Quotes to ponder:

"I see this type of thinking in almost all my clients, and it’s hard to admit that I see it in myself."

"It’s important for me to feel this, to realize that it is natural for people to have a hard time letting go, and to understand that possessing objects can and does often make us feel safe."

"Minimizing is a process. A step here, a step there, when we’re ready."

Episode 3245:

Mr. Money Mustache explores the profound philosophy of Stoicism, debunking common misconceptions and revealing how its principles can lead to a joyful and meaningful life. By practicing techniques like Negative Visualization and focusing only on what we can control, we can eliminate negative emotions and anxieties, cultivating a deep sense of appreciation for what we already have.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/10/02/what-is-stoicism-and-how-can-it-turn-your-life-to-solid-gold/

Quotes to ponder:

"Stoicism, in short, is a series of mental techniques and ways of life that allow you to decrease, and then virtually eliminate, all negative emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety, and dissatisfaction."

"The solution, the Stoics realized, is to learn to want the things you already have, rather than wanting other things."

"It turns out that if you practice negative visualization on a regular basis, you learn to both appreciate your current life much more, and to be mentally prepared in the event of any changes in your life as well."
