Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone, Logan Cruiz here and welcome back to the
Stoic life. Today we're diving headfirst into something super crucial,
building resilience through those ancient Stoic principles and exercises. Ever
feel like life throws you curveaboles faster than a major
league pitcher. You know that feeling when everything seems to
be going wrong at once and you just want to

(00:21):
call up under the covers and pretend it's not happening. Yeah,
we've all been there. But here's the thing. Resilience isn't
about avoiding those tough times. It's about how we face them.
And guess what, the Stoics, those ancient Greek philosophers, who
are basically masters of mental fortitude, have some seriously coold
toads to help us bounce back stronger. So buckle up,

(00:42):
because today's episode is going to be a game changer.
Here are five key takeaways that'll empower you to build
and shacable resilience. First things first, except what you can control.
This might sound obvious, but it's easier said than done.
We often get caught up in stressed about things outside
of our influence, traffic jams, other people's opinions the weather.

(01:04):
It's like trying to herd cats. Right, The Storics remind
us of focusing on what we can control, Like our
reactions and choices, is where true power lies. Think of
it this way, you can choose to be a victim
of circumstance or the captain of your own ship. Second,
practice mindful awareness. Ever, notice how the stressful thoughts tend

(01:24):
to snowball. We get caught in a loop of negativity,
imagining whist case scenarios and letting our anxieties run wild.
Sosicism encourages us to step back from that mental mal
storm and observe our thoughts without judgment. It's like watching
a movie. You can choose to be swept up in
the drama or simply observe it in fault. By cultivating
this mindful awareness, we break free from those negative thought

(01:46):
patterns and gain a sense of clarity. Third, reframe your
challenges as opportunities for growth. You know that saying what
doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well, the stoics wholeheartly agree.
They believe that every obstacle, ever setback, is a chance
to learn, adapt and become more resilient. Think about it.
When things get tough, do we shrink back or rise

(02:08):
to the occasion. It's in those moments of adversity that
we discover our true strength and potential. Fourth called avate
gratitude sons simple, right, but seriously, take a moment to
appreciate the good things in your life, your health, your
loved ones. A sunny day. Gratitude shifts our focus away
from what's lacking and towards what we already have, fostering

(02:29):
a sense of contentment and well being that acts as
a buffer against stress. And finally, remember that you are
not alone. We all face challenges big and small. Stoicism
emphasizes the importance of community and connection, reaching out to friends, family,
where even online communities can provide support, encouragement, and remind
us that we're all in this together. Think about a

(02:50):
time when you had to overcome a major obstacle. Maybe
it was a personal set back, a career challenge, or
a relationship issue. How did you handle it? Did you
let there's doubts and fears consume you, or did you
rise to the occasion with strength and determination? Now imagine
applying these Stove principles to that situation. What would have
been different. Could you have found more cloudy acceptance and

(03:13):
even gratitude in the midst of the storm? I bet
you could. The Stoics won't just philosophers. They were practical
people who lived better beliefs, and by incorporating these principles
into our daily lives, we can build resilience that goes
beyond simply weather in the storms. It's about thriving in
the face of adversity, becoming stronger, wiser, and more capable
than ever before. So remember, folks, life throws punches. That's

(03:37):
a given, but we don't have to stay down for
the count and raise those challenges. Cultivate your in a
strength and remember you are capable of incredible things. Let
