How To ACTUALLY Find Peace In Stressful Times (Stoicism)

Yes I think this is great advice on multiple levels.

Nah thats cap, i was unhappy abt my body 2 years ago and now i feel way better

Same here. I had to pause the video and write that quote down cuz I know I’m gonna be using it in the future

That "It's alright" hit me more than anything did ever in this life. You are such a positive man. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@zacharystevens7801]

I started my day stressed about all the crap going on in my life, then I hear this man’s story and those words “it’s alright” when he’s at the end of the road in a life 100x worse than mine and suddenly things get perspective. It really could be worse

I don't know if I would say this video is directly charisma related, but I absolutely loved it and would love it if you guys put out more content like this. This echo's a lot of what I've learned from listening to the podcast over the past few years and my life is dramatically better for it. I'm so grateful for you both

[@Werdxp]

Happiness and overall life direction is definitely charisma related

[@Danny1013]

@@Werdxp I agree with that, this just isn't the advice you'd expect if you were asking for charisma tips. I don't know if someone who isn't familiar with this channel would make that connection or not.

[@EmbraceTheStruggle24]

Yep same here 💯

[@dustyk103]

This is one of the very best inspirational videos I have ever seen! I believe it fully encompasses why life is best when you’re grateful for what you have, and not resentful for what you don’t. Life is best lived with your glass half full instead of half empty.

[@maro5732]

This is such a great video and I really appreciate you making it. Thank you, really.

[@raginggerman5377]

I agree. You've got many great videos on your channel, but I think this is hands down one of, if not the best.

[@iamrjdennis]

Hey, Charisma on Command! I've been watching your videos for several years, and this is by far one of my favorite videos I've ever seen from you guys. Thank you for this, keep it up! 💛

How can we deal with muzlams when they come to us bully us by saying *"accept ezlame otherwise you will go to hell"* ... How can we respond to diffuse the situation?

[@shawnespinoza9300]

I think the most important part of this video is thankfulness. We do not realize how lucky/blessed we are. Things can always be worse. There are other excellent points in this video, and I plan on sharing it with others, but there are always people in worse situations that can be happy just knowing that it can be worse still.

[@EmbraceTheStruggle24]

Absolutely. I agree 💯

[@saadiaarfak7081]

I would say that I'm a happy person in my life, I do get unhappy days too but from my experience I would give some advice: - First, having bad days/luck is okay, you can't always have a good day and that's life ! As long as you don't block on this - Second, appreciating every small moment of happiness and not looking for being super duper happy because there's small moments of life like that - Lastly, being in peace with yourself give you less stress, less envy toward others I know it may not be easy for everyone but I think it's a mindset that help in life. You only have one life, we should live it the way we want

[@yonaalter]

"Attitude of gratitude" helps...being thankful for every little thing we have in life also helps.

[@andreasvb1142]

I read the story about the Chinese farmer some 10+ years ago, and simple as it is, it completely changed my life view. Basically ever since, whenever I start judging something that happens as “bad”, I just remember not to judge it because every bad thing is gonna lead to a good thing, that will lead to a bad thing, that will lead to a good thing..and so on. In short, there’s no reason to judge it as we can’t know the future. Best to just move on and see what happens

[@edgeofdead9586]

I dont know if this video help me relatively in short time but I know this is the mindset that will grant me happiness.

[@a---------------]

This channel is beyond powerful, I didn't know that I could still feel somehow enlightened in this life. I thought I'd never feel this way but I just did. Thank you

[@arnaudmenant9897]

I got the vidéo in my recommandations exactly the day I need it because I am over thinking about that past and getting depressed. Thank you bro ❤

[@stormrhode2330]

I wanna mention some of the general, foundational rocks, too: - get good sleep - eat healthy - exercise You could easily add, - read books - be social - smile a bunch - use big, positive, happy body language - find a healthy stress outlet - create things (even something like sketches or Lego structures) There are tons of other tools you can use to increase happiness. Here are just a handful.

[@JaySwag77]

Great additions!

[@sentientAl]

Oh man, the man’s story was so tear inducing

[@iRaquelLCS]

Thank you, I am so grateful for a teacher like you. I honestly believe your course should be taught in school. You literally just saved me from a downward spiral. I was about to lay in bed and give into it before I clicked on this video. Thank you

[@bradhuygens]

I’ve been watching each video of this channel since 2016, and this video was special. So helpful and exactly what I needed right now. You really went above and beyond referencing the non-sponsored app, and the KZbin channels (like invisible people). Thanks for the video

[@XVMIIHS]

Why is this your best video you just saved my life G

[@brolol529]

My source of unhappiness is the fact that I'm really talented at a lot of things but in the moment I judge myself very harshly and don't appreciate what I achieved. And the fact that I waste my life being too scared to make a step forward on my own, get to know other people/a romantic partner

[@sebastienmorand2479]

I feel the same. But fighting this state of mind could give some kind of goal.

[@lizzam]

I have experienced the rut first hand, and somehow managed to got out of it. The video explains the feeling aptly, and I don't even know that there's a scientific name for the feeling I had. I did not have a 10-minutes video last time, but I hope this would help others at least know that they are not alone, and there is a way out.

[@the12Turn2]

Great video. Love the stoic mindset. Focus on only things you can control.

[@EmbraceTheStruggle24]

💯

[@SvenGarson]

This is fricking gold dude - Sometimes you just need someone to remind you of what there is right now. Another aspect is that when you live with people who mostly live by these negative traits you explained here, you probably need to get away from them to get out of the spiral.

[@millermanhal]

So true. I thought achieving my goals would make me happy. Finally achieving success and stability with wife,4kids. It has not. I still felt inadequate. Almost died 2years ago. Changed my attitude. Still not as happy as I would like...but everyday I try to see and appreciate what I have and be grateful. That keeps me going.

[@ZachPincince]

Such a great video. I speak from experience when I say these principles truly can change your live...if you let them 👀

[@johnchristopher5733]

When I was a kid around ten I worked out a list of what I considered at the time to be "legitimate" reasons for unhappiness. The reasons are vague and they overlap, but this is what I came up with: You're expectations are not being met. You are not being taken into consideration. Hostile forces are thwarting your goals (as opposed to bad luck or incompetence).

[@NoFretBrettCSSMBFF]

How long ago was this...? How have you modified this list...? Would you like some feedback after you share more...?

[@yon4k4]

there's a quote i heard somewhere. -we must not think in reverse, nor forward in fear but around us in awareness a quote that you should not think to mich about the oast since it has already happened

My big mental check on myself when I am getting in those moods...when I get water from the fridge. As I watch my glass fill with pure, crystal clear, and near ice cold water I think to myself "There are literally millions of people in the world who don't even know what it's like to be able to do this whenever they want. They likely have never had ice cold and completely pure water before. They don't even know they want this ability......"

[@gamesinreallife7545]

Money can in fact make you happy, but not in the way most people generally think. Sure you can have what ever you want by having money. But true happiness comes from being “outrageously generous” - Dave Ramsay. To be able to use your money to help others in need, to use your money for purposes outside of yourself, THAT is what make you happy when it comes to money.
