About this episode

This episode explores the Stoic question of what there is to fear and emphasizes focusing on what is within our control to alleviate anxiety.

This episode centres on a question from Epictetus: what is there to fear? By focusing only on what’s truly within our control—our choices and character—we loosen the grip of anxiety. With fear quieted, attention returns to the present, where even ordinary moments become material for reflection and growth. 👇 👇 👇 📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT Check out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack: ☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: Curl Up And Be Warm In The Present https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-curl-up Hosted on Acast.
