Laying the Foundation: Understanding Control & Stoicism

In this module, we'll lay the groundwork for thriving by exploring the core principles of Stoicism. You'll learn how to distinguish between what you can and cannot control, a fundamental step in managing stress and building resilience. We'll delve into practical applications of these principles in your daily life. As Marget says, it's all about 'release what you cannot control and then ground yourself with the things that you can do.'

Identify Your Control Factors: A Daily Reflection

Daily

Start each day by reflecting on the things you can and cannot control. This exercise helps you focus your energy where it matters. Create two lists: 'Things I Can Control' and 'Things I Cannot Control'. We'll use implementation intentions - 'If X, then I will do Y' - to solidify this habit.
