Stoicism

[goose]

Anyone here practice stoicism? You cannot control the outcome of a cricket match but you can control your reaction. I recommend. Practice mastery of your

mind. Take an ice cold shower right now and embrace this moment. Also all hail Jadeja.

It's a good day to go to the gym honestly and just busy yourself there.

Interesting call- however I do not believe that a sports fan can really be a stoic.  Emotionally the two may as well be on different planets.  Plus how can one, as a stoic, enjoy the emotional pinnacle of a glorious win, which is what being a fan is all about?

here's a link to some chat on the matter.

 

willing a team on yet being detached from the outcome  - sounds difficult but it's a worthy aim.

so much discontent in our lives stems from trying to control the uncontrollable.
