Stoicism
At its core, Stoicism is a way of life that teaches us to focus on what we can control (our thoughts, actions, and attitudes) and let go of what we can’t (pretty much everything else). The Stoics believe that our minds are our most powerful tool, and by training them, we can rise above life’s inevitable ups and downs without losing our cool. Think of it as emotional alchemy – turning chaos into calm.
