And everyday - 5 minutes of STILLNESS. It releases all the go-go and focus. Once you get used to it you feel the wonderful of it. I can't live without it..
I've never been the first to a daily stoic video, but I wanted to say that this channel and it's lessons helped me through many difficulties in my life. Thank you Ryan :)
That's such an awesome feeling to be first right! 🤩 It's so nice to hear how much it's helped you. That shows other viewers (like me) that the teachings of the stoics works! Your comment helps because it's a way for others to relate and support each other. Live your day like theirs no tomorrow and I will too... haha 🤩 I have a challenge for you give 3 strangers a compliment or a smile before the week is done 😜 ✌️
0:17: 💡 Stoicism is a philosophy about making better choices and practicing essential habits. 2:38: 💪 To become beautiful, make beautiful choices and take action. 5:28: 🌅 Take action now and make choices that align with your values to become a better version of yourself. 8:23: ✨ The Stoics believed that happiness comes from accepting and being grateful for the present moment, doing the right thing, and being a force for good in the world. 10:51: 💡 Take responsibility for your own emotions and choose not to be affected by others. Embrace death to live in the present moment. Set boundaries to protect yourself and maintain control of your own life. 13:37: 📚 Stoicism encourages individuals to strive for self-improvement and the common good, but it is ultimately up to each person to follow the principles. Recap by Tammy AI
Thank you for the video, i want to share some of my routine: 1.Cultivating the Gratitude, start the day with telling myself what i am grateful about. 2.Finding joy in simple pleasures, whatever i am doing, making breakfast, walking outside (no matter the weather) just feel joy in everything you do. 3.Embracing mortality, when you understand that your time is not infinite, you start to value it more, procrastination disappears, gratitude comes. 4.Reminding myself my purpose. 5.Showing kindness to other. Is it complimenting others, helping others, or any other type of kindness. Stay Strong, Stay Stoic.
I noticed I’ve been a stoic all my life without knowing I was a stoic. I’ve been put down, mistreated and yet I’ve never gave those people permission to hurt me. So here I’m…at 65…in one piece and smiling in gratitude. Memento mortis…that’s my inspiration. Amore fati…made me strong!
As a newly-retired woman, I find myself with a new mindset. Each moment is an unopened gift. I make the decision to look inside to see the beauty and peace it provides.
I stumbled across the Daily Stoic two years ago--right when my sister's cancer recurred...and I myself was diagnosed with the same. I don't know how I would've got through these simultaneous calamities without Stoic philosophy to call upon...
Thank you for this video. I'm going through some stuff right now and it's easy to feel wronged, jaded, and hurt but it's my choice to dwell on it or not. Bless you.
Ryan, I’ve been following you for almost 6 months. This particular video today has hit a cord and I wanted to thank you. It’s reminded me who I am and what an amazing gift that is. 🎁✊🏻❤️ I hope you have a fabulous day. I’ll continue see you online my friend.
I appreciate very much that you describe main mindsets that may be simple to hear, but not as simple to get done regularly, and they must be done, and one day ( according to me - yesterday ) I really started all these practices every single day forward
I've been getting up at 3 to 4:30 in the morning for the last 3 months. Been doing this every summer my whole life.if you wake up early, you have a head start every day.i thrive no matter what life has thrown at me.everybody on the move,lets move
"Players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate) Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off" -Epictitus
I've been following your teachings for a while now, and am currently reading one of Ryan Holiday's book Ego is the Enemy. I've only known you as the Daily Stoic guy, I just realized that the two people I look up to are actually the same person. Wow, it's just astonishing to me. I love you man.
And when you are making good choices it doesn't seem like much but it can be amazing what can happen because of it. It's absolutely CURIOUS the way it happens - like magic!
I added the reading of Ryan Holiday's book, "The Daily Stoic ," to the reading of "The Daily Laws," by Robert Greene, to my every day reading. Amazing insights you pull from reading both of them in conjunction. Like having both of them mentoring you on disciplined thinking, living and achievement.
Ryan, this was incredibly helpful today. I needed this. I have many of your videos saved for when I need them, and I'm adding this to them. I often re-watch with my journal open to capture the nuggets to later operationalize in daily life.
This channel has helped me more than you may every know thank you Ryan for the work you’ve put in for us. I come back to you videos to rewatch weekly sometimes daily depending on life
Dude, just stumble across your channel as I'm peeling back the layers of the onion here and man you're speaking to me - thank you for this content and guidance. It's nice there's a little light out there to help guide the path we're beginning to take
Today, I don't feel myself anymore. A lot of thoughts on my mind, hate, and exhausted. I'm trying to live but seems life isn't my side. Thank you guys!!!
Thank you - love the regular emails, and have been here a fair few years now - Ryan - keep doing what you are doing, bringing this wonderful mindset to the often chaotic modern world.
I think a huge thing to remember is that when he wrote each of these he was literally writing it as a lesson to himself! All of these motivations have to come internally for a person to stay consistent. Another thing is if you spend your time with people that are vain you will think like them eventually, and the reverse is also true. I love the content it really is a noble mission to disperse this information and really explain it in depth! I can see by the look in your eyes when you shoot these videos, that your motivations, your “why” is to reach out to people who are ready to change the way they think but haven’t figured out how
I spent two months locked up (later found innocent of any crime). I'm grateful that I found Daily Stoic a year prior to that happening. Another inmate, someone who was already a friend on the outside who had been locked up numerous times (it was my first) said, "you can't even tell that you're green. You're handling this better than I am". I credit stoicism for that, because it was in my top five worst experiences (I'm extremely claustrophobic, was worried about my calico cat, and was facing 5-20). Thank you Epictetus (and Ryan Holiday for introducing me to him)
While all this sounds great, I strongly suggest to trust your instincts and that’s it, don’t over think it, Life is about living, not constantly thinking.
Truly finding stoicism is the only reason I’m alive still , half my friends died during Covid , suicides and overdoses , couldn’t handle nyc shutting down our industry shutdown and all the chaos- but I found stoicism and the daily email, and it’s made me such a better person and motivates me daily to be the best I can be while I’m here on this earth - thank you 🙏🏽
Great meditation to start the day=] "Choices, Values and Frames" the book by Amos Tyversky and Daniel Kahneman- takes this theory and colors in all of the implications of our decisions. Decision Economics is a beautiful blend of psychology, economics, and human behavoiur.
My wife and I are building a Mountain Timber Frame lodge style cabin in the mountains on a 1.5 acre parcel of "raw" land we purchased in 2016 after renting for 40 years. Bought a small sawmill, milled all the lumber ourselves and building the cabin with our own hands. The greatest adventure of our lives. And our children who are now grown are helping us build. All "debt-free". Is it easy? Hahaha. No. Do we have any regrets? No. We have lived a wonderful life no matter where we lived or what we had to do to give our children a loving and safe home. Married 34 years (together 39). We are best friends and partners. Our lives are our own. I don't care what anyone thinks about our choices. We have a plan and a vision and it's beautiful. Your life is a product of the choices you make. Be your own Hero as Joseph Campbell said and "Follow your bliss".
Just remember this fundamental lesson: sometimes the best use of your day is putting on the silly hat to make your friend laugh. Because you're not guaranteed tomorrow and it's the connections you have that make life worth it. Everything in moderation even stoicism. You have to let yourself live a little, but not to the point that it delays or upsets your goals. Have a piece of cake, don't have the whole cake. Little pleasures are necessary to keep your motivation. Spend time doing the little things with your your family and closest friends because one day you'll realize that the little things were the things that mattered most to them.
While it may always be a struggle to you to rise early, it may be in your best interests to take on the schedule that best suits you. If you are able to make a positive impact on the world to the best of your abilities, without getting up early, then that must be the best choice for yourself and in turn the world
I love your videos so full of energy and ideas. Sadly I don't seem able to receive your daily emails despite trying. Maybe because I'm in the UK? But I follow your books videos and Facebook x
“Choose to be harmed” needs deeper investigation. At a surface level, as explained here, it gives permission for racism, sexism. But where I think it does come into its own is in situations where people throw the words “they disrespected me’ around for everything that happens to them.
@@mindsetmotivation9124 true lol DG has never mentioned anything outside his scope. “Stayed in his lane” so just personal development is all I’ve ever heard from him. RH has been real vocal about his positions. But their insight on daily routines or goals and whatnot would be a great duo
Firstly thank you a lot for video But Iʼve a question for you. When I watch the video, I feel myself as full of energy but it's not consistently I mean, after some time I feel demotivated. Can you give me some advice to be positive in all the time?
I'm not a true student of the stoics, just a curious layman. Why do you think Marcus Aurelius, in spite of his wisdom, chose his disastrously flawed son to succeed him?
Hey Ryan, Love the videos. I have a challenge for you, which could be a TH-cam series you document. Set yourself a goal to do something like an Ironman 70.3 and try incorporate stoic teachings into the the discipline of training for an event like this. Good luck!
How can you say noone controls your feelings? If someone does great harm to your child, I don't think you choose anger or pain. Those feelings are just there.
I think you misunterstood the concept here. It's not about choosing the emotions, but the reaction. We can't control the feelings we will get, those are natural processes within our bodys. What we can choose is how we react to those emotions: Will we let anger take over and control our actions or will we recognize the feeling of anger consciously and choose how we will react in the situation with reason. This quote fits well here: "It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet." Marcus Aurelius
Why do you think it's a choice? I think we just react to everything. I think you can choose to do small things but most of the things that are in my life I didn't choose to have.
But what of I've discovered I easily do my BEST work from 12 am - 3 am? That is what my body and mind thrive on 👍 I should instead of fall for the FALSE premise that Im lazy? F no. So silly.
Thank you, Ryan!!! Choices everyday:
1. Is this essential?
2. Attack the Dawn.
3. Make beautiful choices.
4. Choose your lens.
5. Don't procrastinate.
6. We are what we do (habit and virtue).
7. Be in the Moment.
8. Be a Force for Good.
9. Choose NOT to be "harmed."
10. Be strict with yourself.
11. Practice Acceptance
12. Acquire fearlessness. (Stop worrying about the future).
13. Create boundaries.
14. Fight for yourself --- Fight to be the person Stoicism wants you to be.

I love being able to use this channel and the book, the daily stoic together. Implementation of stoicism in my life has been eye opening.

Stay Stoic Brothers Amen! 🙏🏼

Every effort we make is gold. Excellent video.

Inner Citadel is a powerful metaphor for boundaries with all stoic adds on (virtues, habits, philosophy and learning).

Crazy I hope a daily stoic add watching a daily stoic vid
Stay stocic everyone 🔥
thanks
Love this ❤
Help me understand the “choose to be harmed”
“Choose to be harmed” needs deeper investigation. At a surface level, as explained here, it gives permission for racism, sexism.
But where I think it does come into its own is in situations where people throw the words “they disrespected me’ around for everything that happens to them.
Good 👍
How do you balance being kind to yourself and being strict with yourself?
You and David Goggins need a podcast.
That would be badass if it stayed on personal development!! But Ryan’s super woke so general conversation would be tricky.

STEP UP.
Any correlation with Human Design types - or just a self assessment of nonconformity and/or degree of decodionoing?
10. Be strict with yourself - > I against I

You make me remember philosophy

Hi! ☕
I do have an genuine question - why is you bookshelf not organized? I'm asking this from a stoic mindset...
❤❤❤

Is this essential? Is art essential? Is creating essential?
