How to Stop Your Emotions from Running Your Life

Описание

Ruth got into a heated argument with her sister. She knew she was overreacting. She could feel it. But she could not stop herself. The anger just took over.In this episode, Michael teaches Ruth the Stoic model of emotion — impression, judgment, response — and reveals Seneca's devastatingly simple advice for anger: delay. Not suppression. Delay. A few seconds is all it takes for your rational mind to catch up with your emotional reaction.Stoicism does not ask you to eliminate emotions. It teaches you to create a space between what you feel and what you do.📚 Sources:• Seneca — On Anger, 2.4• Epictetus — Enchiridion, Chapter 5• Marcus Aurelius — Meditations, 11.18.5• Viktor Frankl — Man's Search for MeaningFollow @DailyStoicismMentality for daily Stoic wisdom.#stoicism #emotions #anger #seneca #epictetus #marcusaurelius #emotionalintelligence #mentalhealth #selfcontrol #mindfulness #stoicphilosophy #onanger #stimulus #response #stoicismmentality #practicalphilosophy #selfimprovement #wisdom #innerpeace #dailystoic
