Stoic Coffee Break

Can you stay calm in the storm? Or do you let your emotions cloud your judgment, leading to poor decisions? Today I want to talk about the Stoic concept of ataraxia and how it can help you be more mentally tough.“Don't hope that events will turn out the way you want, welcome events in whichever way they happen: this is the path to peace.”— Epictetus, Enchiridion 8Send us a textJoin the Build an Unbreakable Mind program.

At the end of the year is always a good time to step back and think about the year to come. Maybe you have some goals that you want to accomplish. Maybe get in better shape and eat better or pick up a new skill. But have you thought about what kind of attributes you want in the next year? In this episode I give you some words of advice of how to approach the new year.“Things do not touch the soul, for they are external and remain immovable; so our perturbations come only from our inner opinions."—Marcus AureliusMeditations IV.3Send us a textJoin the Build an Unbreakable Mind program.

What do you believe about yourself? Do you have beliefs that keep from stepping into your true self? Today I want to talk about self-beliefs and how the ideas that we hold about ourselves might just be your biggest obstacle to becoming who you want to be."When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."— Lao TzuSend us a textJoin the Build an Unbreakable Mind program.

Love is the greatest thing in the world. We're all trying to build relationships that enrich our lives. But can Stoicism help us love better?

What do you invest your attention in? Are you investing in things that enrich your life or keep you distracted? Today I want to talk about the importance of attention and what it’s costing you.“You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by you take no heed. You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, though all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last.”—SenecaSend us a textMy book Stoicism 101 is available!
