Biggest hurdles I'm still having trouble with is being a slave to my emotions, and seeking validation from others.
@justinvallejos7378
Justin, thank you for opening up and sharing your current challenges on this journey. 🙏 Recognizing these hurdles is a significant step in itself. The Stoic path is all about self-improvement and understanding, and it's okay to acknowledge that some obstacles take longer to overcome. Is there a Stoic quote or teaching that has resonated with you in your efforts to gain more control over these areas? Sharing and discussing can often help not just you but also others in our community facing similar challenges. Stay strong, keep reflecting, and remember that every step forward, no matter how small, is progress.
Same as well as my ego beating myself up
Keep working on accepting that our emotions do invade our lives no matter what we do it's a human condition.
Try acknowledging what your body is feeling knowing it will pass. I have found that labelling my emotions and not actually absorbing them internally helps. It's taken me 4 years and a mindfulness course to begin to manage living with negatively. Much love and good wishes
Hey brother start choosing no emotions in conversations as practice don't let anything make you too happy or too sad...it is just there....and now...now is all that matters and all we have don't worry about the future and stop living in the past.....NOW!
@cbcb102 Don't let something conditional affect our constant. Just thought of that by reading your comment. Love and light to you✨️
Being a slave to my emotions and Living in the past are the two that I need to continue to work on, in this Stoic journey. Thank you for these videos!
@cainpork
Thank you for your honest reflection and for subscribing! 🙏 Addressing our emotional attachments and the pull of the past can indeed be challenging, but it's a crucial step in the Stoic journey. It's inspiring to see you actively acknowledging and working on these areas. Is there a specific Stoic practice or strategy that you've found particularly helpful in managing these challenges? Sharing your journey can offer support and insights to others on a similar path. Keep pushing forward and growing in wisdom!
I know you think it's silly, but the 12 steps are helpful even for none addicts/alcoholics. It's stocism, and buddhism in a blander.
Same for me. Good luck brother.

This UA-cam channel is a pure gem, spreading the timeless wisdom of Stoicism while maintaining a proximity with everyday's relatable experience that everyone confronts with in today's world. I deeply wish for the prosperity of this channel proliferating the wisdom it thrives to impart.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support, Uttiyah! 🌟 It's truly fulfilling to know the content resonates with viewers like you. It's our goal to make Stoicism applicable and relatable to everyday experiences. Out of interest, are there any specific Stoic concepts you'd like to see explored in future videos? Your feedback can guide our journey ahead! 📜
@@stoicbondI know you offer advice based on the teachings of the stoic philosophers, but i’d be interested in some more anecdotal, off the cuff videos talking about specific applications you might have personally utilized.
Obviously maintain due privacy, but that would provide an even more grounded example than the short scenarios provided in what has been posted so far.
Great work in any case.
About #2
Recently, i read about the need for humans to validate themselves. The author suggested that this also applies to one's own opinions rather than "only" the general ego. In a way that makes us want to discuss issues, seeking feedback. This is usually healthy, because if one is the only one doing something, it should be a reason to check if it is the wrong path.
However reflecting upon myself, i found that i overdiscuss many of my own chosen habits - in terms of healthy lifestyle, for example. I did this for years and i finally came to the conclusion that it was out of my own insecurity, that i wanted to discuss it or "motivate" other people to do it like me. Crazy thing is that in that moment i always thought i wanted to help them, but if i had acted and spoken out of genuine concern for their well being, im sure i would have been less missionary about it.
So from now on, i aim to "live and let live" more and eat what i think is good for me.
Thank you for the inspiration!
@martinr2040
Martin, thank you for sharing such a profound and personal reflection. It takes a great deal of self-awareness and honesty to recognize our motivations, especially when they are intertwined with our desire to help and be validated. 🙏 The Stoic path is indeed about self-improvement and understanding, and you're doing a remarkable job on that journey. The "live and let live" philosophy aligns closely with Stoic principles of focusing on our own actions and letting go of trying to control others. How has adopting this new perspective influenced your daily interactions and peace of mind? Sharing your journey can be an inspiration to others as well! Keep growing and reflecting. ✨
Thank you for this video. I myself am guilty of almost all those things but the worst for me is constantly seeking perfection in anything creative I do. Which is stopping me from doing anything creative in my life.
Philosophers' wisdom is the golden thread in life's tapestry. Let these quotes light our path to understanding and resilience. 🌟
Listening to this always makes me get tears of joy, very inspiring

I'm a slave to all the above. Humility and acknowledge them is the first step for me. How to change is the next one. Powerful Powerful wisdom to renew one's mind with. Thank you for sharing.
Medicine for me !!! Appreciate this work
@southpawenterprisemusic7927, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I'm glad you found the content beneficial. 🙏 What's one Stoic principle you'd love to see expanded upon in future videos?
The problem for me is living in the past. Ive lost everyone, my family has long since shes its mortal coil if you will and im still working through this. Every day it's smells, sound, or just out of the blue, smiles of my sister, some joke i had with my father, the look of sadness from my mother as she withered from cancer. In my dreams i see my pets playing and coming to me all happy, the warmth against my shoulders as my father hugs me. Telling me its time to wake up. I dwell in the past for i have nothing left.
@dramspringfeald I'm truly touched by your heartfelt sharing. The depth of your emotions and memories is palpable. Losing loved ones is one of the most challenging experiences we face as humans. Stoicism teaches acceptance and understanding our own reactions, but it does not dismiss the very real pain and grief we go through. It's okay to cherish memories and feel the weight of loss. Have you found any practices or support systems that help you find moments of solace or grounding in the present? Your journey, though incredibly personal, might resonate with many who have faced similar pains. Sending you warmth and strength. Please remember to reach out to professionals or support groups if you ever feel the need.
ditto happning to me
@@stoicbondsometimes you have to allow yourself regular time to face the memories in order to internalize, and eventually move beyond them.
It is notable that you cannot let them consume you. Set an alarm to help arrest your wandering mind if this is a problem.
Eventually, you will think on it less as a matter of course. The memories will get no smaller, but your experiences will grow, and eventually they will be minor by comparison.
About the importance of journalling. My past overshadowed and influenced my present up until recently. Although I consciously tried to face painful hurdles, not shirking away from issues, I still couldn't come to grips with it (my past). So I finally wrote it all down, listing the significant and often tragic events as well as my work history. My Memoirs. A small booklet (!) At first in my mother tongue and then again in English. This process , which included repeated editing, was like an exorcism. The pain, anger, a.s.o., when reading it over and over, subsided. Tough process but it brought much peace of mind. Now the challenge is to enjoy it without guilt. I have always been an introspective person, trying to gain insights to help recognise patterns, based on negative childhood " programming". Coming to accept one's life story and value its lessons is an intricate process but I really regret nothing anymore. Mistakes? No, learning.
I would appreciate if your team published a guided mindfulness meditation. Several videos discuss doing them, and a I believe it was the morning or evening habits that briefly described how to do it. A video that your listeners can play specifically for their meditations could be a helpful resource.
Thank you for the suggestion and for being a dedicated subscriber! 🙌 It's a great idea. Mindfulness meditation can certainly align well with Stoic practices. I'll discuss with the team about creating a guided session.
i've read epictetus , and marcus aurelius , yet sometimes in life , thru a day it can become easy to have these lessons slip away for a few minutes . so i find myself listening to one of your videos in order to remind myself . you do a great summary my friend thank you.
I like the presentation style of this channel. The length and organization of the videos is just right. Thanks!
@phil562 Thank you so much for the positive feedback! It's great to hear that the presentation style resonates with you. Out of curiosity, which of the "Anti-Stoic Habits" discussed in the video did you find most intriguing or relevant? Your perspective could help shape future content! Again, thanks for your support and engagement.
A lot of the Stoic philosophy videos which use AI voice overs or images come off as hacky or misguided. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at your body of work brother. Please keep going 🙏🙏
I just want to say that I'm really grateful for your videos as they keep me trying to understand intricacies of my life but in a way that is peaceful and constructive.
I often catch myself dwelling on the past, but my method to deal with intrusive thoughts and constant rumination is to take a deep breath and try to visualize the idea of me being a unfinished artwork with its current form shaped by previous masters, and by masters I mean experiences or situations. I may require further work, I may feel not good enough, but todays me, while imperfect, is still in a process of "making", perfecting, polishing and it's still beautiful in its own way. I don't know if it's stoic approach but it's heplful to me.
Hey @Parysus, thank you for watching the video and for sharing your personal approach to dealing with intrusive thoughts and rumination. 🙏 It's great to hear that the video has been helpful for you in understanding the intricacies of life in a peaceful and constructive way. 🌅 I love the analogy of being an unfinished artwork shaped by experiences and situations. 🎨 It definitely aligns with the stoic idea of focusing on what we can control and accepting what we can't.
Love the message, I'm starting my own channel about stoicism, much love to all ❤
This channel has completely changed my way of thinking in general!! My anxiety is reducing. Thankyou from the bottom of my ❤
Hey @Julie-hq8rs, that's amazing to hear! 🙌 I'm so glad my video has helped reduce your anxiety. 🙏 It's comments like these that make creating content so worthwhile. 😊 Have you tried incorporating any stoic practices into your daily life? 🤔 Keep up the great work and stay strong! 💪
Channel’s really blowing up Jack.. good for you! Well deserved, good vid.
Thank you, Peter! I'm truly grateful for the support and for viewers like you who've been part of this journey. 🚀 Do you have any Stoic principles or habits you've implemented in your own life? Would love to hear about them!
@@stoicbond Maybe kinda long, tho as an author, brevity isn’t my forte (thus the $1k+ for my copy editor!) My best is to practice NOT getting emotional on the downside, but definitely do so on the up-more so for other people’s successes, triumphs, displays of endurance & resiliency. I believe to have that POV is partially inborn, tho mostly by practice-especially when your own life is not going so well, despite doing things mostly right.
Surely shouldn’t be the reason, it truly is a great feeling when people recognize it-& that *it’s authentic-as it’s rare. I always put it ‘there’s not a small box out there in the either of success that you doing well somehow takes away from me’ so why not celebrate others successes?’ Often people are visibly surprised, certainly in NYC where competition for anything is fierce.
one thing I find interesting, some people, depending on how they develop and evolve through life, may discover some of these teachings by themselves. I learned about not dwelling on things I can't control on my own by myself, I also learned that validation was something that tended to make you sentimental, frail, melancholic in the long run since there was no guarantee that life would give you what you seek. However I still held that social status was something important and this was the final straw that kept me perpetually unhappy with myself. Only after I learned of stoicism did I finally become truly happy

I constantly get annoyed by others while driving.
And I often get hangry.
Hey @seski89, thanks for watching the video and sharing your thoughts! It's great that you're aware of these anti-stoic habits in your life. 👍 I'm curious, have you tried any stoic techniques to help with your annoyance while driving and feeling hangry? 🤔 Keep up the self-awareness and let me know how it goes! 😊🙏

"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness." - Seneca
Thank you. Great! Slowly sinking in. Very consistent w/principles of 12 step recovery. I'm glad i'm old. I can be unconcerned about the future cuz it's gonna be brief. Letting go is easier cuz holding on is so exhausting. Emotions, ugh. Trying to be friends w/my emotions, not enslaved
Carlos, thank you for sharing such a personal insight. It's fascinating to see the parallels between Stoicism and the principles of 12-step recovery. The journey to understanding and mastering our emotions is a profound one. I'm glad you've found solace in letting go. Do you find any specific Stoic teachings that have been particularly helpful in your journey? Your perspective can be invaluable for many! 🌟
@@stoicbond Thanks for asking, not sure how to answer, even though i recently turned 70, i'm still so clueless about so many things. My tired brain, more frequent "senior moments", things that seemed so urgent years ago now seem trivial. Love rules
I’ve navigated 58 years not in the present moment…Stoicism will be the standard by which I navigate the remainder of my journey.
I thank you✨🚀
Hey @curtjensen2465! 🙌 It's amazing to hear that you've found value in the video and are incorporating stoicism into your life journey. 🚀 What inspired you to start exploring stoicism after 58 years? 🤔 Keep up the great work and let me know how it goes! 😊
Thank you sir.
So good!
One point made in the perfection chapter is the “good enough” mindset. How good enough doesn’t equate to ‘mediocrity’, but it allows you to accept where you’re at in life, and maybe down the road you’ll be a little better. I’ve had that for a while and people around me, family involved, have always thought I just didn’t care about life or anything. I’ve always been pretty good at just accepting things. It doesn’t mean that I’m happy with the outcome, but there’s always something that can be learned in life I believe. It’s not something they’ve understood, or have tried to, and I don’t think that it’s my duty to help them understand. But that doesn’t mean that I’ll be dismissive. If it’s something they want to delve into I’m always more than happy to share my perspective with those that ask.
Thank you for this elucidation. Perfectionism is a big area I need to work on. This channel is a light to the world.
Hey @michaeljohnson8058, I'm glad you found the video helpful! Perfectionism can definitely be a tough habit to break, but I believe with the right mindset and tools, it's possible. 😊 What are some steps you plan on taking to work on it? 🤔 Keep striving for progress, not perfection! 🙌🏼
Thanks for waking me up from nightmare!
Love the philosophy. We take it one day at a time but then we have to retell a story of our past. That’s crazy. I’m recovering one day at a time in the here and now.

Hey @DoorNumber3Films, thanks for watching the video and sharing your thoughts! It's totally understandable to struggle with failure, especially when it involves others. 🤔 Have you ever considered how stoicism can help you navigate this situation? 💭 Maybe reframing failure as an opportunity for growth and focusing on what you can control can help ease your worries. What do you think? 🤔 Keep engaging with stoicism and let me know how it goes! 😊
I suppose it means that those who would treat me poorly for making mistakes were not worth the effort I put in to care for their opinions in the first place?

Hi...I enjoyed learning about the useful habits. However, I disagree with one habit concerning living in the past. Whenever I reflect on a certain peaceful time of my past...I get a happy feeling that I want to hang onto. I benefit from this dream state of mind. However on the flip side of things...I don't want to remember the sad and hard times I've experienced.
@CarolSeymour Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's valuable to hear different viewpoints. Reflecting on positive past experiences can indeed bring joy and comfort, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. The Stoic perspective typically emphasizes not getting overly attached to or dwelling on past events, be they good or bad. Do you feel that balancing these reflective moments with being present helps in your overall well-being? How do you usually navigate between cherishing past memories and staying present-focused? Your insights could provide a nuanced understanding for many in our community. Thanks for watching and engaging! 💭
great work as always. watching your videos never disappoints. 👍
Thank you so much, Sude! 🌟 Your continuous support and positive feedback mean a lot. It's viewers like you who inspire me to keep creating and sharing these teachings.

@@stoicbond i have some addictions im trying to overcome. an example would be spending most of my time on useless apps, thus not being able to complete my work. this has been going on for years, and only now im trying to fight it. im trying to apply the principles of stoicism to overcome this, trying to waste less and less time each day. perhaps a video on how to apply stoicism to overcome/fight/view addictions would be a good idea.

Thank You for another video of stoic wisdom. ❤️
@X66966
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! ❤️ It's great to have dedicated viewers like you. Out of curiosity, which Stoic teaching has had the biggest impact on your life? Let's discuss! 🤔
One Stoic teaching that has had a profound impact on my life is the emphasis on controlling one's emotions. While all Stoic teachings have their value, the practice of emotional control has been especially transformative for me. Stoicism teaches us that we have the power to choose how we react to external events, and that our emotions are, to a large extent, within our control. This has helped me navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and equanimity.
By my understanding of this teaching, it's not about being hard or emotionless, but rather about discerning what is truly worth our emotional energy and what is not. It has made me more empathetic to the virtues of life. I've learned to appreciate the importance of focusing on what's within my control, such as my thoughts and actions, while letting go of unnecessary emotional reactions to things beyond my control. This practice has allowed me to maintain a steady, calm mind in the face of adversity, and to respond to situations with wisdom and composure.
While I do still fail sometimes to live like the Stoic teachings, I do my best to live by what I've learned. It's an ongoing journey, and I'm continually working on applying these principles in my life.
Thank you so much ❤❤

I'm glad you like it! By the way, do you think the right background music can influence our mood towards Stoic teachings? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🎵
@@stoicbondI definitely believe it can (and does) influence our moods. The one you are using for these videos really helps me focus. There are several videos on UA-cam regarding stoicism but some use music that I feel is distracting from the subject matter. The one you are using here is relaxing and peaceful. A perfect fit! Don’t change it!
I struggle with all of these. And want to learn how to be stoic
How does a stoic remain humble? it seems to me that in the search for mind resilience, many stoics may end up staying too long inside their own heads, overcoming their desire for validation and finding peace within themselves, but stoics are going to be eccentric no matter what, most people are going to find us different. How not to think of ourselves so much when it is this inner dialogue that keeps us healthy? How can we avoid being judgemental, when we see people being clearly unhappy doing what we used to do as non-stoics? More importantly, how can we teach others about stoicism without pushing it to the side of preaching? I find myself that one of the hardest battles is knowing how to balance things, and knowing what you are doing is a perk not a requirement. What are you guy's thoughts on this?
Living in the past but this is helping

I'm dealing with all 7
Excellent , This is what Hindu Rishis have been teaching Indians for ages, which made India a Top nation on earth.
The day Indians forgot these values, came in Mughals and then British.
Reestablishing oursrlfs in these values Modi retakes India to top and Pakistan has none of these, but blame is on Hindus and India for their devastating performance.
America became super power because most Americans followed these values.
These values are more valuable than diamonds
I really like the music. OP can I have a link please?
These principles are timeless and so valuable if you practice them!
Hey there @bruceclark8333! 🤗 Thanks for watching the video and sharing your thoughts! 🙌 I'm glad you found the principles valuable. 🌟 Have you tried implementing any of them in your daily life? 🤔 Let me know how it's going for you! 🤗 Keep practicing and stay stoic! 💪
@@stoicbond I have learned and adoped many of these principles from the likes of Tony Robbins and other perosnal development coaches. And yes they have made a vast improvement in not only my life but those of my family and many of my clients. I continue to try and learn new aspects of self reflection and improvement in all areas of my life.
Odd feeling when you realize that THIS external validation helps realize you don’t need THIS external validation
Any books you recommend about stoicism?
Hey bruh where you get this type of font for caption?
Point one is not black and white. For example the company I work for introduced a new policy I completely disagreed with. So I left and I'm much more happy at my new job
This reminds me of taoism a lot, and DBT which is a modern therapy usually used for BPD.
Edit: i have bdp and adhd which both lead to poor impulse control. I have a really bad problem with gluttony and doing things for in the moment pleasure. This has lead to a less than ideal relationship with alcohol and money
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and drawing connections between Stoicism, Taoism, and DBT. 🙏 It's insightful to see how ancient philosophies and modern therapeutic practices can intersect and provide tools for self-improvement. Addressing impulse control and the challenges you've mentioned takes courage and self-awareness. Stoic teachings can be a useful tool in this journey. Have you found any particular Stoic practice or quote that helps you navigate through these challenges? Your journey and insights could be valuable for others facing similar struggles. Remember, you're not alone, and this community is here to support. Stay strong and keep growing! 💪✨ If ever things get too overwhelming, please consider seeking professional help or speaking with a trusted person in your life.
@@stoicbond I just started looking today. I think i like "this too shall pass" as it is used in dbt exactly as the story tells it.
Thank you for the support! I have been in therapy for years and am just now getting a handle on everything including meds
Knowing is half the battle.
Regret destroys future opportunities by consuming your time.
I’m doing really well with these lessons. But Im still on this cycle of slowly building up satisfaction and pride in myself
Without the validation of a pretty girl, until that way of being attracts a pretty girl, and then I slowly start needing validation from the pretty girl
Again… until I lose that validation and start the whole cycle again.
@kevinbeattie7297 Thank you for your honesty and introspection. It sounds like you've made progress, but the cycle of seeking external validation, especially in relationships, can indeed be challenging to break. Stoicism teaches us to derive contentment from within and not to rely heavily on external factors. How do you think applying Stoic principles might help you further break this cycle? Are there other areas in your life where you've successfully applied Stoic teachings? Your experiences might offer guidance and resonance for others facing similar challenges. Stay strong and continue reflecting! 💭
Progress in all things is the aim 🗿 👍

I like this new AI content.
7:59 the voice had a slip of the tongue at this timestamp
does anyone know if this is a real voice narrating or some program?
🙏🙏♥️♥️
I would not recommend being stoic unless you don't care about loosing everything to people who don't really care about all that.
❤❤
This content is excellent. The AI reader is unacceptable and truly disturbing to the very humanity who needs the content.

Rumination..... it's just a tough one to control...
1. Complaints out of your control
2. Seeking external validation
3. Being a slave to your emotions
4. Pursuit of excessive pleasure
5. Living in the past
6. Obsessing over the future
7. Seeking perfection in everything
8. Dont chase nobody who does not want to be in your life
9. Embrace what you are, I accept that I'm a sexy beast
10. Never date a woman with a tattoo of a dagger 🗡 🌹
Did anyone else realize after watching this one that the voice is a robot? XD
