In this live stream we talk about the power of Stoic Wisdom to help us become emotionally stable, mentally strong, and persevere in the face of adversity.

We discuss the main tenets of Stoicism which include the following:

• Events are not inherently good or bad, rather it is our interpretation of the event that makes it so
• Know the clear distinction between that which we can control and that which we cannot control
• The only thing we can truly control is our deliberate thoughts
• Prepare for the "worst case scenario" by doing a recon ahead of time, fear setting, or dress rehearsal before the high-stress event (i.e., performance, interview, speech, first date, etc.) and realize that it's not the end of the world if it goes awry.
• Decatastrophizing (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy term) is about thinking about what could go wrong, allowing yourself to feel the icky emotions associated with that unfavorable outcome, and then going into the event super prepared for any outcome that is outside of your control.

By making a conscientious effort toward building our mental fortitude, we'll become calmer, more confident and less reactive communicators. 

With that, let's remember to take everything in stride and enjoy every single minute on this planet.

There's no such thing as failure; only teachable moments and learning outcomes!

Happy Explearning 😊
