Stoic philosophy is over 2,300 years old and has its origins in ancient Greece, around 300 BC. Today it is still valued for its practical approach to life that focuses on controlling our own thoughts, judgments and actions. It can provide inner peace.
For my awakening, I was prepared by the universe because I first had to let go of some things. They sent videos from the Internet to my browser explaining the view of Stoic philosophy. I learned that it is okay to choose yourself and changed from a people pleaser into someone who can set boundaries and I learned to protect myself from negative people.
For example, I had a friend who I called regularly and I was always exhausted after the call. It was a one-way street where I was the giver and she was the taker. The negativity was too much for me and I distanced myself but couldn't completely break off contact because as an empath I felt sorry for her and guilty, I was even a little afraid of her. Then the universe reminded me of what she did in 1993. In that year, the situation with the narcissist had escalated to such an extent that I ended up in a sheltered home with my two small children. She was the flying monkey for this narcissist, she talked to him and probably also gave him a photo of the children. The realization that she had endangered me and my children hit me like a ton of bricks and was the last thing I needed to completely and permanently cut off contact. That's how the universe was preparing the way for my awakening. Later I realized that she too is a narcissist.
As an empath, it can be difficult to understand negative behavior because you are wired differently. Below is the stoic video that helped me.
Take good care of yourself and take some time to relax. A great way to do this is to listen to music that encourages and gives you strength. A small moment for yourself can make a big difference.
