The Stoics liken mental resilience to the training of a wrestler—constantly prepared for any challenge. Invest time and effort into mental exercises to build strength of character and adaptability, much like a wrestler trains their body. Embrace Epictetus' teaching of confidence in things outside your control, trusting the natural order and focusing on what you can influence—your impressions, opinions, and desires. Train your mind like a boxer, who relies solely on their internal strength rather than external tools, by actively practicing Stoic principles. Confront your fear of death, recognizing it as a natural part of life, and free yourself from the many other fears that stem from this primal anxiety. By facing your fears and understanding that they are often exaggerated perceptions, you can diminish their power over you. Practice premeditatio malorum—anticipate challenges and difficulties—to reduce their impact when they arrive and maintain your equanimity. Join William as he shares personal anecdotes and practical advice on integrating these Stoic exercises into your daily routine, empowering you to live a tranquil, resilient, and fulfilling life.
