In this practical episode of "Practical Stoicism," I delve into the critical art of forming good habits, a cornerstone of personal growth and self-improvement. Starting with a deep dive into the nature of bad habits—those that are not chemical addictions or compulsions but rather result from habituated choices—I draw from the profound insights of Epictetus on the realms of choice and control.I emphasize that our actions and behaviors are within our grasp, aiming to guide you through the transformative process of becoming your best self by making deliberate choices. By clearly distinguishing between what is within our control and what is not, I set the stage for overcoming undesirable habits.With wisdom from Chrysippus and practical strategies for reshaping our behavior, this episode offers a Stoic roadmap to replace chronic behaviors with virtuous habits, guiding you on a transformative journey towards self-discipline and enlightened character development.--Become a Patron: https://stoicismpod.com/membersPlant some trees: https://stoicismpod.com/treesDownload Stoicism260: https://stoicismpod.com/appSubscribe to the newsletter: https://practicalstoicism.net/subscribePre-order my book: https://stoicismpod.com/bookPodcast Artwork by Randy Johnson: https://originalrandy.comLearn more about your ad choices.
