One of the things I learned about Stoics, is that they channel their anxiety and stress into their morning called 'Negative thinking'. They recognize that the people I will interact with today will be mean, emotional, and unyielding. Or something like that. And that you should expect this. Negative thinking prepares you for the day, after the morning is over. You don't so negative thinking until the next morning. The rest of the day is dedicated to learning, and dedicated to teaching others.
I listened to Derren Brown's audibook "Happy". It is very intellectual at times but he has a great voice and his command of the English language is inspiring but the message of the importance of stoicism really hit a chord with me and I've been a disciple of this way of life ever since. Thank you Derren for introducing this to me.
I remember a show yrs ago called Mind Control with DB. It was awesome and I never understood why they removed it other than the fear we might learn 2 much..all his books r great, but my fave is Confessions of a Conjuror….alot of people just don't understand how this need to believe covers up from us seeing truth..Twain was right..easier 2 fool them rather than to convince them they r being fooled. Nothing 2 do with happiness, but was just what I'm 🤔
I'm struggling and considering suicide. But this video has helped me a lot. You have to embrace the struggle and accept it's ever present and an opportunity to grow. I'm going to try to take these lessons forward for the sake of my family and friends

As a ROCK, I like his use of the word "porous". Nice one Derren, maybe I'll absorb more.
