30 days The Daily Stoic Journal challenge On 03.03 I received my order for both The Daily Stoic Journal and the original The Daily Stoic book written by @ryanholiday and @stevehanselman I stumbled upon Ryan’s YouTube channel “Daily Stoic” just a few weeks ago during a time of a great need to change, to learn how to deal with stress and anxiety in a better way and how to let things that are not under my control go away. Of course, I have a long way ahead of myself and my journey in stoicism has just begun, but I am grateful for everything that came into my way - both good and bad and I am ready to face the future. Both books are crafted for you to reflect on your day, journal like Marcus or Seneca who were way ahead of their time and we can learn so much from both even in the modern age. I will further share my 30 days journey and my opinion about both books and how they have improved my daily routine. Thank you for being here 😊 . . . . . . . . . #stoicmindset #philosphy #philosophyquotes #philosophicalthoughts #thedailystoic #philosophical #stoics #dailystoic #stoicphilosophy #stoicism #marcusaurelius #seneca #booklover #cloudwrites #readingtime📖 #journalcommunity #journalideas #bookstagrammeroflagos #booksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXe07oIxfE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE DAILY STOIC: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by R. Holiday & S. Hanselman

On the way to work

Nothing much is new. As usual, im running late but I do not worry about the time at the moment. It took me an hour in the shower because I’ve been thinking a lot. Realized so many things and created role play scenarios in my head which sorta helped me think through stuff clearly.

I’ve listened to few podcast episodes a couple of days ago and reflected on what I’ve learned from them. And I know that to really learn is to understand it then apply it. Growing up, I missed to know how to accept people from being who they are because I lived through my beliefs on decency and conservativeness. I’ve always wanted to inspire them and teach people how to decently live their lives, but I became selfish for building a standard that I expect them to follow. I lack understanding. I’ve realized that people are individually different from each other and how their life has been growing up has influenced them. And life has taught them. And whatever their choices are is out of my control. Sure I can inspire people, impart them what I know and nurture their minds with constant reminders not to resort to any bad decisions and acts but I cannot shape them with my own hands because they don’t owe me a favor. I cannot push them to be someone I want them to be just to please and meet my standards. It’s not caring at all, it’s selfishness. And to truly care is to teach people to be themselves in the most decent way they can.

To become a true stoic is to not be a snowflake. “Snowflakes, whether they are on the left or the right, are miserable because they need the world to be a certain way--their way. They are constantly at risk of being upset and disturbed because someone else--someone with views different than their own--has the power to say or do or think for themselves. A Stoic, on the other hand, is open-minded and content to let others live and think as they wish.”

Being that super confined kind of a person, I forgot that each people has their own ways on how to live their lives. And what is effective for me cannot always be that effective to them. I judge them because they do something I don’t, and just because I don’t like them I automatically omit the value of their ideas. Which isn’t a trait of a true stoic. And for someone like me who aspires to Influence others. I realized that in order to teach people is truly understand them for who they are.

I might have really been selfish especially to the people who matters to me because I get upset just because they don’t completely meet the standards I solely created for myself, which technically means it could only work for myself and not for others.

For years, this is what’s actually missing. Acceptance of others. I’ve confined myself within my own bars. And to truly love people is to truly accept and understand them. And teach them without and judgement. I have realized that whatever they like and believe in as long as it does not harm themselves or anyone is not as bad as I think it was. And that people’s uniqueness is what made each one of us distinctive and beautiful. And I am happy to finally accept everyone for who they are and unload these wrong expectations. We are all beautiful human beings and we are designed to be different for a reason. Let’s empower each other’s difference.

Much love,

Chi ♥️

The Impossible, The Unlikely

The Impossible, The Unlikely

I wish I had never gone to medical school, it’s funny because I never thought that the day I say these words out loud would actually come. Don’t get me wrong, I do not regret leaving the lab, the salary was pure injustice and the system wasn’t ideal, I just wish I pursued a different path. But the past is something that I cannot ever change, there is zero chance to change the choices I made in…

Prepare For The Storm! Did Epictetus see into the future too? Storm Eunice is battering away in the background as I read today’s entry. The wind is roaring through the trees. 60 mph. I started a thing this week. Recording every time I had a verbal mini rant to myself and every time I ran a negative scenario though my mind of what ‘could happen’. A bad habit that I got into from living on my own for many years is to have mini rants, exclaim out loud or call myself names when I have an accident or do something stupid. It’s a bad habit to have and I’m working on stopping it. I’m averaging about 10 rants a day which is ridiculous. 😵‍💫 The negative thoughts are easier to control and to be fair to myself I have worked on those for the last two years during the pandemic. I’ve only slipped up once on that this week. I’m not documenting this on here for praise. I’m doing it openly so that it’s harder to hide from. It’s an admittance. It’s out there. I’m not quite the person in the street, chuntering away to myself or randomly shouting out loud so don’t be afraid 🤣 #thedailystoic #epictetus #prepareforthestorm #positivevibes #positivewaves #metalhobbit (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaHTkQSrQd7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reposted from @op.coaching You become what you feed your mind from the food you consume, environment you download and wisdom absorb. Most people with a smart phone or laptop who see this have some choice and influence to all of the above. - Your general thoughts - Your adaptive response to events / people / environments - The food you put in your mouth - The environment you spend your time in. Nature / indoors. - The media you utilise to your advantage or disadvantage and beliefs / opinions you take from them — Shout out to @sucesspictures for the original. I have just tweaked it to nutrition, environment and wisdom which also feeds your mind on an epigenetic level 🧠 — Happy Monday!

Take Control, Dear Self

Take Control, Dear Self

Choose the objective eye at all times. Listen to your own problems and give yourself advice as if you were giving advice to someone else. Come to think of it, the solution is crystal clear when you’re looking at other people’s dilemmas, but the world seems to crash and burn when we are dealing with our own. Ask yourself, is this really worth fussing over? Why are you even fussing in the first…

clear your mind and get a hold on yourself and, as when awakened from sleep and realizing it was only a bad dream upsetting you, wake up and see that what's there is just like those dreams. | Marcus Aurelius Laging sakto yung book sa nararamdaman or nararanasan ko at the moment. #instagood #instamood #instagram #thoughts #thoughtoftheday #philippineimages #igers #igersph #book #bookrecommendations #thedailystoic https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ-_8RZPu7O/?utm_medium=tumblr
