Regarding the first: Think about how you act when someone is threatening to shoot you with a rubber band. Flinching from the anticipation is usually a lot worse than getting hit.

[Maevelikeschampagne]

Brilliant. I’ve been exploring stoicism as part of my personal development and have been amazed how it’s connected to CBT.

You've helped me Ryan, Thank you

I always had trouble applying the first one but one good way to apply it is by timing yourself 1 minute and going through all your senses. Smell, hear, taste, see, touch don’t think just be.

Unexpectedness adds to the weight of a disaster.
Disaster weighs heavily on those who expect nothing but good fortune.
-Seneca

[trevordenver]

This is the reason I very lean on stoic ideals in life; it sends a very basic message of balance, to be balanced in how you think and what you do, to prepare for the worst but not to think on it so much that you ens up dreading it.

A great recap on to live in the here and now and not stress about the future or what your brain thinks could potentially happen

I recently found your channel, and my only regret is I wish I had found it sooner. Great info. Keep it up. I enjoy the points of view of ancient philosophers.

First quote to me personally means thinking too much about the after of a action is worse than suffering from the action alone.

Second is pretty much : expect the worst at all times but be prepared rather then thinking

[BlairPittams]

I'm in an environment if I needed medical help it's not going to happen.
I'm understanding in what's going to happen but it's numbing all anxiety

[Jlinwoodjackson]

Stoicism this, stoicism that, stoicism for years…. On end… in every video.

At least he is consistent

[antoman]

It's a pity our great leaders had never heard number 2 before COVID.

[MassMultiplayer]

i didnt think about that - you had one job

[rosemarietolentino]

I used to be a Stoic and love it for if you don’t have Jesus Christ. I just find it entertaining now to watch others try and figure out what to do in God’s world.
