Stop Chasing Control: A Stoic Cure for Anxiety
from Keiron’s Mind Hosted by keiron
In this episode the host grounds themselves in gratitude and reflects on a passage from Epictetus about the roots of anxiety. Using everyday examples—a worried parent, a frenzied traveler, and a nervous investor—the episode explains how anxiety comes from wanting things outside our control. Listeners are encouraged to ask whether their worries are within their control and whether anxiety is helping them, and to use mindful awareness to reclaim calm.
