As a female, I have watched many lessons on stoicism. Helps me to contain myself and not allow mistreatment and stand my own ground. I am still in my feminine, but I won’t tolerate bs or be controlled by others. I walked away from my ex after he verbally disrespected me - 6 years wasted. But his words showed me how he really felt. I heard him loud and clear - walked away and haven’t looked back.

Your decision to walk away from a disrespectful situation reflects the Stoic virtues of self-respect and wisdom. It's not about the years spent, but the strength you've gained. Do you feel that Stoicism has also helped you in moving forward positively after such a significant change in your life? Your journey is inspiring! 💪🌸

@@stoicbond Seneca is my favourite stoic. I am reading "letters from a Stoic" which is very inspirational for me. I balance kindness and compassion by allowing others to make their own decisions -even if their decision is to not value their friendship with you. Seneca advises to judge a person before committing to a friendship. A bit like marriage I suppose- you don't pick the first one you come across. I do not cut people out of my life. It's more allowing them to decide their own path and not clinging to something that may mean more to me than it does to them. By not clinging you open up to new possibilities and new friends that may value you more.

It's unfortunate that many of us tend to learn these things later in life: the importance of self-respect and self-love (because others will mirror back to us how we perceive ourselves). Givers have limits, but there is no limit to those who only take. This is why the most giving and open-hearted grow resentful, but it's primarily a call to respect oneself enough to set necessary boundaries - even on our giving. Balance is key, as you have acknowledged. Your comment resonates.

In that time I've also endured and politely accepted the dislike of a few others for staying true to myself.

@@stoicbond hi! Well stoicism was influenced by many philosophers, one being Socrates. Socrates credits philosophers Aspasia and Diotima as his instructors and teachers. I believe many don’t know this. Female philosophers existed, just like female artists, and rulers existed in history but they are suppressed and not given the recognition men have. This creates the idea that stoicism is this male discipline when it is not. There needs to be greater exposure to female philosophers because it is not that women are not capable of this discipline they simply were not given the attention men were, and mankind has a history of misogyny and ignorance, and that still didn’t stop women’s ability to create, invent, rule, and be philosophers. It is frustratingly hard to find these women but they exist. The aspects of stoicism that could foster inclusive community is the incessant repetition of stoicisms relation to emotion. This particular aspect is what made me curious with stoicism, I met men that would call themselves stoic when they did insensitive things, they summarized to be stoic is to be void and suppress emotion. I thought how could philosophers create such beliefs? Having learned myself stoicism is not to be void or the suppression of emotion rather the extreme control of one’s emotions(among other principles). I believe this is where men try to take ownership of stoicism. If men believe in stoic principles they need to learn those are principles influenced by female philosophers like aspasia and diotima. I wrote a paper on the art piece “Aspasia surrounded by Greek philosophers”. Stoicism is not a male philosophy, it is a philosophy for anyone with emotion and life.

For a stoic woman, we don't sleep around. We know it's an inner power depleter. WE DO NOT DRINK. we don't like 'things' that control ourselves, like cigarettes or pills or food. Anything that depletes our common sense and makes money for someone else, AND causes health problems. We do not want to take a mate that does not have self-control. When overcoming, keep your legs crossed, and life will give you clear thinking. People's opinions do not matter when we know we have power in our spiritual guide to lead us on from there. But life will not get better if one loosely gives One's sexual energy away. CELIBACY IS A BIG PART OF A STOICS' life. Start with that, and see if you are stoic material. This isn't about religion. This is a normal lifestyle. We have been greatly misled. Someone will comment that I'm not making sense. That's because I have upset them and their guile behavior.

Stoicism indeed values mastery over desires, but it's worth noting that it primarily focuses on internal virtues and rational judgment.

I stumbled upon stoicism a few days ago and discovered that I'm a stoic. I guess I naturally have a high EQ and have always been calm under pressure ever since I was a child. I believe I further developed my stoicism seeking personal growth following my divorce. My friends were amazed at how I handled my ex-husband cheating on me. I confronted them both (him and his mistress) in a calm state and walked away when I felt I needed to. I gave myself 3 months to process my emotions and told myself that by the 3rd month, I would let go of everything and I did. I then fully prioritized my inner peace. That was 8 years ago. I am currently in a relationship (5 years and counting) and boundaries were clear and set from the onset. I am no longer looking at relationships from an idealistic point of view but cherish it one day at a time.

@@stoicbond I would say there are a few key takeaways that have helped me the most. The number one takeaway was staying calm and if I had trouble staying calm, I would politely excuse myself from the situation. Stoicism teaches us that we have no control over anything outside of ourselves. We take our personal power back by not reacting to outside situations in an emotional way. Another key takeaway that helped immensely is the value of knowledge. I am not just speaking of intellectual knowledge, but wise and spiritual knowledge. I found that even if I didn't particularly like someone or vice versa, we could still learn from each other. If you are in a position to learn new knowledge within an industry take it. Even if it is being taught by someone you don't like. I found that my biggest agitators in the industry became my dearest colleagues and some of them, friends. It was all because I latched onto tangible facts, also known as objective data. I didn't let my emotions cloud my judgement which is known as subjective data (data based on opinions, beliefs, and emotions). I decided my thirst for success in life was more important than voicing how I felt. As women, we are nurturers full of strength! We have been told that we are full of weakness but that is only because of emotions left unchecked. We've been around that woman who gossiped a lot, was way too competitive, and all around toxic! This is what people see us as when we don't lift each up and encourage one another's potential. I have been around women who have tried to compete with me in my industry. It never works out for them. The men in our industry value strength, poise, mental resilience, and above all, respect. If you as a woman embody these values, the stoic mindset will guide you into true success and fulfillment.

I stopped being a “statue made of salt” Nor “the salmon” in my journey. stoicism reminds of buddhism. Be ok with the now. I don’t worry about things I can’t control. Channeled delayed anger is the best type, comes with less regrets. Thank for this KZitem channel love it 😊

@officialpatrice4976 It's wonderful to hear that you find value in Stoicism, applying it broadly in your life. Absolutely, Stoicism isn't gender-specific; its wisdom is for everyone. It's all about how we navigate life's ups and downs, isn't it? I'm curious, though - have you found any Stoic teachings particularly resonant with your experiences as a woman?

I bring a unique perspective to this conversation: I have studied philosophy and psychology for decades, attempting to understand what the thinking & intentions are BEHIND the actions of disgruntled individuals (BOTH SEXES!!!) ***WHO OBVIOUSLY CANNOT DEAL WITH THE BOUNDARIES ENFORCED BY A STRONG INDEPENDENT EDUCATED WOMAN (MYSELF)***. ....their vindictive rage is astounding & utterly REDICULOUS!!! Nothing in stoicism or psychology can prepare you for the outright OUT-OF-CONTROL psychopathic/sociopathic narcissist rampaging at you because you consistently evade their deliberate attempts to control.... the only thing keeping them at bay is the terror of being held legally accountable.... they're terrified of my lawyers....so they remain just inside the shadows, circling like sharks, waiting & watching for anything they think might present the opportunity they're looking for... I know all the clinical definitions of what I'm squared off at... the legal boundaries they dance on the razor's edge of... But in the end, _Actually BEING a functional representation of a successful stoic woman living independently makes men insecure & other women jealous....& those with psychiatric issues explode into a rage, the likes of which you've never seen!!!_ THERE IS, IN THIS DAY & AGE, A DISTINCT NEANDERTHAL REACTION TO BEING THE WOMAN CAPABLE OF SUCCESS & DOING IT INDEPENDENTLY & WITHIN A STOIC FRAME... this reality is NOT discussed ANYWHERE, but it SHOULD BE... Any woman who walks THIS way BETTER HAVE RHINO HIDE & GRANITE CONVICTIONS.... because you're gonna need them to weather the onslaught of storms coming....⚡💜

@PixelShade, you bring up a crucial point. It's essential to recognize that Stoicism is often misrepresented, especially when it's incorrectly associated with concepts like "alpha male" mentality. True Stoicism is about cultivating emotional resilience, empathy, virtue, and understanding what's within our control - far from the pursuit of dominance or superiority. In your experience, how do you think we can better educate people about the authentic teachings of Stoicism, and dispel these misconceptions? It's vital to have voices like yours in the conversation to guide a more accurate understanding of this philosophy. Thanks for your insightful comment! 🌱📘

I think many women have a good percentage of this philosophy for themselves. The real question is, how does one remem to act on these thought patterns every moment? We become distracted and trapped into our emotions, how can we be more aware & remind ourselves to snap out of it? I suppose you could write it on your arm or set a few alarms in a day.

Hey @tristanhaile, thanks for watching the video and sharing your thoughts! I completely agree that many women already embody the principles of stoicism in their daily lives. It's definitely a challenge to constantly remind ourselves to act on these thoughts, especially when we get caught up in our emotions. 🤔 One way to stay aware and snap out of it is to incorporate small reminders throughout the day. Maybe you could write a quote from a stoic philosopher on a sticky note and place it somewhere you'll see it often. Or set a reminder on your phone to take a deep breath and refocus. 💭

I wouldn’t say that stoicism is necessarily male or female, but men throughout history held more worth than women. It’s neither good nor bad, It just is. So it’d make sense the majority of stoic teachings are from life recounts of men, it’s understandable that the majority of mens word would stand the test of time. However, let’s look at what stoicism has taught us from a base level. Be in tune with your emotions, be a good human being, surround yourself with positive people, and to be kind to yourself while also being stern, and many more. All of the teachings don’t hold any bearing on man or women in particular, some teachings may reason are better with one or the other. But what it does teach us is how to be stronger.

@cheezyllamba You've made an insightful observation about the historical context of Stoicism and its teachings. Indeed, the predominance of male voices in early Stoic literature reflects the social structures of the time, but the core principles of Stoicism are universally applicable, transcending gender and time. Your summary of Stoic teachings - being in tune with emotions, practicing kindness, surrounding oneself with positivity, and fostering inner strength - highlights the universal appeal of this philosophy. It's about personal growth and resilience, which are relevant to everyone. Considering this, how do you think modern interpretations of Stoicism can continue to evolve to reflect the diverse experiences of both men and women in today's society? Your perspective adds valuable depth to this discussion! 🌟

Emotional equilibrium is everything as a woman who’s been diagnosed “bipolar” and “schizoaffective.” Stoicism has offered so many approaches to life situations where I can fully grasp onto my emotions and remind myself that I am in control no matter what an doctor or anyone says. I have control over my emotions. That in itself is liberating. I hope people who have struggled with mental illness can feel the same way.

The principles of stoicism have shown me a new way of handling things when people mistreat me and put invalidating labels on me because I am a woman and minimize my achievements and hard work. Because I have learned the art of internal validation and acceptance of life as it is and not what I think it should be, I realize now that I don't have to fall apart and despair or change the woman i am to seek revenge. Stoicism is powerful and it has given me integrity, hope and the confidence to stand alone in my core values and use everything that i learn everyday from the teachings of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius to build my life and and improve it's quality.

I think it's been a great way to bring peace between the difference in the 2 sexes. Certainty has helped my relationship with my man a great deal because I can rationalize my emotions, which enables me to properly, peacefully communicate with him instead of letting myself feel like a victim and becoming bitchy, dragging everyone down with me.

It's inspiring to hear how integrating Stoicism with practices like meditation, yoga, and journaling has brought such positive changes in your life, including your impressive weight loss. Regarding self-discipline, it's not uncommon to find it more challenging as we grow older. Life gets more complex, and our responsibilities increase. A Stoic approach would suggest focusing on what's within your control and breaking down your goals into smaller, manageable tasks. Remember, consistency is key, even in small steps. Also, consider reflecting on your values and priorities now compared to when you were younger. Aligning your daily actions with these can reignite your motivation for self-discipline. Your journey is a testament to the power of a Stoic mindset combined with personal care strategies. Keep up the amazing work, and stay strong on this path of self-improvement.

just finished watching this thought-provoking video and I'm genuinely blown away! 🌟 The way the creator breaks down the connection between Stoicism and women is nothing short of brilliant. 🧘♀ It's refreshing to see a perspective that challenges stereotypes and highlights the universal applicability of Stoic principles. Each reason presented is like a mini-revelation, and it's so empowering to recognize how Stoicism transcends gender boundaries. 💪 The depth of insight and the well-researched content truly deserves a standing ovation. 🙌 Hats off to the creator for shedding light on such an important aspect of Stoicism that often gets overlooked. This video is not just informative, it's a game-changer in how we perceive and embrace ancient philosophies in our modern lives. Can't wait to share this with all the amazing women in my life! 💃🔥 #StoicismForAll #Empowerment #MindBlown

Really good stuff. Sobering reminders. The lessons that resonated most with me is Amor Fati, Balancing Emotional Labor and Authentic Leadership. I had a very rigid view of what my life ought to be so when I met with setbacks, I took it hard. I saw this interview of a favorite artist of mine and she said she always felt like she was where she needed to be despite all the setbacks. Life is beautiful if we give it a chance. For teamwork, I get so discouraged when things are not done up the way I expected it to, and I feel this pressure but I think it’s cause I have this flawed and narrow view of how it ought to look like but I want to practice a more compassionate and inspiring kind of leadership without taking on so much emotional baggage.

One of my preferred books is Meditations by Marc Aurèle, I have also read it in English and it's akin to a mini-bible. I always felt if Marcus Aurelius had been a believer he would have been a Saint.

I like the point about knowing when to lend a loving hand and when to uphold your boundaries. This resonating with my feeling that I always have to help if I am able, but also that not all people are open to assistance and when to recognize the difference. Also the point on amor fati resonated. Feeling shame or guilt about what has transpired in certain situations. It’s important to have self responsibility for your part but also learn and move on, see it as a gift, don’t keep beating a dead horse and thereby self shaming. ❤ enjoyed the perspectives shared 😊thank you

Wow I think I've found my theme phrase for my 2024 vision board "Amor Fati". Recently I've realised how much of my suffering has come by distraction/coping/avoidance of facing my realities including fantasising and escapism. My intention for the year is to make my reality better than my fantasy by simply embracing each moment and circumstance as it is, instead of comparing myself to what I had envisioned would be my life by now. Already with this intention im feeling the beauty of my life and each moment, because i am now less resistent to what is.

When I saw the video, I thought to myself, "Of course stoicism is for women too!. But it turns out that I learned from this video. I'm working in an environment, where I find it challenging sometimes to avoid intrusive questions. I complain and moan. But do I find many positive aspects to being in this environment? Yes, I do. I'm going to stop the negatives draining my energy.

Important for boundaries, living an authentic life and and the part about delaying anger is so real.

Approaching my 65th and I wish I knew about this earlier. As I watch & listen though, I relate to everything being said and as I think about all I've been through especially the past 11 yrs I can honestly say Wow...I'm a badass and didn't even know it. Meaning, as I reflect on the past I truly have practiced stoic philosophy without not really knowing it. I am proud of how I handled the pain, betrayal, and confusion of others actions. I build on that strength, understanding, and boundries and now build on that foundation. I am so glad I found this channel and will continue to follow. Thank You!😊

It's not about being baddas it's about knowing the benefits of knowledge but also knowing self reflection self control and to be humble if it takes women till there in the end of there life to realise theses basic human thought process it's actually concerning just try to practise what you preach don't lie to your self to make yourself feel better except that most women nowadays are lost in vanity self indulgent behaviour and always will there is never female monks or hermits or great philosophers because there just not good at self reflection and empathy just pure selfish instincts

I really appreciate this video, and repeat viewings are worthwhile. As each day brings different challenges and blessings, or blessings as challenges, the lessons here continue to resonate. One day, stoicism in leadership hits home; another day it's self-awareness, introspection, and reflection. There is a lot here to process and it's all valuable.

@curley7077, welcome to the journey of Stoicism! It's a philosophy that can be incredibly helpful for self-love and self-improvement, especially for those who tend to overthink. The first step is often understanding and accepting what is within your control and what is not. Stoicism teaches us to focus on our own actions and attitudes rather than external events. A practical way to begin is by keeping a daily journal. Reflect on your thoughts and actions each day, and ask yourself how they align with stoic principles like wisdom, courage, justice, and moderation. For your concern about overthinking and difficulty sleeping, consider the stoic practice of 'premeditatio malorum', which involves contemplating the worst-case scenario and accepting it. This can reduce anxiety about the future. Have you tried any mindfulness or meditation techniques? These can be quite effective in managing overthinking and improving sleep. What's one small step you think you can take today to start this journey? Remember, stoicism is about progress, not perfection.
