As a female, I have watched many lessons on stoicism. Helps me to contain myself and not allow mistreatment and stand my own ground. I am still in my feminine, but I won’t tolerate bs or be controlled by others. I walked away from my ex after he verbally disrespected me - 6 years wasted. But his words showed me how he really felt. I heard him loud and clear - walked away and haven’t looked back.

[@stoicbond]

@Rosie-by9wf, it's empowering to hear how Stoicism has helped you stand your ground and maintain your dignity. Your decision to walk away from a disrespectful situation reflects the Stoic virtues of self-respect and wisdom. It's not about the years spent, but the strength you've gained.

[@dayamitrasaraswati6276]

@@stoicbond Seneca is my favourite stoic. I am reading "letters from a Stoic" which is very inspirational for me. I balance kindness and compassion by allowing others to make their own decisions -even if their decision is to not value their friendship with you. Seneca advises to judge a person before committing to a friendship. A bit like marriage I suppose- you don't pick the first one you come across. I do not cut people out of my life. It's more allowing them to decide their own path and not clinging to something that may mean more to me than it does to them. By not clinging you open up to new possibilities and new friends that may value you more.

I think the "do not care" part of stoicism applies to the powerful men who wrote down their approaches to life. But in fact, a world without caring people will END.

[@gernainelouisethomas945]

​@@LoveOneAnotherHeSaidYou are completely missing the point. Stoicism does not mean you don't care. It means you care enough about yourself to not be controlled by others. If you don't set boundaries people will take advantage. I know because it has happened my whole life. Oh it's okay it's only here is their approach. The moment you say actually no, they get offended. Stoicism is not about having zero emotion, but about learning to control them instead of controlling other people. People who control others have zero self control.

[@christinaanne9382]

It's unfortunate that many of us tend to learn these things later in life: the importance of self-respect and self-love (because others will mirror back to us how we perceive ourselves). Givers have limits, but there is no limit to those who only take. This is why the most giving and open-hearted grow resentful, but it's primarily a call to respect oneself enough to set necessary boundaries - even on our giving. Balance is key, as you have acknowledged. Your comment resonates.

In that time I've also endured and politely accepted the dislike of a few others for staying true to myself.

[@Georginna123]

@@stoicbond hi! Well stoicism was influenced by many philosophers, one being Socrates. Socrates credits philosophers Aspasia and Diotima as his instructors and teachers. I believe many don’t know this. Female philosophers existed, just like female artists, and rulers existed in history but they are suppressed and not given the recognition men have. This creates the idea that stoicism is this male discipline when it is not. There needs to be greater exposure to female philosophers because it is not that women are not capable of this discipline they simply were not given the attention men were, and mankind has a history of misogyny and ignorance, and that still didn’t stop women’s ability to create, invent, rule, and be philosophers. It is frustratingly hard to find these women but they exist. The aspects of stoicism that could foster inclusive community is the incessant repetition of stoicisms relation to emotion. This particular aspect is what made me curious with stoicism, I met men that would call themselves stoic when they did insensitive things, they summarized to be stoic is to be void and suppress emotion. I thought how could philosophers create such beliefs? Having learned myself stoicism is not to be void or the suppression of emotion rather the extreme control of one’s emotions(among other principles). I believe this is where men try to take ownership of stoicism. If men believe in stoic principles they need to learn those are principles influenced by female philosophers like aspasia and diotima. I wrote a paper on the art piece “Aspasia surrounded by Greek philosophers”. Stoicism is not a male philosophy, it is a philosophy for anyone with emotion and life.

[@SnakPak86]

@@stoicbond I would say there are a few key takeaways that have helped me the most. The number one takeaway was staying calm and if I had trouble staying calm, I would politely excuse myself from the situation. Stoicism teaches us that we have no control over anything outside of ourselves. We take our personal power back by not reacting to outside situations in an emotional way. Another key takeaway that helped immensely is the value of knowledge. I am not just speaking of intellectual knowledge, but wise and spiritual knowledge. I found that even if I didn't particularly like someone or vice versa, we could still learn from each other. If you are in a position to learn new knowledge within an industry take it. Even if it is being taught by someone you don't like. I found that my biggest agitators in the industry became my dearest colleagues and some of them, friends. It was all because I latched onto tangible facts, also known as objective data. I didn't let my emotions cloud my judgement which is known as subjective data (data based on opinions, beliefs, and emotions). I decided my thirst for success in life was more important than voicing how I felt. As women, we are nurturers full of strength! We have been told that we are full of weakness but that is only because of emotions left unchecked. We've been around that woman who gossiped a lot, was way too competitive, and all around toxic! This is what people see us as when we don't lift each up and encourage one another's potential. I have been around women who have tried to compete with me in my industry. It never works out for them. The men in our industry value strength, poise, mental resilience, and above all, respect. If you as a woman embody these values, the stoic mindset will guide you into true success and fulfillment.

[@stoicbond]

@SnakPak86, your insights are truly inspiring. The way you've embraced Stoicism to navigate challenges in your professional life, particularly in male-dominated fields, sets a powerful example.

I stumbled upon stoicism a few days ago and discovered that I'm a stoic. I guess I naturally have a high EQ and have always been calm under pressure ever since I was a child. I believe I further developed my stoicism seeking personal growth following my divorce. My friends were amazed at how I handled my ex-husband cheating on me. I confronted them both (him and his mistress) in a calm state and walked away when I felt I needed to. I gave myself 3 months to process my emotions and told myself that by the 3rd month, I would let go of everything and I did. I then fully prioritized my inner peace. That was 8 years ago. I am currently in a relationship (5 years and counting) and boundaries were clear and set from the onset.

Have you found any specific Stoic principles that have helped you navigate these situations? 🤔 Keep up the strong and independent mindset! 💪

@@stoicbond Yes... a few, but one in particular STANDS OUT & has evolved into a major pillar for me, but I added to the end of it: "You have no control over what anyone else thinks, says, or does... But you have TOTAL CONTROL OVER HOW YOU RESPOND TO IT"...IF AT ALL!!!(last 3 words are my addition, & I contend they have merit, especially when dealing with ALL Cluster B personality disorders).

I never thought to look for stoic videos for women. I just watch every stoic video I can find and apply it

[@stoicbond]

@officialpatrice4976 It's wonderful to hear that you find value in Stoicism, applying it broadly in your life. Absolutely, Stoicism isn't gender-specific; its wisdom is for everyone. It's all about how we navigate life's ups and downs, isn't it? I'm curious, though - have you found any Stoic teachings particularly resonant with your experiences as a woman? Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@expatlifesydni]

Yea I never applied a gender to stoic philosophy, but it is intriguing to see how many other women apply this philosophy into their everyday lives. The lesson on embracing amor fati stuck out to me the most, after going through enough you learn to find gratitude for the character you build afterwards. I love that term tho, “love of fate”

[@stoicbond]

Hey @expatlifesydni, I'm so glad you found the video intriguing and relatable! 🤗 It's amazing to see how many women are embracing stoicism in their daily lives. 🙌 The concept of amor fati is definitely powerful and can help us find gratitude even in the toughest of situations. 💪 Have you found any other stoic principles that have helped you in your life? 🤔 Keep practicing stoicism and keep spreading the love of fate! ❤️

I've learned bits and pieces of stoicism for years, so it is nice to find a video about it specifically for women. Amor fati as a concept has really resonated with me, as I have endured a lot over the years. Great video overall!

[@stoicbond]

@user-nb8le3hh7o It's wonderful to hear that you've been exploring Stoicism for years and found value in this video, especially in relation to the concept of 'amor fati.' This idea of loving one's fate, embracing all life experiences, both good and bad, as necessary parts of our journey, is incredibly powerful and healing. Your resilience in enduring and growing through your challenges is a true embodiment of Stoic principles. Have you found that 'amor fati' has changed your perspective on past struggles or how you approach future challenges? Your journey is inspiring! Keep embracing every moment. 🌟🍃

[@LoveOneAnotherHeSaid]

Every living thing endures a lot. So what?

[@BlatantDisregardForYourFeels]

I developed a stoic mindset to suppress the wasting of my time on nouns that didn’t ultimately serve me. Developing a routine that encompasses active thought and not rote pleasantries helped increase the value of my interactions with people.

[@stoicbond]

@YoureInsane, your approach to Stoicism resonates with the philosophy's core principles. Stoicism teaches us to focus on what truly matters and to distinguish between what is within our control and what isn't. Your decision to develop a routine that prioritizes meaningful interaction is a great example of applying Stoic wisdom in everyday life. Here's something to ponder: How do you maintain balance in your life while practicing Stoicism, especially when it comes to showing empathy and understanding towards others who might not share the same mindset? Engaging with different perspectives can also be a valuable part of our growth. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

I recently found this philosophy and I wish I had known about it way earlier, even two years ago when I lost my son to depression. Christianity has helped me be hopeful and look ahead but stoicism helps me pull through. A book that helped me too is The Power of Fun, I read it two months after I lost my son and it helped me find things to keep my mind in the present. Hang in there and discover what the experience you are going through right now is preparing you for.

[@Michele-td5lj]

I am a beginner.

[@latika1998]

Emotional equilibrium is everything as a woman who’s been diagnosed “bipolar” and “schizoaffective.” Stoicism has offered so many approaches to life situations where I can fully grasp onto my emotions and remind myself that I am in control no matter what an doctor or anyone says. I have control over my emotions. That in itself is liberating. I hope people who have struggled with mental illness can feel the same way.

[@JenniferKBrown]

It’s eye opening to learn that people might have believed otherwise.

[@PixelShade]

Definitely. I have been recommended a lot of videos surrounding stoicism lately. And it is crazy how many of them misunderstands the teachings and focus on this skewed idea that stoicism should be used to get ahead of the curve, in order to become an "alpha male". It's honestly ridiculous. Especially when the focus is really about building emotional maturity, empathy and virtue.

[@stoicbond]

@PixelShade, you bring up a crucial point. It's essential to recognize that Stoicism is often misrepresented, especially when it's incorrectly associated with concepts like "alpha male" mentality. True Stoicism is about cultivating emotional resilience, empathy, virtue, and understanding what's within our control - far from the pursuit of dominance or superiority. In your experience, how do you think we can better educate people about the authentic teachings of Stoicism, and dispel these misconceptions? It's vital to have voices like yours in the conversation to guide a more accurate understanding of this philosophy. Thanks for your insightful comment! 🌱📘

[@tristanhaile]

I think many women have a good percentage of this philosophy for themselves. The real question is, how does one remem to act on these thought patterns every moment? We become distracted and trapped into our emotions, how can we be more aware & remind ourselves to snap out of it? I suppose you could write it on your arm or set a few alarms in a day.

[@stoicbond]

Hey @tristanhaile, thanks for watching the video and sharing your thoughts! I completely agree that many women already embody the principles of stoicism in their daily lives. It's definitely a challenge to constantly remind ourselves to act on these thoughts, especially when we get caught up in our emotions. 🤔 One way to stay aware and snap out of it is to incorporate small reminders throughout the day. Maybe you could write a quote from a stoic philosopher on a sticky note and place it somewhere you'll see it often. Or set a reminder on your phone to take a deep breath and refocus. 💭

You have to embody these principles. Make them part of your character.

Well by nature I am an empath, I feel others feelings and emotions and I always get the short end of the stick. I had to learn to just say no. When I did it's so liberating! Being mindful of the parts I play in challenging situations. Be self aware of my expressions on my face cause I wear my emotions. That's where staying calm, meditation, yoga and journaling comes in for me. I have lost 40lbs. and still going. I also need to work on my self discipline again. For some reason it's harder than it was when I was younger. Any advice? Thx in adv. #grateful

[@stoicbond]

@ramonatang5864, congratulations on your personal growth and the incredible journey you've embarked on! Your transformation, particularly in setting boundaries and being more self-aware, is commendable. It's inspiring to hear how integrating Stoicism with practices like meditation, yoga, and journaling has brought such positive changes in your life, including your impressive weight loss. Regarding self-discipline, it's not uncommon to find it more challenging as we grow older. Life gets more complex, and our responsibilities increase. A Stoic approach would suggest focusing on what's within your control and breaking down your goals into smaller, manageable tasks. Remember, consistency is key, even in small steps. Also, consider reflecting on your values and priorities now compared to when you were younger. Aligning your daily actions with these can reignite your motivation for self-discipline. Your journey is a testament to the power of a Stoic mindset combined with personal care strategies. Keep up the amazing work, and stay strong on this path of self-improvement.

I misapplied Stoicism - believing my life was a sacrifice because I chose a bad career and now I had to live with it. My wishes and needs were to be ignored as I accepted my fate - then I burned out and quit.

Really good stuff. Sobering reminders. The lessons that resonated most with me is Amor Fati, Balancing Emotional Labor and Authentic Leadership. I had a very rigid view of what my life ought to be so when I met with setbacks, I took it hard. I saw this interview of a favorite artist of mine and she said she always felt like she was where she needed to be despite all the setbacks. Life is beautiful if we give it a chance. For teamwork, I get so discouraged when things are not done up the way I expected it to, and I feel this pressure but I think it’s cause I have this flawed and narrow view of how it ought to look like but I want to practice a more compassionate and inspiring kind of leadership without taking on so much emotional baggage.

Life made me a stoic before I ever heard the word. when I did learn, I was surprised to know that the way I am “that’s a thing? “

[@cheezyllamba]

I wouldn’t say that stoicism is necessarily male or female, but men throughout history held more worth than women. It’s neither good nor bad, It just is. So it’d make sense the majority of stoic teachings are from life recounts of men, it’s understandable that the majority of mens word would stand the test of time. However, let’s look at what stoicism has taught us from a base level. Be in tune with your emotions, be a good human being, surround yourself with positive people, and to be kind to yourself while also being stern, and many more. All of the teachings don’t hold any bearing on man or women in particular, some teachings may reason are better with one or the other. But what it does teach us is how to be stronger.

[@stoicbond]

@cheezyllamba You've made an insightful observation about the historical context of Stoicism and its teachings. Indeed, the predominance of male voices in early Stoic literature reflects the social structures of the time, but the core principles of Stoicism are universally applicable, transcending gender and time. Your summary of Stoic teachings - being in tune with emotions, practicing kindness, surrounding oneself with positivity, and fostering inner strength - highlights the universal appeal of this philosophy. It's about personal growth and resilience, which are relevant to everyone. Considering this, how do you think modern interpretations of Stoicism can continue to evolve to reflect the diverse experiences of both men and women in today's society? Your perspective adds valuable depth to this discussion! 🌟

@@stoicbond I began to ask myself why it never occurred to me that there were female stoics as well. Perhaps in an attempt to really focus in on what's been put forth in terms of popularity, I forgot to take a step back and reassess what had been left out. A critical error on my part. Still, I was so impacted by this video that I ordered a book on Poricia the Stoic shortly afterwords. Hearing about Female Stoics (Queens) is a breath of fresh air. I think it would be quite a thing to meet a Queen in person one day. Any Queens, I'd love to hear your insights!

I have just bought a 90 day journal, and very excited to start

Great video. Very much in alignment with how i think about stoicism as a feminist. The only quibble i might raise is around the idea that excellence at work might result in people valuing your contributions. Women really do need to learn to function without an any approval or praise at all. With which, of course, the stoics are a help.

Stoicism for everyone 💯❤

[@ameliaray9342]

I appreciate this video because it never occurred to me how there could be gender differences on this topic. All I can say is I don’t have children or a family, I’m not going to have that, I’m a full time working professional, my career is my reality and I have no idea how stoicism wouldn’t apply to me. Also I am sure I experience gender bias at times but I never think or dwell on it because I don’t want anything holding me back. If that happens I look past it as quickly as possible and keep going.

Stoicism helps me to stay grounded and to never give up no matter what happens. I realized my path and purpose when my husband lashed away from Cancer seven years ago. Being appreciative and patient is what I live by today.

One of my preferred books is Meditations by Marc Aurèle, I have also read it in English and it's akin to a mini-bible. I always felt if Marcus Aurelius had been a believer he would have been a Saint.

[@stoicbond]

Hey @rad-guidance7, thanks for sharing your love for Meditations by Marcus Aurelius! 📚 It's definitely a powerful and thought-provoking read. Have you found any specific passages or lessons that have resonated with you? 🤔 I'd love to hear your thoughts on how stoicism can be applied in our daily lives. Keep diving into the philosophy and let's continue the discussion! 💬

@@stoicbond what immediately comes to mind is the first part, the lessons and heritage from each family member and tutor. This resonated very much in that it teaches us from the outset to appreciate the goodness in others.

I'm new to all this. How do I begin this journey?I need to love myself and improve myself. I'm an overthinker ,I don't know how to let go. I never fully sleep. I'm awake thinking and don't know how to turn it off.

[@stoicbond]

@curley7077, welcome to the journey of Stoicism! It's a philosophy that can be incredibly helpful for self-love and self-improvement, especially for those who tend to overthink. The first step is often understanding and accepting what is within your control and what is not. Stoicism teaches us to focus on our own actions and attitudes rather than external events. A practical way to begin is by keeping a daily journal. Reflect on your thoughts and actions each day, and ask yourself how they align with stoic principles like wisdom, courage, justice, and moderation. For your concern about overthinking and difficulty sleeping, consider the stoic practice of 'premeditatio malorum', which involves contemplating the worst-case scenario and accepting it. This can reduce anxiety about the future. Have you tried any mindfulness or meditation techniques? These can be quite effective in managing overthinking and improving sleep. What's one small step you think you can take today to start this journey? Remember, stoicism is about progress, not perfection.

I listen to material like this when I cannot sleep. Tension tamer tea and sleepy time tea Help relax. Or some red wine.

[@beckkavenia3769]

I think women need stoicism more than men because we have so many more irrational, difficult hormonal emotions to deal with, especially during pregnancy (i.e. me right now). I think it's been a great way to bring peace between the difference in the 2 sexes. Certainty has helped my relationship with my man a great deal because I can rationalize my emotions, which enables me to properly, peacefully communicate with him instead of letting myself feel like a victim and becoming bitchy, dragging everyone down with me. Managing my emotions I think also helps with my unborn baby because I'm not stressing the two of us out!

[@stoicbond]

Hey @beckkavenia3769! Thank you for sharing your experience with stoicism on the video! 🙌 It's great to hear how it has helped you during your pregnancy. 🤰 I agree that women have unique challenges when it comes to managing emotions, and stoicism can definitely provide a helpful framework. 💪 Have you found any specific stoic practices or teachings particularly useful during this time? 🤔 Keep up the great work and stay strong! 💪
