peace and blessings to you along the journey
Being so emotional and sensitive has become so draining I’ve hit a point where I am just so emotionally burnt out.
I definitely will be meditating on these 7 stoic lessons everyday to build up my EQ!
The part that resonated with me the most was “a failed relationship might pave the way for personal growth and self discovery.” That is where my journey to self awareness begins (:
I love these videos. They bring peace and tranquility in my life. I am no longer in a hurry to do anything. I do just one thing at a time and think before I act or make decision. I just want to do one important thing and no more on any day.
Hey @alexb.471! 🤗 Thank you for watching the video and sharing your thoughts! It's amazing to hear that it has brought peace and tranquility into your life. 🙏🏼 Stoicism is all about finding inner peace and focusing on what truly matters. 🧘🏼♂️ I love that you're taking the time to do just one important thing each day. 🌅 It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, but by slowing down and being intentional with our actions, we can truly make a difference. 🌟

This truly brought me some clarity after having such a bad day. I will take the bad days as a test of my patience and reflection . Thank you.
For Christmas I bought 3 books "The Stoic Path" by Rodolfo Costa, "Meditations Marcus Aurelius Classical Translation by George Long and Seneca-Letters from a Stoic. I am just starting to read them. They go into much more detail from these great videos. Dealing with emotions is hard for me. I grew up not being allowed to express anything so now I just keep things bottled up until it hurts or they come out. I'm learning to stop myself from overacting taking a deep breath think for a moment then respond. I've been practicing daily mindfulness meditation for over 10 years now. It really does make a difference

I recently started learning about the stoic mindset and it makes the most sense out of other phillosophys and religions i've read about. you becomes your "purpus" in life, and that you is a wise, strong, resiliant, content and caring man who walks on earth unfazed by the distractions and challenges that life has to offer.

Thank you, @kassahunsinkneh9072! 😊 It's always the goal to make Stoic teachings applicable in our everyday lives. Out of the lessons presented, did any particular one resonate more with you or is there an area of Stoicism you'd like to explore deeper? 🤔
I've watched all manner of channels regarding stoic teaching and it is refreshing to see a video that is not completely inundated with hyper-masculine body imagery. It's nice to see some of the more philosophical imagery here. It is very satisfying that the message is based purely and solely on the philosophies and teachings of stoicism, getting right to the heart of the message without muddying the waters or attempting to use click-baity imagery or titles.
In my humble opinion you make the very best stoic related content on RUclips, keep up the good work.

@@stoicbond You're very welcome. I sincerely hope you keep on putting out material that is of the same standard!
The most valuable lesson I have taken so far has been the act of journaling. It is perhaps the most overlooked of all the aspects of stoicism. People look to the act of writing down their own thoughts and feel that it somehow shows a sign of weakness or vulnerability. Being a straight white male myself the same is true of the notion of therapy or counselling amongst my friends and colleagues. In the same way that nearly everyone can benefit from therapy, I also believe everyone can also benefit from writing a journal. It is a safe space in which to air your thoughts, reflections and anxieties. The act of putting them to paper or typing it up onto a screen allows you to examine your thoughts and how you feel about them in a detached manner. It promotes a much deeper understanding of what it is that your true genuine self wants, and through that understanding strong affirmative actions can be taken. I can honestly say that I am a happier, healthier, stronger man by keeping a daily journal.
Thank you for sharing such a personal and insightful perspective. It's profound to see how the simple act of journaling can have a transformative effect on one's life.
The misconceptions surrounding journaling, therapy, and other forms of self-reflection and self-expression can indeed be stifling, especially when societal pressures or stereotypes deem them as signs of weakness. It's heartening to see individuals like you challenging these norms and recognizing the true value in these practices.
Your observation about journaling as a 'safe space' is particularly resonant. By documenting our thoughts, we grant ourselves an opportunity not just to reflect, but also to observe our patterns, growth, and areas of improvement. Over time, as you mentioned, this fosters deeper self-awareness and paves the way for positive change.
Thank you for highlighting the significance of journaling within the context of Stoicism and more broadly in personal growth. Your testimony is a reminder of the power of introspection and the importance of cultivating it in our daily lives.
Wishing you continued clarity and growth on your journey. 📖✍🌱@@jackwilding4990

It's always a delight to see fellow creators spreading positivity. How do you think the principles of Stoicism align with maintaining such a positive and tranquil outlook? Sending gratitude and light your way! 🌟🙏🌼
These lessons have been really eye opening to me. I’ve never been the type to think before I speak and have said hurtful things to those I love I’ve followed and hit the bell I’m looking forward to adding all of these lessons to my life.
Thank you for subscribing and hitting the bell, @TheRealDirtyDan94! 🛎️ It's commendable that you're recognizing areas of growth and seeking to make positive changes. We all have moments where we wish we had paused before reacting. The journey to self-improvement is ongoing, and I'm honored to be a part of yours. Out of the lessons discussed, which one do you think will be the most challenging for you to implement? 🤔
Same. These were presented in a way that really stuck with me and I can't explain it. The last two weeks my girlfriend has been much happier. I mean I've listen to Jordan Peterson and guys like that but for some reason just the way this is just so simple where is cool images of cool voice and examples along with the quotes
CBT techniques in practice .. very useful examples. Thank you
@mariazetta7209
Thank you for watching and highlighting the connection between CBT techniques and Stoicism! 🌟 It's fascinating how modern psychology often parallels ancient wisdom. Do you have a favorite CBT technique that aligns with Stoic principles? Would love to hear more about your perspective. Keep exploring and growing! 💭
What is the difference between CBT and DBT?
Incredible video. Full of incredible insights. Wishing everyone watching peace, love and abundance ❤
Amen and Thank You ❤
I'm grateful to have access to your videos. I have been struggling with reaction and now I understand that I have to reflect before I act. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Connie. 🌟 Reflection before reaction is indeed a cornerstone of Stoicism and can bring so much peace and clarity to our lives. Remember, it's a practice, and every day is a new opportunity to cultivate it further. Have there been specific situations recently where you've tried to implement this? I'd love to hear more about your experiences and insights. Thanks for being a part of our community and for engaging with the content!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Words of wisdom to inculcate into our daily lives, touched my emotions as verified by recent personal events.
@bernadettemassiah4572 It's heartening to hear that the content resonated with you, especially in light of recent personal events. Remember, the Stoic journey is as much about community and shared experiences as it is about individual introspection. If you're comfortable, would you like to share any insights or lessons you've drawn from these events? Your journey could be a beacon for others navigating similar challenges. 🌟
Thank you, thank you, thanks. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Good teaching, I especially appreciated the part about recognizing whether something is within your ability to change it or if it’s an opportunity to practice acceptance.
Wisdom.
Soooo glad I stumble upon this.
I can speak to the efficacy of reflecting on events that might not have an effect in 5 years time.
My mother passed away over 5 years ago, and the event was devastating for me. I failed out of law school (and since recently graduated), my family life was rocky due to outside circumstances, but I persevered.
My wife and I now have a new challenge (raising my brother-in-law’s kids while he is in rehab) and we continue to persevere through challenges together
@ckelly19841, first and foremost, thank you for subscribing and sharing such a personal and touching story. 🙏 Your resilience and strength, especially in the face of significant adversity, are truly inspiring. ❤️ It's incredible how the Stoic perspective can offer solace during the toughest times. I'm glad to hear that you and your wife are standing strong together through all challenges. How do you think Stoicism, or perhaps another philosophy, has played a part in your ability to persevere and find purpose during these times? 🤔
Listen carefully to those children. They are in your lives as messengers. Your valor will be well rewarded.
God bless this one with love amen 🙏❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Hi @AngelChavez-up7mg! 🙌
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video on stoicism and found it helpful! 😊 It's always great to hear from viewers who are passionate about this philosophy. 🧘♂️
I'm curious, which of the 7 stoic lessons resonated with you the most? 🤔 I'd love to hear your thoughts and continue the conversation! 💬
Wishing you love and inner peace on your journey towards stoicism! ❤️ Keep striving for emotional control and growth. 🌱
I, more and more, admire these philosofies of Life! 😍
And...it makes me reflect that, in my middle century life...what have I been reading??
This is what matters!
hank you for watching and sharing your thoughts, @niceice33! 🌟 It's never too late to dive into the wisdom of Stoicism and let it shape our life's journey. I'm so glad it's resonating with you. Is there a particular Stoic teaching or philosopher you're keen to explore more of? Your journey is just beginning, and I'm excited for you! 📚
I love how we can’t control the wind, we can adjust our sails ❤
Such wonderful insights into what’s needed in life’s tricky situations teaches me a lot on how to reflect and think before reacting. Love your wisdom and very grateful for this inspiration in navigating life’s trials x love from Ireland 🇮🇪
@EmpressMMK Thank you so much for the kind words and love from Ireland! 🇮🇪 It's heartening to hear that the content has been beneficial in navigating life's trials. The Stoic practice of pausing before reacting is indeed powerful. Since you mentioned reflection, do you have any personal techniques or rituals from Irish culture or otherwise that complement Stoic practices? Would love to learn from your experiences! 🍀💭🌍
For me instead of focusing on acceptance I focus on knowing that I will be taken care of. This seems easier for me as acceptance can seem like a lot of work.Knowing sends out that vibration of abundance that then comes back to you. In my experience anyway 😊
I start my day with a yoga session while listening to this,THANKS!
That sounds like a serene way to begin the day! Thanks for watching and incorporating the content into your routine. How do you feel Stoic teachings complement your yoga practice? 🧘♀️
@@stoicbond It grounds me and prepares me for my day; I'm a high school teacher and it takes patience and a certain amount of detachment in my decision process with the students.
Thank you, this is priceless.❤️🙏☀️
You're very welcome, @patricianaraindutt2475! 🙏 Your feedback warms my heart. ❤️ I'm delighted that the content resonated with you. ☀️ Is there a specific Stoic lesson you've applied in your life that made a significant difference? 🤔🍃
Within 36 seconds I liked and subscribed, now pressure is on you!
I love stoicism !
Hey @martin.paul001! 🤗 Thank you for the support and for subscribing! 🙏🏼 I'm glad you love stoicism too! 😊 Have you been practicing any of the 7 stoic lessons in your daily life? 🤔 Let's continue to learn and grow together! 💪🏼 Keep me updated on your stoic journey! 🚀
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. This words of foresight have help me so so much. Thank you thank you. Im practicing every lesson now and forever until my last breath, last beat, and last cell dies an epic way. Thank you.
Hey @armyoftwo13, thank you for watching the video and for your kind words! It's great to hear that the stoic lessons are helping you. 🙏 Have you noticed any changes in how you handle your emotions since practicing them? Keep up the good work! 💪
@@stoicbond yes I have. When people make a negative comment or criticize me, I notice I won’t get trigger as easily as I use too. I also took a cold shower yesterday after running 3 miles, at first it was painful, then my body adapt. After that moment, I knew I can endure anything with a strong mind. Journal my thoughts, emotions, and expectations of myself have help so so much. It really is therapeutic when you have your thoughts jot down on your journal and reflect. Im trying to practice pausing more and reflective on what the person said and what I’m about to say. It’s been difficult I won’t lie. Catching yourself at that very moment is very difficult. I have my whole life ahead of me to master this skill. I honestly can’t wait to pass this down to my children, my father didn’t know how to control his emotions, let alone help me navigate my own. Thank you for this videos, I greatly appreciate them, honestly, you save a lot of men and women with your voice and the ancient stoic philosophy. Thank you.
Priceless jewels of wisdom 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much, @slitheryserpent5949! 🙏🏾 Your appreciation means a lot. Which of the Stoic lessons resonated most deeply with you? 🤔
Marcus Aurelius really hit the nail on the head with 'you have power over your mind, not outside events.' It's a simple concept, yet it's so powerful when you actually apply it in daily life. I've started using this mindset at work, especially during stressful projects, and it's amazing how much more control I feel I have. Does anyone else have similar experiences where applying Stoic principles has made a noticeable difference in your life?
I used to think these Stoic principles were just nice-sounding but unproven theories. Then, I decided to test a few of them in my own life as an experiment. Every time I fully embraced one of these ideas and made it a part of who I am, my life improved dramatically. I was amazed by the changes. It even affected my relationships-some people drifted away, while others grew stronger and deeper alongside me.
I really appreciate this video as I am looking to master my emotions, whereby, they will have a positive effect on my life, my finances, my health, my mental capacity, spirit, and people around me.
Wow, Thank You for this amazing content and delivery. Your command of words and metaphors reminds me of the ultra articulate Jordan Peterson.
After listening to the first lesson i paused to share this with loved ones... so glad i did!
Invaluable
Thank you again !
Thank you so much for your kind words, @robnorcia3818! I'm truly humbled by the comparison to someone as articulate as Jordan Peterson. Sharing knowledge, especially with our loved ones, is one of the most fulfilling aspects of this journey. Out of curiosity, which part of the lesson resonated the most with you and your loved ones? Your feedback is invaluable as well. Gratitude! 🙏📖🌟
Yeah I thought of Jordan Peterson also accepts not going off on a tangent so much and so fast
Wow, this video is so insightful! I've always struggled with controlling my emotions, but these 7 stoic lessons really make sense. It's amazing how much wisdom can be found in ancient teachings. I'll definitely be applying these secrets to my daily life. Thank you for sharing this valuable information!
Who ever is watching this video i hope u get stronger this year 2024
Thank you for this concise stimulating list.
Thank you for tuning in, Jerry! Glad you found the list stimulating. 🙌 Which of the seven lessons resonated the most with you or seemed the most challenging to implement? Curious to know your thoughts! 💭📘
Now start listening and seems good and positive so far, will continue.
Thank you.
These videos are part of my morning routine. Much love for the content fam
@jacoblowery8263 Jacob, it's an honor to be a part of your morning routine! Creating a solid foundation at the start of the day can set the tone for everything that follows. Out of curiosity, which Stoic lesson has had the most impact on your mornings so far? Keep shining and thank you for your ongoing support! 🌞
@@stoicbond for me the breathing well and being in the moment help run off my anxieties 💯
So well explained, simple and effective. Knowledge sometimes is timeless. The ancient philosophers already had a very conscious mind, and what they said then still takes strong effect and logic today. Subtle but powerful ways to gain control of our mental and physical health.
Reflect before action will save us from making huge mistakes in life
Public comment. God bless you. Powerful words of wisdom.
Greaaat video ❤❤❤

@maryannestewart2384 Absolutely, life experience often brings depth and wisdom that's invaluable. Thank you for sharing that insight! 🤗 Since you've accumulated wisdom over the years, are there any Stoic teachings that particularly resonate with life lessons you've personally learned? It's always enriching to hear how these ancient principles align with individual life journeys! 🌳

I ha e just discovered stoastism,and by the Gods I feel like this is what my life has been missing .I'm so eager to learn all that I can .
I think this video just saved my life.
Interesting information on dispassion. As an INFP I struggle with this, obviously when you are a feeler, the depth of feeling is so intense, it's hard to just observe and not be swept by my feelings.
Hit home #2 Reflect B 4 Reacting. Definitely would of been my saving grace in many situations.
Learning every date to focus on the present instead of the future.
Great speech I enjoyed the end aswell gratuity rains Supreme!
Health is health is the new wealth..
If only This would get as much play as music, I can only imagine how different the world would be.
You bring up an intriguing point! Imagine if philosophical teachings were as popular as hit songs. How do you think society might change if Stoic principles were mainstream knowledge? Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Let's dream and discuss! 🌍🤔
This video brings up some really thought-provoking points
