You’ve Been Using Stoicism Wrong

from The D'Ascenzo Zone · host Mike D'Ascenzo

Stoicism. It’s not about being emotionless, detached, or suppressing how you feel. That version, sometimes called, “Broicism”, is everywhere online, but real Stoicism is about understanding your emotions, not letting them overtake you, and focusing on what you can control. In this episode, I break down:• The Stoic dichotomy of control (what you can vs can’t control)• Why your thoughts—not events—create most of your stress• How Stoicism connects to modern psychology (CBT, locus of control, reframing)• Powerful ideas from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus• Practical Stoic habits you can use dailyIf you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, overthinking, anger, comparison, or regret, this is could help. Stoicism won’t fix everything. But used correctly, it can offer useful perspective. _____________________________________________________________If you're enjoying the podcast, consider supporting:• https://buymeacoffee.com/tdzpodcast• Buy My Children's Book: https://www.amazon.ca/Tiffy-Spiffy-Mr... __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The D'Ascenzo Zone: ◼︎Subscribe:    / @thedascenzozone  ◼︎ Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7FMIr4z...◼︎Mike's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikedascenz...◼︎TDZ Instagram:   / thedascenzozone  ◼︎Tik Tok: tiktok.com/@thedascenzozone◼︎For Business Inquiries: [email protected]_____________________________________________________________TDZ Episode 028 - Stoicism [Solocast]00:00#podcast #tdz
