daily dose of stoic wisdom to navigate this crazy world
we call life. I'm Brandon Cole, your host, and let's
be honest. Sometimes life throwsy curtables faster than a Major
League picture ever. Feel like you're constantly on edge, ready
to erupt. Anger and frustration are part of the human experience,
but they don't have to rule us. Today we're diving
deep into some powerful stoic principles that can help you
(00:25):
manage this fiery freelings and find you're in a piece. Now.
I know what you're thinking. Stoicism sounds ancient, dusty, and
probably a bit boring. Trust me, it's not. Think of
it as a toolbooks filled with practical techniques to handle
whatever life strows it you. It's about understanding that we
can't control everything, but we can control how we react
to things. That's where these stoke gems come in. First up,
(00:47):
accept what you can't change. Sounds simple, right, but it's revolutionary.
We often waste energy trying to fight against the inevitable
traffic jams, bad weather, that annoying coworker's all part of
the game. Instead, of getting worked up. Except these things
is there. It doesn't mean you like them, but acknowledging
their reality freeze up your mental energy for what truly matters.
(01:09):
You know, the feeling when you're stuck in traffic and
you finally just say, okay, this is happening. Might as
well use this time to listen to a podcast that's
acceptance in action. Next, focus on what you can control
our actions, thoughts, and reactions. These are within our power.
Instead of getting frustrated about something beyond your control, channel
that energy into making positive choices within your sphere of influence.
(01:32):
You can't control the stock market, but you can control
your budget. You can control other people's behavior, but you
can control how you respond to them. There, practice mindfulness,
being present in a moment, helps us detach from our
thoughts and emotions. When we're caught up in worry or anger,
it's easy to get lost in a well end of
what ifs and regrets. Mindfulness brings us back to the
(01:53):
here and now, grounding us in reality. Take a few
deep breaths. Focus on your senses. Fear the ground beneath
your feet, Hear the sounds around you, notice the smell
in the air, It might sound simple, but it can
make a world of difference. Number four referraring negative thoughts.
Our thoughts shape are reality. When we encounter challenges, our
minds often jump to negative conclusions. Stoicism teaches us to
(02:17):
challenge these assumptions and look for alternative perspectives. Instead of
thinking this is terrible, try saying this is an opportunity
for growth. It is subtle shit, but it can change
your entire outlook. Finally, cultivate empathy. Understanding other people's perspectives
can help diffuse anger and frustration. Remember that everyone is
dealing with their own struggles. Putting yourself in someone else's
(02:39):
shoes can foster compassion and understanding even when you disagree.
Think about the last time you were angry. What if
you tried to see things from the other person's point
of view. Let me tell you a story. Last week,
I was stuck in traffic for an now before big meeting.
My mind started racing, I'm going to be late. They
are going to think I'm a professional. But then I
remembered these stood princes. I took some deep breaths, accepted
(03:03):
the situation, and focused on what I could control. Using
that time to mentally prepare for my presentation. When I
finally arrive, I was calm, collected, and ready to rock.
So there you have it, folks. Five key Stoic principles
