Stoicism Meaning in 10 Stoic Keys Print, Stoic Principles and Stoic Reflections to Explain the Stoic Philosophy, Self Growth Mindset Poster - Etsy
Ten Stoic principles to live by include focusing on what you can control, practicing virtue (wisdom, courage, justice, temperance), living in accordance with nature, accepting what is beyond your control, and valuing time. Also important are gratitude, mindfulness, negative visualization, and resilience in the face of adversity. Stoicism teaches that you can't control external events, but you can control your internal response to them. 
Here's a more detailed look at some of these principles:
  1. This is a central tenet of Stoicism. You can't control the weather, other people's actions, or unexpected events. However, you can control your thoughts, judgments, and actions. 
  2. Stoic philosophy emphasizes four cardinal virtues: wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. 
    • Wisdom: The ability to discern truth and make sound judgments. 
    • Courage: The strength to face adversity and act in accordance with what is right. 
    • Justice: Fairness and ethical conduct in your interactions with others. 
    • Temperance: Self-control and moderation in all things. 
  3. This means understanding your place in the natural order and living in harmony with it. 
  4. Embrace everything that happens, even the negative, as part of the natural flow of life. 
  5. Time is a finite resource, so use it wisely and don't waste it on things that don't matter. 
  6. Cultivate an attitude of thankfulness for what you have, both material and non-material. 
  7. Be present in the moment, paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment, according to Vocal. 
  8. Imagine potential setbacks or losses to appreciate what you have and prepare for challenges, says Vocal. 
  9. Develop the ability to bounce back from adversity and learn from difficult experiences. 
  10. Ensure your actions align with your core beliefs and principles, says Daily Stoic.

What to do about your dry eyes

Jo has Sjogren's Syndrome . Dry eyes and dry mouth can be caused by a multitude of reasons such as an autoimmune disease such as Sjogren's Syndrome, aging , diabetes , smoking or medications. Biotene has been the hallmark drug for dry mouth but other products, such as Oasis have come on the market. Xerostomia or dry mouth can cause difficulty in speaking and eating. It also leads to bad breath and dental decay. It is crucial that you see your dentist much more regularly than you may have been going if you have dry mouth. In addition, your home care must be superb. It's hard sometimes to get into the rhythm of flossing, brushing, using a rubber tip, and using a Waterpik but in the end your mouth will thank you. Some people find oral sprays as you see in the Biotene Moisturizing Mouth Spray picture and Biotene gel, which you rub on your tongue and gums. A good recipe book is called I-Can't-Chew Cookbook by J. Randy Wilson. Other symptoms you may have is a...

Two candy canes back to back tied with yarn or material-covered wire, which I can get at Joanne's or Michael's. I'm taking my glue gun with me and voila - what a nice way to say "Hi, happy holidays.

 We are very settled in Monroe and are considering selling Lincoln and visiting a few times a year. We talk to the little ones almost every Sunday. They are growing up. 2nd grade, 1st grade a nd  preschool.  I'm doing fine on the exemestane.  Scans have  been clear. We have found a few docs but still have a couple more to find. We are heading back to CA in a month for four months.  Our flight to Canada was easy. We are trying to be less judgmental so I won't talk about a couple of annoying things.  I am trying very hard to do this blog in as non-OCD as possible. I wrote for epinions for years and don't want to be detailed like I was. "Just the facts, ma'am." We rented a car so did what we usually do. We borrowed a couple of itineraries from the web and followed those. One thing we would do differently is arrive in Calgary and leave in Edmonton though this is not a direct flight.  We would have toured Calgary for two days instead of leaving it to t...
