The Paradox of The Dichotomy of Control

In today's episode, we delve into the practice of the dichotomy of control, a fundamental principle in Stoic philosophy.

While many people intellectually understand the concept of differentiating between things within their control and things outside their control, they often struggle to find genuine emotional relief. I explore the paradoxical nature of the dichotomy of control and provide insights on how to deepen the practice for maximum benefit.

I found this very interesting thank you . I’ve been suffering some stress from a place I wasn’t expecting…. I had pretty much managed a way of living to manage my working and personal life calmly…. But when my brother became very unwell along with a friend and another friend passing, I really struggled with the stress….. I tried so hard to use all the tools I had learned to calm myself but the palpitations kept coming….. anyway after three months, I managed to calm myself and hold these parts of my life gently, and now my heart is calm and so is my mind

Thank you, Jon—that makes sense to me!
