In this episode we look at what Epictetus tells us about why we react to situations we believe are “causing” our emotional pain.
Key insights from Epictetus include:
“People are disturbed not by things, but by the views which they take of things.”
“If someone irritates you, it is only your own response that is irritating you. Therefore, when anyone seems to be provoking you, remember that it is only your judgment of the incident that provokes you.”
It is not an actual occurrence in the outside world that causes distress. Rather, it is our reaction to that occurrence based on our beliefs.
You’ll discover exactly how to recognize subconscious beliefs leading to disempowering reactions and then create the mindset to respond from an emotional state of equanimity and balance.
