LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE

Accepting that you are only human and that some things are

within our control, while others are not, is the beginning of creating a good mental state for yourself. Training your mind to accept what happens, and acknowledging that sometimes life is hard, is how the Stoics lived for years. Dating back to about 300BC in Greece, Stoicism continues to influence people today.

To begin your path of selfimprovement, try putting these four virtues of Stoicism into action today:

• WISDOM: rather than letting your emotions get the best of you, try approaching complex situations in a calm, logical and informed manner.

• COURAGE: learn to face your daily challenges with clarity and integrity – don’t let fear stop you.

• JUSTICE: learn to treat others with fairness, even if they’ve done something wrong.

• TEMPERANCE: discover self-restraint and moderation – carry this through all aspects of life.
