Episode Description from the Publisher

We live with more demands, decisions, expectations and future problems competing for our attention than we usually realize.And somewhere in that noise, we slowly lose the ability to say no.In this episode, I talk about the Stoic practice I use to stay in charge of my own mind: morning intention, deliberate boundaries, metacognitive intervention during the day, and reflection in the evening.Not to eliminate stress. Not to become emotionless.But to recognize the difference between an emotional reaction and a conscious decision.Because if you cannot say no, your yes is not entirely yours either.
