This one I am sharing because RH addresses many of the things I have thought of since this election cycle has come around the way it has.  Unfortunately,  this outcome was not even on my premeditatio malorum bingo card, but we are living through its chaotic first scenes.  Everything from worst case scenarios to many other unimaginable come beating forward relentlessly.  Then there is the noise that wants my attention.  But I still have the many other roles that also need me first &#8211; Life, Family, Mindset, Balance, Play and Work!<br><br>The mental gymnastics of others is fatiguing, and this episode reminded me of the notion &#8211; Stop! Pause!  Evaluate! Select which handle I will pick up and interact with, then take action or discard and recalibrate with intention and purpose along the way!  The framework that I tend to use includes many things from lessons learned as I wander through the buffet of life!  But, this particular episode encapsulates many of the approaches and strategies I use today through my own context, worldviews and during my pursuits living my journey of reasonable self scrutiny!  So, give it a listen, or not.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The <strong>TLDR<\/strong> &#8211; if you listen to this episode, it will help you glimpse my approach to difficulty and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nfd-container nfd-pt-lg nfd-theme-darker nfd-bg-surface nfd-wb-media-embeds__embed-5 is-style-nfd-theme-darker wp-block-group has-background nfd-bg-effect-lines-2\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(0deg,rgb(255,255,255) 21%,rgb(33,59,59) 21%,rgb(0,0,0) 100%)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-e1bd801a wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h1 class=\"nfd-text-contrast nfd-text-giga nfd-text-balance wp-block-heading alignwide has-color-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-485451a02706302c19257f924b7c14a2\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Daily STOIC<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"nfd-text-faded nfd-text-lg\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">How RH is preparing for the next four years!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"nfd-btn-wide wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/3npSGqkea1vtcVhj4mYsHE?si=d4b744b2bd794eca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Go to SPOTIFY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"nfd-overflow-hidden -nfd-mx-2 nfd-rounded-xl nfd-backdrop-blur-md nfd-theme-dark nfd-bg-surface is-style-nfd-theme-dark wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#9E9E9E1A;padding-top:8px;padding-right:8px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:8px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e5b0c750 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: How Ryan Holiday is Preparing For The Next Four Years\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border: none\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/3npSGqkea1vtcVhj4mYsHE?si=d4b744b2bd794eca&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am writing this one quickly.
