Awesome video. But when you say "ACT" it means it bothers you, but you are just going to pretend it doesnt. We all need each other. deep down we all want to be understood. This was an issue between my wife and I. I However learnt that in everything there is always a solution, 5 years ago my wife and I were on the brink of a divorce because we were having some difficulties in our marriage but we are back together ,it was a really bad phase but we got through it..and now communicate better.

[@user-sk7kd8vs2w]

There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things

[@user-yy9mt6kl3h]

I know its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is Suzanne Ann Walters...

[@user-sk7kd8vs2w]

I will look her up online right now.... I hope this works for me

[@user-yy9mt6kl3h]

It will. You will not regret it.

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

It's great to hear you've overcome tough times in your marriage by finding ways to communicate better. It’s impressive that you've learned from your experiences and realized the importance of understanding each other and working through difficulties together. Thanks for sharing your insight it's a valuable reminder that there’s a solution to most problems if we are willing to work for it and support each other.

"Man is not disturbed by events, but by the views he takes of them." - Epictetus

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

Indeed, our interpretation of events can impact our emotional state more than the events themselves. It's a reminder to assess our thoughts and beliefs critically, as they shape our reactions. By shifting our perception, we can often change the emotional and psychological impact of what happens around us. This idea encourages us to look inward for peace and resilience, rather than at external circumstances.

[@KingStoic101]

@@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq Your comment beautifully encapsulates the profound influence of our mindset on our emotional well-being. It's a poignant reminder of the power we hold in shaping our own experiences through our interpretation of events. I'm curious, what practices or techniques do you personally find most effective in shifting your perception and fostering inner peace during challenging times?

[@D-Reality]

​@KingStoic101 great comment. Though I'm not the person who responded; I'd like to add some things that help me. A combination of positive quotes like "it never rains forever" and "something good will come from this". Knowing certain quotes and applying them correctly is useful. Breathing techniques. Being aware of the breathe. Not breathing deeply is a sign of being out of alignment. Constantly reminding myself that tomorrow isn't promised makes me less emotionally attached to the outcomes I see.

"Act as if you have control over your reactions, for that is where your true power lies." - Epictetus How do you maintain composure in challenging situations to wield your inner strength effectively?

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

Maintaining composure in challenging situations often involves a combination of awareness, perspective, and techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness. It’s about recognizing that while you can’t control the situation, you can control your response to it. Pausing before reacting, reflecting on the consequences of your actions, and focusing on solutions rather than problems can also help in wielding your inner strength effectively. It’s a skill that can be developed with practice, often entailing a deliberate effort to remain calm and clear headed.

[@StoicHabit101]

Your insights on maintaining composure are truly enlightening! How do you personally practice and reinforce this skill in your daily life?@@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

Practicing composure is a daily endeavor. I start with morning meditation to set a calm tone for the day. Throughout the day, I take moments to focus on my breath, especially before meetings or difficult tasks. Reflecting on my actions each evening helps me learn and improve. It's a cycle of mindful practice and reflection. I hope this helps

[@StoicHabit101]

Your dedication to practicing composure is truly admirable! 🌿 I'm curious, have you noticed any unexpected benefits or insights from incorporating meditation and reflection into your daily routine?@@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq

[@WhiteWolfCZ457]

The ones that listen moves the world. The stoics and Epictetus left us a legacy worth listen to - and internalise as a mindset to meet tomorrow better equiped than we can ever wish for. It may seem hard to do, but if you dedicate your self to the core values inherent in these profoundly wise and timeless thoughts your life will be freed from a burden you didn't know you were carrying. It's all about work in progress to set us free. True listening is a choice. We can make it.

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

Listening and learning from the past, particularly from philosophies like Stoicism as taught by Epictetus, is indeed a powerful tool for personal growth. It’s about actively engaging with these teachings, internalizing them, and allowing them to guide our actions and decisions. By doing so, we can equip ourselves for the future and relieve burdens we might not have even recognized we were carrying. This path of continuous improvement and mindful listening is a personal choice, a commitment to the journey of self-betterment.

Don't underestimate the power of emotions either. Even stoic personalities have weakness in them

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

Even stoic personalities, often seen as pillars of strength and resilience, aren't immune to the ebbs and flows of emotions. It's a profound reminder that emotions are a universal experience, touching everyone, regardless of how composed they might appear on the outside.

[@sandyr9081]

The coldness of human emotions sometimes can be too the extreme. I’m all in for being stoic, and being in control. However, I know on the human side that some people do not care how much you know it’s how much you show you truly care.

[@LionStoic]

I think we shouldn't strive to be "without emotions", what we should do is choose the right friends and environments, and align our actions with our values

How you can act when your feeling is involved every second together living the same house 🏡❣️🥴🙈😧🙏🌎✌️🤍🖤👍💯🤔🧩🙌🌹⚖️🌼

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

Living with someone and experiencing constant emotional involvement is indeed challenging. A stoic approach would suggest stepping back to observe these emotions without judgment, acknowledging them but not being ruled by them. Remember that while you cannot control the feelings that arise, you can control how you respond to them. Aim to cultivate tranquility, practice patience, and engage in open, honest, and compassionate communication while maintaining your personal well being.

[@colettevanrensburg6846]

How do you react to what goes against your moral belief, but finances “encourage” acceptance?

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

When faced with a situation that goes against your moral beliefs but offers financial incentive, it's a deeply personal decision on how to respond. Some might choose to stand by their principles despite financial loss, reflecting on the importance of integrity and long-term peace of mind. Others may rationalize the compromise for various reasons, potentially seeking to balance the immediate benefits with their moral discomfort. It’s a classic dilemma where the resolution often requires introspection and a clear understanding of one’s values and long-term goals.

Wrong title: embarking the ancient rulers towards their slaves how to act in serenity and give their labor and wealth.

[@StoicismSanctuary-gw4gq]

It looks like you’re offering a thought-provoking reinterpretation of historical power dynamics. Your title hints at the complex and often harsh realities of ancient societal structures, drawing attention to the contrast between the expected tranquility in the demeanor of the subjugated and the exploitation of their labor and wealth. Quite a compelling commentary.
