Indifference to the Thoughts of Others

Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.

Today’s guided meditation will be on indifference regarding the thoughts of others. As human beings and social creatures, we often orient our lives so we can get praise and avoid criticism of those within our social circle. The Stoics taught that we should focus on the opinion we have of ourselves instead of attempting to seek others for validation and approval.

P.S. If it sounds like there are two different people talking during this video, it is because I was under the weather for part of the recording. Apologies if it is distracting.

Would be curious to see a guided meditation on stoic judgement (or cultivating right judgement vs. nonjudgement in mindfulness)
