Vegas Stoics November Meetup

Monthly meetup for the Vegas Stoics group.

Topic: "The Dichotomy of Control in Everyday Life."

At our last meetup, it was helpful to have a practical exercise we could work through interactively to illustrate Stoic principles. We will do that again, this time with Epictetus' dichotomy of control.

Dichotomy of Control Exercise
Think about a recent time when you felt an intensely negative emotional reaction in a situation. It could be an inconvenience like getting stuck in traffic, or a more impactful event, such as losing a job.

For each instance, think about:
- What happened (the external event)
- What you wanted or tried to control
- What was truly within your control
- How you might handle the situation differently next time
