Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone, welcome back to Calm of a Chaos. I'm
your host, Brandon Cole, and if you're anything like me,
sometimes life feels like a woe. End of negativity, deadline's
traffic jams, that one annoying co worker. It's enough to
make you want to pull the covers over your head
and hide. But guess what, you don't have to. That's
where stows is and comes in. Friends. Today we're diving
(00:22):
deep into how letting go of negativity can be a
secret weapon for finding peace amidst the chaos. Now, I
know what you're thinking. Easier said than done, Brandon, trust me,
I get it. But believe me, this is in about
becoming some emotionless robot. Sooicism is actually about mastering your emotions,
not suppressing them. Think of it like this, negativity is
(00:42):
like that annoying fly buzzing around your head. You can
swat it all day, getting more frustrated, or you can
simply step away from the situation and let it buss
off on its own. So how do we actually do that?
Let's break down five key takeaways to help you ditch
the negativity and find your innersen. Number one, Recognize your thoughts.
This might seem obvious, but sometimes we are so caught
(01:04):
up in our will and of emotions that we forget
to even acknowledge what's going on in our heads. Take
a moment, breathe deeply, and simply observe your thoughts without judgment.
Are they positive? Negative? Just neutral observations. By becoming aware
of your thought patterns, you can start to identify those
pesky negative ones. Number two, challenge those negative thoughts. Ever
(01:27):
had that inner voice telling you you're not good enough?
What is this going to be a disaster? While it's
time to put that voice on trial, ask yourself, is
this thought really true? Or what evidence do you I
have to support this? Often those negative thoughts are just
distortions of reality. Number three, Focus on what you can control.
Life throwze curveables at us all the time. There are
(01:50):
things we can't change, like the weather, other people's actions,
or even that embarrassing moment from your middle school dance days.
But what we can control is a reaction to those situations.
Instead of getting balved down by the uncontrollable, focus your
energy on what you can influence, your attitude, your actions,
and your choices. Remember, peace comes from within not from
(02:10):
external circumstances. Number four, practice gratitude. You know that feeling
when you come home after a long day and sink
into your favor comfy chair, or when you take a
bite of that perfect slice of pizza. That's gratitude at work.
Make it a habit to appreciate the good things in
your life, big and small. A grateful heart is a
peaceful heart. It shifts your focus from what's lacking to
(02:33):
what you already have, which can make a world of difference.
Number five, be kind to yourself. This one is crucial.
We often put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect,
to succeed at everything, to never show weakness. But that's
just setting ourselves up for failure and disappointment. Remember you're
a human. You are going to make mistakes. You're going
(02:54):
to have bad days. That's okay. Treat yourself with the
same compassion and understanding that you would often a good friend.
Now let's bring this all together with a real world example.
Imagine you're stuck in traffic on your way to an
important meeting. Your mind starts racing. I'm going to be late.
My boss is going to be furious. I missed my
chance to sound familiar. This is where stoicism comes in.
(03:16):
Instead of letting those negative thoughts take over it, you
can one recognize that your thoughts have just thoughts, not facts.
To challenge the thought. While being late really ruin my
entire career, probably not. Three focus on what you can control,
listening to some calming music, using this time for a
quick meditation, or even catching up on an audiobook. Four,
(03:37):
be grateful for the fact that you have a safe
car and a way to get where you need to go.
And most importantly, five, be kind to your self. Accidents happen,
Breathe deeply, and remember that everything will work out in
the end. So there you have it. Five powerful steps
to let go of negativity and find piece amidst the chaos. Remember,
stoicism isn't about suppressing your emotions. It's about mastering them,
(04:00):

letting them control us. Ready to take action, start today
