@@StoicAmee can U help with how to deal with pride I feel it in my heart really hard, like it's heavy, when I try to meditate even if I concentrate on deep breathing I don't get in there
@@CaesarJulius-xw6ge Pride, when it feels heavy in your heart, is often a signal that something within you seeks validation or control over things beyond your influence. Stoic philosophy teaches us that true freedom comes from letting go of what lies outside our control, including how others perceive us or how we perceive ourselves in comparison to them. When you meditate, instead of just focusing on breathing, silently remind yourself of a Stoic mantra like, 'This too shall pass,' or 'I am not disturbed by things, but by the view I take of them.' This helps anchor your mind and heart in the present. Remember, pride is a challenge but also an opportunity to grow. The heaviness you feel now is a sign that you are aware of it-and awareness is the first step toward transformation
