    How to Build A Strong Mind | STOIC PHILOSOPHY

    08:04How to Build A Strong Mind | STOIC PHILOSOPHY
    • Spending some time alone and without the help of others can help build up a solitude muscle that allows you to thrive for longer periods of time without the support and presence of others, and by learning to live with less support from others, you will become less dependent and less controlled by them. So by undergoing the four tests—the pleasure test, the minimalist test, the nonconformity test, and the solitude test—you can face your fears and build strength for hard times—times where you might not have access to abundant pleasures, material comforts and luxuries, the approval of others, or social support. Your body and mind are capable of incredible adaptation, but it does take time to adjust, and with these four practices, you can shape yourself into a stronger, more resilient form.
