Master Anger Like a Stoic - Advice Seneca

Catch anger before it catches you

Seneca said the key to mastering anger is to catch it early. Before it takes over.

“Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.”

The Stoics believed emotions like anger don’t come out of nowhere. They build slowly.

Your heart rate rises. Your jaw clenches. Your thoughts speed up.

That’s your warning. That’s when you step back.

If you wait until you’re already shouting or reacting, it’s too late.

Real strength is spotting the spark before it becomes a fire.

Control begins with awareness.
