What we’re about
If you see a glass with some water in it, not all the way to the top, how would you describe it? If you answered half full or half empty, then this group might be for you!
A Stoic might respond "I'm just grateful there's some water, and a glass? Bonus!"
I've been exploring Buddhism, meditation and now Stoicism, to learn new ways to deal with all the things life throws at me. Actually, that was me "before." Now I expect life to throw things at me, I just need to better prepare and understand and deal with it. Without med's, psychologists or whatever. I want to learn new approaches and ways of thinking by practicing a philosophy (or multiple) that fits me, so that I can be a better person all around.
We can also look at practical strategies for getting through the day in a better way. For example, tired of sitting at your desk at home all day? Take a meeting while having a bath could be a solution. Let's brainstorm that and see if we can make it work. 1-on-1's could be done while walking your dog. Strategy sessions can be held while cooking dinner. Great optimizations - maybe?
Join me in learning, discussing and practicing "approach" philosophies. What has worked for you? What has not? Why?
