7 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO EVERY NIGHT BEFORE SLEEP (STOICISM ROUTINE)

[@badman231177]

I have just been pushed out of a relationship I’ve had for 10 years. This video goes far to show me how to take things from now on. Also how I’ve been living my life wrongly up till now. I hope I can make it through as life is so difficult to live right now.

[@gloriamusinguzi2689]

Stay strong 💪.. u gat this.. immense peace awaits.

[@stoicbond]

@badman231177 I'm truly sorry to hear about the end of your relationship, especially after such a long time together. Breakups, especially after long-term partnerships, can be deeply challenging. Remember, healing and understanding take time. Stoicism offers tools to navigate these tumultuous times, but be gentle with yourself. Do you think there's a specific Stoic teaching that could support you most during this period? Your journey and strength are important, and this community is here to support you. 🌟

[@chuckgood3972]

Sorry to hear that brother. A broken heart hurts so deep.

[@adulis73]

Feelings come, feelings go. Thoughts come, thoughts go. But you are not your feelings and thoughts. You will enjoy yourself as you have never been before. Stay strong!!

[@jasonhinman6173]

I just lost a girl, too. Focusing on myself and my goals has been a huge fault of mine. Fixing that helps and other prospects have become available.

[@10laws2liveby]

Thank you. This gives me a new life path. At 83, I feel I found a new path which gives me a fresh vision of myself and a new starting, rather than just wait around to die. Even if I only get one step it might be enough to loosen a snowball at the top of a mountain that turns into an avalanche spreading the beauty of each individual flake of show on the valley below.

[@stoicbond]

Your comment truly warms my heart. 🌟 It's never too late to embark on a new journey or gain a renewed perspective on life. Your analogy of the snowball turning into an avalanche is deeply poetic and resonates with the ripple effect one action or thought can have. Your openness to growth and learning, even at 83, is genuinely inspiring. What's one Stoic practice or teaching you're eager to implement or explore further? Let's continue this beautiful conversation. Blessings on your renewed path and thank you for sharing your wisdom with our community!

I'm finding great value in these recordings. They appeared in my feed, randomly, and now I make a habit of listening almost daily. The last decade crushed me down to the ground, and I've been rising back up for about 3 years now. I'm on a good path. Money is an issue and wages are very low. I'm working on maintaining self confidence and optimism as I work, build, and create my new life.

[@stoicbond]

Hello @kathyleicester7306! First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to share your journey. It's inspiring to hear how resilient you've been, rising from challenges over the past few years. Stoic principles can indeed provide a guiding light in such times. Remember, the obstacles we face can often become the path. As you continue to rebuild, what Stoic teachings or habits have resonated with you the most in maintaining self-confidence and optimism? Your story is bound to inspire many others. Keep pushing forward! 🌱

Before going to sleep i contemplate the day that is ending and make notes of what was achieved and what was not completedid and add them to my tomorrow's list. Always have a pen and paper by your bed to note some dreams before you forget them and also always carry pen and paper with you because some times when least expected you get a flash with the solution you needed.

I was happier when I don't have a phone. There's no peace like we used to have.

You've touched on a deep and intriguing aspect of human nature: the desire for connection, validation, and legacy. Stoicism offers many insights on self-worth, virtue, and our motivations. While Andrew Tate and others offer one perspective, Stoicism can provide tools to understand and navigate these primal desires in a meaningful and balanced way. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@stoicbond it would cool if you could put together a video around being stoic towards the circle of life. What I mean is how us humans we live and die, we all have family and friends. Some family passes away but we often enjoy families company and share good times vice versa for some. So we do with friends as well. A way for us to handle ourselves and control our reactions to these events would definitely make a cool video I would love to tune in to.
