Welcome to the Daily Stood Podcast where each day we bring you a passage of ancient wisdom designed to help you find strength, insight, and wisdom every day life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000-year-old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more you can visit us at DailyStood.com.

Not no emotions, no useless emotions.

Stoicism, as we have said, is not the elimination of emotion, it's the regulation of them.

Effectively, as Nassim Taleb has said, it's the domestication of your urges and impulses and knee-jerk reactions. It's okay to be surprised. It's okay to be scared. It's okay to be hurt.

Stoicism, as we have said, is not the right way to help others. It's not the right way to help others. It's not the right way to help others.

Stoicism, as we have said, is not the right way to help others. It's not the right way to help others. It's not the right way to help others.

As Ruth Bader Ginsburg once explained, my mother's advice was don't lose time on useless emotions like anger, resentment, remorse, envy. Those, she said, will just sap time. They don't get you where you want to be. And one way Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she coped with being angry was that I would sit down and practice the piano.

I'm very good at it, but it did distract me from whatever useless emotions I was feeling at the moment. Later, I did the same thing with the cello, she said, I would be absorbed in the music and the useless emotion faded away.

A stoic isn't an emotionless robot. They're also not just a body at the whim of every feeling originating from the heart or the brain. We are in control. Our ruling reason makes the decision. That's where we're trying to get.

And look, we have two challenges here at Daily Stoke that I think will help you get to that place of being in charge rather than being at the mercy of your whims.

Our tame your temper challenge, if you've got a problem with anger, and look, you don't have to have an anger problem to have a problem with anger.

And then our slay your stress challenges, another one if your demons are anxiety or worry or fear or stress.

And so you can check both those out at DailyStoke.com. They're in the Daily Stoke store. Also, if you sign up for Daily Stoke Life, you get those two challenges and all our other ones completely for free. So check it out DailyStoke.com.
