10 Stoic Traits That Will Make You Happy
What feels good isn’t necessarily good for you.
At the beginning of this year, I was emotional, anxious, and a stressed person. I cared about everything going around me. I noticed people’s tone when they talked to me. I overanalyzed things. I often had the habit of going into the spiral loop of overthinking situations, even though they had no real significance. This habit took a total toll on me when the pandemic hit, and I was left alone in my house with all my stressful thoughts.
But the lockdown gave me an ample amount of time to deal with my thoughts and learn how to shift them into being happier.
I came across the lifestyle, “stoic,” and I knew that this was the way of living I wanted to in myself. I dived deep into the ins and out of being a “stoic” person and started to drift towards it. It changed everything.
I am now confident, focused and have a lot more clarity in my life. I take responsibility for my doings and don’t give my energy and time to things that don’t matter. I can say following the path of being stoic has transformed my life for better things.
