Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast where each weekday we bring you a

meditation inspired by the ancient Stoics, a short passage of ancient wisdom designed to help you find strength and insight

here in everyday life. And on Wednesdays we talk to some of our fellow students of ancient philosophy

well-known and obscure, fascinating and powerful. With them we discuss the strategies and habits that have helped them become who they are

and also to find peace and wisdom in their actual lives. But first we've got a quick message from one of our sponsors.

Let's say you love sports but are also, you know, a busy person. You want to know the latest sports news but don't want to sit through a two-hour podcast.

Alright, if we're talking about you right now then check out the new podcast from Wondering.

Listen to the lead starting 5 on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcast.

It's too early to quit on yourself. It was only a couple of weeks ago now that we were all talking about how 2022 was going through

the year. The year for our goals and resolutions. We were talking about our plans for joining this jam or starting that project.

We were so ambitious. So naive. But 19 days into 2022 the new year novelty is wearing off and our motivation is to a couple of years ago a study of 800

million people across the globe found that January 19th is the day that most people quit on their New Year's resolutions.

In January 19th has since been dubbed Quitter's Day. Disgraceful Marcus really is, would say for the soul to give up when the body is still going strong.

So goes for giving up on the year so early. It is yet young. You still have time. So much time. Don't quit on yourself.

And that is why we chose today to do something that we've never done here before at Daily Sto. We're relaunching the Daily Stoic New Year New Year challenge.

In the past it's always been a live challenge for the first three weeks of the year. You either got on or you missed it.

But this year we've decided we wanted to help more people. We got so many requests about it that we felt really excited to do it.

And we wanted to help people avoid quitting on themselves and falling back to their old easier, more convenient, bad habits.

So for one week only you can sign up and immediately begin the 2022 New Year New Year challenge at your own pace.

We recorded edited time stamp to my live Q&A's. That's three hours of me answering questions on a wide variety of topics including how I applied Stoicism to my own life.

My goals, my practices, my lessons from the challenge this year. We talk about what to do when you're overwhelmed and you've taken on too much ways to rethink your habits, routines, when life gets too chaotic.
