“One person likes tending to his farm, another to his horse; I like to daily monitor my self-improvement.” — Epictetus

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

There are plenty of schools of thought on room clearing, but one universal truth is that thresholds are dangerous places, and how we approach them and negotiate them requires coordination and communication. That is why instructors encourage us to pause before crossing or entering a threshold. A quick pause, or ‘threshold check,’ allows us an opportunity to assess the situation before moving. It is, above all, an exercise in self-awareness. How can we apply this tactical concept to our personal lives? We discuss it on the podcast today.
