Taking the world less seriously | 5 stoic tips that help us
Hey everyone,
Are you also feeling so drained by the current world situation? We felt exactly the same way until recently. Too much information and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed and uncertain. These negative feelings drain our energy, aren't fun, and don't help anyone. Not us, not those around us, and certainly not the world. So what can we do?
We read a lot, Markus dug out some old philosophy books, and we looked for inspiration and tips on how to cope with it more easily in everyday life without letting it completely burn us out. We've come up with 5 simple rules that have become second nature to us:
1) You don't have to have an opinion on everything.
2) You decide whether and how you react to things.
3) Focus on what's within your control.
4) You are the product of your habits.
5) Don't worry about potential future problems.
This video explains why these simple rules from the ancient Greeks (the Stoics) help us feel less exhausted by the state of the world and navigate these times with more confidence. Enjoy watching! 😊
As always, we're really looking forward to connecting with you and wish you a wonderful start to the Christmas season! ⭐️ 😊
It's great to have you here – come join us!
... Giuls & Markus
