I used to be bullied a great deal when I was young. The best words my grandfather gave me before he passed was, if you spend all your time worrying about what others think and do you'll never enjoy anything. I try to view my day to day situations on that fact.
@Piscesmermaid Thank you. I lost my grandfather when I was very young. He was the strongest man I had ever known. He once told me, if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything. I was watching the movie Sucker Punch a few years back, when I heard that line in the movie. We all really do have people, moments, and daily elements, whether it be friends, family, God, the universe trying to help guide us all if we allow it. Thank you and have a great holiday.
I was bullied as a child too. As an adult I realized something similar to what your grandfather said. For me it was, “if you keep allowing other people’s actions to control your emotions, you’ll never be happy. You have got to stop this or your life will never get better.” ❤
@@mercifulmermaidtarot2630 Thank you. Inherently I believe if we choose, being bullied in our youth can take us from feeling broken to empowered. It helps give us a sort of super hero power to sort out the fakes.
Five Rules to Detach Yourself from Someone: 1- All Relationships are Transient, the more you try to keep them the faster they will leave. 2- Master your Emotions, You have power of your mind. The soul becomes dyed by the color of its thoughts. 3- Preparing Your Mind how to stay Calm if something goes wrong, Loss is a Natural way of Life. 4- Focus on what you can Control, you can’t control other people’s Emotions about you, therefore Detach yourself. Stop wasting your Energy. 5- Think of a Bigger Picture. Will this pain matter in five years from now? Life moves on so do You. Everything in Life is Transient. Life is much larger than any single person.
I needed to hear this today. Have a friend that is slowly pulling away from me and yesterday I texted them and they responded 10hrs later. I started thinking of all the scenarios to make me try to figure out why. I finally had the thought that I guess I don't mean the same to them as they do to me so I made the decision to step away from it as to not drive myself crazy thinking about it. People come and go in your life and it is what it is
As a human being we should accept the truth that nothing is permanent , if we accept then we can manage all heart breaking situations . It’s hard but fact .
Informative video. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let him go i did all i could to get him back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring him back
I loved how this video presented Marcus Aurelius’ stoic philosophy not just as theory, but as practical advice that can be immediately applied to our relationships. The point about understanding the impermanence of life hit home for me-once we accept that people, situations, and feelings change, we can release the unnecessary emotional weight. This mindset shift is so powerful and really helps us live in the present moment without clinging too tightly to attachments that no longer serve us.
I want you to know this was right on time for me . I’ve been in this emotional cycle since I was a little girl . This has changed my perspective of things I can’t control nor the outcome of a situation.
I had serious issues with angry thoughts and outbursts most of my life. After the service I came across the writings of the Buddha. Just letting go of the past and peaceful meditations on impermanence has changed my life. Negative thoughts just vanish away now as fast as they come.
I needed to hear this. I've been trying to break ties with a friend for 4 years because of their constant negativity. Thank you so much. God bless you.
The concept of negative visualization was eye-opening. By preparing ourselves for inevitable losses, we gain emotional strength. Such a practical, yet often overlooked, tool.
This is great. I'm able to easily glide in and out of emotions. I don't overthink nor discount things. I take everything as it is. I also don't open up to everything.
Just what i needed to hear. My relationship has come to an end i should have left many months ago but let my emotions control me when i need to control whats in front of me. Thank you for this im learning that not everything needs to remain the same, i can move on i can and i will.
Very good explanation! ❤️ Ine has to imagine every word and the content of each frace to really understand and then act. You are just yourself nobody is going to fix your life, but you alone! ❤️
I love how this video blends practical advice with ancient wisdom. The Stoic rules to emotionally detach are not only effective for navigating difficult relationships but also for building long-term emotional strength. This is definitely something I’ll be implementing in my life moving forward!
This was pure gold my fellow stoic, Thank you so much for this, Pain is inevitable, Suffering is optional, Emotional detachment, Calm inner Peace is bliss, Peace, love and respect to you and everyone, Thank you universe, All glory power praise and smile's to the most high :-) :-) :-)
I completely agree with you! Its such a powerful reminder that while pain is part of life, we have the power to choose how we respond to it. Emotional detachment isnt about shutting off our feelings, but about gaining control over how we let them affect us. It can be difficult, but its so rewarding when we start to cultivate that inner peace. How do you personally practice emotional detachment in your life, especially when faced with difficult emotions?
@TheStoicBeacon-TGG Thank you for your reply and kindness, I love your message, Thank you :-) Absolutely tremendous, I don't emotionally react to everything, I'm calm and I'm guided by reason, Logic, Etc, Have a pleasant day my fellow Stoic, Peace, love and respect to you :-)
This lesson is amazing. I will try very, very hard to accept it. I also know the pain of losing my soulmate will sting for the rest of my life but I will learn to not tie myself to it.
I agree with the perspective that emotional detachment, as Marcus Aurelius teaches, is not about shutting down emotions but about cultivating clarity and inner peace. The reminder to focus on what we can control and embrace impermanence resonates deeply. Learning to let go of outcomes we can't dictate frees us from unnecessary suffering and empowers us to build stronger emotional resilience. Thank you for sharing these timeless Stoic rules-they offer valuable insights for navigating relationships and life's challenges.
Am practicing negative visualization. It exactly what I needed right now.its sure to strengthen my inner resilience. No matter what happens I will be okay.
I don't agree with the practice of negativity visualization. I believe we should practice detachment by knowing everything is impermanent. That's all. We are all energy and we don't want to draw negative energy towards us. Another important truth is knowing karma is real. Do good things only even a smallest good deeds.
Things only end if you let it end. Things only change if you let it change. You are in control. Things don’t just happen to you. I mean there are things out of your control, yes. But If you want a relationship or a friendship to last you make it last. You do your part, effort….. and water it like a plant. And it will keep going.
It’s a pleasure to hear this practice . I need it too . I being feeling really down because a break up in a relationship, maybe its was met to be. Help me to understand things that I didn’t understand before. I had to block a person I thought he was a friend which he was not . I shouldn’t be chasing after someone who don’t stand in my friend circle. I was wrong. I need help and I need to focus on my life , I need changes
❤ I learned a lesson the hard way, but I get it fully. I say everybody gets to be who they are. It’s not about being offended or anybody being deserving, it’s so you can see the truth 😊and be able to act on it for your own best interest
Still watching/listening to the video, but I resonate so much with. The victim mentality and to take control of what I can control. This is really good. I will comment more as I listen more. Blessings to all tuning in.
True When we mentally ready for everything which leave us , we can embrace the realit withput them ; when we loss people and opportunities easily. We have to under stand nothing is permanant.then nobody can manipulate us also.
Amazing clarity if communication! I've gone through all these experiences without realising what was really going on, until I got more mature and a litle more wiser studying all these subjects. And, the one that really hit me was the insight about the thoughts 💭 and that they create our feelings.... I was in a Monastery doing a walking meditation when i finally saw it!!!! And you just explained it so well. Thank you so much 🙏 Heartfully from Portugal 🇵🇹
Stoicism helps us stay calm and strong, even when we feel sad or hurt. It teaches us how to handle our feelings and keep control. If someone is unkind or if something makes us feel bad, these lessons show us how to stay peaceful inside. We can use Stoicism to feel clear and steady, even when things are hard.
Yet, sometimes it is our own actions or choices that end up hurting others to the point that they detach and leave. What would be the stoic way of confronting losses caused by our behavior towards others? And how do we recognize and accept the need to detach from a relationship, of any nature, because the actions of the other person were consciously harmful? Do we forgive and forget? Talk? Accept defeat and keep going on their terms? Prevent further damage? How? People that caused conscious damage are bound to protect their reputation by telling others their own version of the story, where they didn't cause any damage. What is the stoic way of dealing with that? I'm rather interested to know. Thanks!
Such a powerful and practical video! The wisdom of Marcus Aurelius truly shines through these 5 Stoic rules. 🌟 It's amazing how Stoicism can help us find clarity and strength during emotional turbulence.
I'm really glad this video is helping you! Stoic principles like emotional detachment can really provide clarity in difficult situations. Have you found any particular rule or practice from Stoicism that resonates with you the most when dealing with emotions?
I thank you for this video. I have to admit it surprised me a little when you talked about negative visualization, because I recently heard of the visualization in the law of attraction, and practiced it a little too, occasionally, also heard several people swear it works wonders and everything, but to be completely honest I find this stoic version of the same thing quite more realistic and most of all helpful in everyday life, because it really helps you be prepared for anything, especially those things you cannot control. So, once again thank you very much and God bless 🙏🏼 I need to hear this right now.
Women especially require to practice negative visualisation that their Husband or Partner may leave. If a woman wants children this is of paramount importance. Never allow any person to be in a position over you whereby they can financially blackmail you Have your own source of income and be prepared to finance yourself - ALWAYS. Too many women take leave of their senses and permit themselves to become financially dependent
Holy friendships will never run its course. Light unites with light. The more time goes by, the more people shed the fluff to reveal who they really are. We are all scoundrels, unless God lives in us. If He does, we get better and better, if He does not, we get more and more dark inside. Pharaoh and Moses grew up together with joy and late night talks, but as Moses grew light and Pharaoh grew dark, they had to separate because light and darkness cannot unite. Your true friends and family are those you will spend eternity with. But separation will happen in this lifetime. I know… I miss my brother Pharaoh 😢☹️😞
I find that people who haven’t had stable, well adjusted, emotionally mature parents capable of empathy and unconditional love struggle the most to do the things suggested in this video. If you’ve been given the foundation of healthy self esteem and self worth, you will find it easier to be more resilient when others leave/reject you. So, my question for therapists is this: how do you create that foundation first, so that you can actually apply the stoic lessons in this video? Because I don’t see how any amount of therapy can ever make up for what someone’s parents didn’t do. If you have trauma from bad parenting, would you need to work on that first and heal sufficiently before you can apply stoic principles? Any therapists have any thoughts on this?
I swear you might be me in another person's body. At 41, this is still my daily conundrum and you articulated EXACTLY how I do, to myself and others. How do you heal from CPTSD (in my case, narcissistic abuse and my dad abandoning me to appease my mother that still goes on today, as I now worry about his health fading and losing him) without any kind of resolution with your parents? How do you heal that hole in your heart and self worth and reprogram your brain to function the way someone who grew up with some semblance of secure attachment would be capable of?
Because achieving a connection that can withstand life's inevitable changes(i.e., one with a quality of permanence), would necessarily have involved manifesting positive behaviour towards the loved person, and this behaving in a positive way then transforms that person into someone that behaves that way toward everyone-which of course, ultimately benefits humanity as a whole.
Overly attached to my 32 year old twin son's, as I allowed/volunteered myself to help them through life issues too quickly/easily. Now 1 son's GF is pregnant w/twins & they are naming 1 after her mother. To the curb I have been kicked in too many instances w/this son & his GF. Learning more very hard life lessons. Loving my children more than I loved myself has caused hellacious internal pain. Yes I would raise my children differently if I were to redo my life.
Wonderful imagery to use while expanding the stoic concepts for others to use. Using overly muscular imagery in stoicism videos can give the wrong idea about what stoicism is truly about. Stoicism focuses on values like wisdom, emotional resilience, and rational thinking-not physical strength or perfection. When content creators rely on hyper-masculine images, it risks misrepresenting stoicism by associating it with toxic masculinity and misleading viewers. This not only distorts the philosophy’s true focus but can also alienate those who might benefit from its teachings. For content creators, it’s crucial to understand that teaching a philosophy inaccurately or through misleading representations is dangerous and goes against stoic principles of truth, integrity, and self-awareness. Misrepresentation diminishes the accessibility of stoicism and undermines its inclusive, universal values. Stoicism teaches intellectual and moral growth, not shallow ideals of physical dominance. Creators should reflect this by choosing imagery that aligns with stoicism’s real teachings-helping viewers learn the philosophy as it was intended: a guide to inner strength and virtuous living.
Being stoic is definitely useful when things aren't going the right way but cause a disconnect with yourself when they do. There is no formula to being always in control, it's an illusion. Sometimes giving in brings the needed results.
As the old saying goes tell the truth and shame the devil. For 6 years I have been emotionally attached an intimately involved what's a person who shortly after the relationship start it, he constantly disrespected me, and didn't value me, and worse he put me to shame by burning me five times with his lifestyle of patronizing prostitutes after the second time I should have stopped being intimate with him! There is a such a thing as loving someone unconditionally but I went beyond that when I continue to have sex with this person.
RUN to a therapist, ASAP! YOU continue to have sex with a man who burned you???? YOU gave him permission to care absolutely nothing about you. A therapist can help you. Please go. 🙏🏽 I wish you the best.
I just want the pain to stop. I cant change the way I feel and I can’t change the way she does not feel. I just want my peace back as its been turmoil and anguish of soul for too damn long.
Everything everyone changes forthe worse or for the better, the constant thing in this Universe is Change. According to Einstein. Nothing is permanent. Energy can neither created nor destroyed it just takes another form. K
If Emotions are not Reality, which I find highly impossible, since the realm we are living in is driven by a high procentige of emotion compared to facts and actual reality, how do you explain the diferrence of emotional beliefs to events that are actual happening? If I feel an Emotion, to me it will be real because I feel it...., get it?! Just because someone with a mindset such as yours attempts to tell me that my emotions are either invalid, untrue or simply a figment of my imagination just shows me that You are the one that needs to be validated and shown that "stoicism" might not be the thing to search for!
I figured that I was'nt done arguing yet....I am fully aware of my feelings, emotions and why and how they came about. Had events happen, mostly sad and terrible, that made said emotions come about. Nobody can tell me my feelings are not real or that I can do better, just by believing in some "what ever you call it".....

People grow apart.
"Embrace impermanence." - Learning to accept that every connection is temporary helps us find peace within ourselves.
I just broke up with my gf, a 5yr-long relationship. This video has been invaluable to help me cope with the situation.
Why u broke up?
I don't need to know why, just know in this world someone like me is going through this too. My thoughts are with you brother
As a human being we should accept the truth that nothing is permanent , if we accept then we can manage all heart breaking situations . It’s hard but fact .

Her name is Shelly renee white , and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.

Thank you very much for the subject and subtitles!
Practicing negative visualization sounds odd, but it really does help prepare for life’s changes
This is basic but completely true.
This is an amazing video
This is sooo timely
Detachment is PEACE and freedom.

Absolutely loved this! The clarity you brought to stoic principles makes it easy to apply them in real-life relationships. Fantastic job!
So glad!
Stoicism helps us stay calm and strong, even when we feel sad or hurt. It teaches us how to handle our feelings and keep control. If someone is unkind or if something makes us feel bad, these lessons show us how to stay peaceful inside. We can use Stoicism to feel clear and steady, even when things are hard.
Yet, sometimes it is our own actions or choices that end up hurting others to the point that they detach and leave. What would be the stoic way of confronting losses caused by our behavior towards others?
And how do we recognize and accept the need to detach from a relationship, of any nature, because the actions of the other person were consciously harmful?
Do we forgive and forget? Talk? Accept defeat and keep going on their terms? Prevent further damage? How?
People that caused conscious damage are bound to protect their reputation by telling others their own version of the story, where they didn't cause any damage.
What is the stoic way of dealing with that? I'm rather interested to know. Thanks!

So, my question for therapists is this: how do you create that foundation first, so that you can actually apply the stoic lessons in this video? Because I don’t see how any amount of therapy can ever make up for what someone’s parents didn’t do. If you have trauma from bad parenting, would you need to work on that first and heal sufficiently before you can apply stoic principles? Any therapists have any thoughts on this?
I swear you might be me in another person's body. At 41, this is still my daily conundrum and you articulated EXACTLY how I do, to myself and others. How do you heal from CPTSD (in my case, narcissistic abuse and my dad abandoning me to appease my mother that still goes on today, as I now worry about his health fading and losing him) without any kind of resolution with your parents? How do you heal that hole in your heart and self worth and reprogram your brain to function the way someone who grew up with some semblance of secure attachment would be capable of?
Good Advice😊😅Thanks 🇺🇸 For Outstanding ✌️ Stoic Lectures 😅😅Attitude Of Gratitude 👌 👏 👍 😍 🙏 😊
Thankx Stoic needed this..great video
Glad you liked it!
Why chase permanence in relationships when Stoicism reaches us that life is constantly shifting?
The only constant in life is change 🥸
Because achieving a connection that can withstand life's inevitable changes(i.e., one with a quality of permanence), would necessarily have involved manifesting positive behaviour towards the loved person, and this behaving in a positive way then transforms that person into someone that behaves that way toward everyone-which of course, ultimately benefits humanity as a whole.
Very true. Impermanence is not a poor excuse for seeking only superficial, labile connections
Because within permanence we still change, but bend and flow with each other.

Love it feel great after the worest experience of my job
❤100% ur on track
Thank you🙌🏾
Our pleasure!
Overly attached to my 32 year old twin son's, as I allowed/volunteered myself to help them through life issues too quickly/easily. Now 1 son's GF is pregnant w/twins & they are naming 1 after her mother. To the curb I have been kicked in too many instances w/this son & his GF. Learning more very hard life lessons. Loving my children more than I loved myself has caused hellacious internal pain. Yes I would raise my children differently if I were to redo my life.
My thoughts to why did he not call and my mind twisted sideways and there was nothing wrong he worked late. Wow! I was totally traumatized by thought.
Wise
I really appreciate this
I’m to blame for my own unhappiness.
Amazing 😮
Thanks 😄
Wonderful imagery to use while expanding the stoic concepts for others to use.
Using overly muscular imagery in stoicism videos can give the wrong idea about what stoicism is truly about. Stoicism focuses on values like wisdom, emotional resilience, and rational thinking-not physical strength or perfection. When content creators rely on hyper-masculine images, it risks misrepresenting stoicism by associating it with toxic masculinity and misleading viewers. This not only distorts the philosophy’s true focus but can also alienate those who might benefit from its teachings.
For content creators, it’s crucial to understand that teaching a philosophy inaccurately or through misleading representations is dangerous and goes against stoic principles of truth, integrity, and self-awareness. Misrepresentation diminishes the accessibility of stoicism and undermines its inclusive, universal values. Stoicism teaches intellectual and moral growth, not shallow ideals of physical dominance. Creators should reflect this by choosing imagery that aligns with stoicism’s real teachings-helping viewers learn the philosophy as it was intended: a guide to inner strength and virtuous living.
People come and go forever.
Great advice
This came to me in the time it was needed thank you
Being stoic is definitely useful when things aren't going the right way but cause a disconnect with yourself when they do. There is no formula to being always in control, it's an illusion. Sometimes giving in brings the needed results.
Nothing is perfect, gotta lose yourself sometime
This is so good I must do this
Is it just me or has this voice become the morgan freeman of Ai voices
❤ wonderful
Thank you! Cheers!
As the old saying goes tell the truth and shame the devil. For 6 years I have been emotionally attached an intimately involved what's a person who shortly after the relationship start it, he constantly disrespected me, and didn't value me, and worse he put me to shame by burning me five times with his lifestyle of patronizing prostitutes after the second time I should have stopped being intimate with him! There is a such a thing as loving someone unconditionally but I went beyond that when I continue to have sex with this person.
RUN to a therapist, ASAP! YOU continue to have sex with a man who burned you???? YOU gave him permission to care absolutely nothing about you. A therapist can help you. Please go. 🙏🏽 I wish you the best.
I thank you❤
HIS JOYS BRINGS ME PEACE
Great video 👍👍👍.
Thanks for the visit
Is this supposed to apply to direct family relationships too? If so, this is incredibly hard to put into practice
I just want the pain to stop. I cant change the way I feel and I can’t change the way she does not feel. I just want my peace back as its been turmoil and anguish of soul for too damn long.
Everything everyone changes forthe worse or for the better, the constant thing in this Universe is Change. According to Einstein. Nothing is permanent. Energy can neither created nor destroyed it just takes another form. K
If Emotions are not Reality, which I find highly impossible, since the realm we are living in is driven by a high procentige of emotion compared to facts and actual reality, how do you explain the diferrence of emotional beliefs to events that are actual happening? If I feel an Emotion, to me it will be real because I feel it...., get it?! Just because someone with a mindset such as yours attempts to tell me that my emotions are either invalid, untrue or simply a figment of my imagination just shows me that You are the one that needs to be validated and shown that "stoicism" might not be the thing to search for!
I figured that I was'nt done arguing yet....I am fully aware of my feelings, emotions and why and how they came about. Had events happen, mostly sad and terrible, that made said emotions come about. Nobody can tell me my feelings are not real or that I can do better, just by believing in some "what ever you call it".....
Exactly TY
I used this video as a drinking game, wish I hadn’t chosen “Marcus Aurelius” as the phrase to drink with. F*** me did we get drunk.
