E073: Keep Showing Up
“When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.” – Marcus Aurelius
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
Self-control is not a static state. We all mess up from time to time. We skip a workout. We hit the snooze button. We lose our temper. We overindulge food or drink. To err, as the Alexander Pope poem reminds us, is human.

We talk about the importance of showing up again on today’s podcast!
