I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

I feel like I get to know myself when I’m struggling with things in my personal life. I’ve learned from stoicism that the response is on me not on any external factors. How I’m feeling is a result of my own reasoning. I’m having a lot of negative feelings about work and that’s allowing me to explore myself more by asking why am I feeling this? Why do I care so much? Is this my ego? I’m grateful for the exercise but it can suck and be a bit of a gut check.
