Staying Strong in January: How Stoicism Can Help
Today, we explore the timeless wisdom of Stoic philosophy, using a powerful quote by Seneca as our guide. As we navigate the challenges and pitfalls of January, often marked by “Quitter's Day,” we explore how this Stoic insight can help us persevere and thrive. Join us in discovering how embracing life's difficulties can lead to personal growth and resilience, the importance of facing setbacks head-on, and the significance of hitting the “reset button” each day. Find inspiration and practical advice to fortify your resolve and overcome obstacles as we embark on this journey of self-improvement together.

EPISODE & DATE:
Episode 6 - published on January 23rd 2024
KEY CONSIDERATIONS:
In this episode, we explore 3 key areas:
- Face Your Difficulties: Embrace life's challenges head-on and accept that nothing will go perfectly. There’s very few straight lines between where you are now and where you want to be. Persisting through these difficulties and coming out the other side is what helps build you up as a person and strengthens your mind.
- Recognise Your Humanity: We’re not built for perfection. We’re not robots who can repeat an action and never miss a day’s work. You’re going to fail, miss a milestone, go off course. Once you understand this you can work on being compassionate to yourself and use a more encouraging inner voice.
- The Reset Button: Recognize that every day is a fresh start, a chance to learn from setbacks. Hit the reset button, and approach each new day with renewed determination. This will allow you to continually progress toward your goals and ultimately achieve the success you desire.
