 we think we do number five pause and
take a deep breath as we learn from the
words of Epictetus remember it's not
enough to be hit or insulted to be
harmed
you must believe that you're being
harmed if someone succeeds in provoking
you realize that your mind is complicit
in the provocation which is why it's
essential that we not respond
impulsively to impressions take a moment
before reacting and you'll find it is
easier to maintain control this is
simple advice and yet it's really
difficult and yet it's very difficult to
pull off it's also it's also very very
important the idea behind this exercise
is to rationally examine our impressions
regardless of whether they're negative
such as insults or positive such as
feelings of lust
we need to resist the impulse to react
immediately in instinctively to
potentially problematic situations
instead we must pause and take a deep
breath perhaps go for a walk around the
block and only then consider the issue
with logic and calmness once you start
seriously practicing this exercise
you'll see a dramatic improvement in the
way you handle
things and you'll inevitably get
positive feedback from all the others
who also see those improvements in you
number six other eyes
according to Epictetus when somebody's
wife or child dies to a man we all
routinely say well that's part of life
but if one of our own families involved
then right away it's poor poor me we
would do better to remember how we react
when a similar loss afflicts others
Epictetus reminds us here of just how
differently we regard an event that has
affected other people when the same
event affects us it's easy for us to be
calm when little inconveniences or even
disasters happen to others rather than
to ourselves for example when your
friend loses or breaks his phone you'll
tell him that it's just a phone and it
can go out and buy a new one but when
you break your phone you'll lose your
calm or even for more grievous matters
like when your friend's wife dies you'd
Consultant by telling in the deaths a
part of life and that she's in a better
place now but when you lose someone of
your own you'll lose all your equanimity
of course losing your phone is not the
same thing as losing your wife but this
exercise is all about understanding that
accidents injuries disease and death are
all unavoidable and while it's
understandable to be distraught over
them we can take comfort in knowing that
they're in the normal order of things
the universe isn't after anyone or at
least isn't after any one of us in
particular number seven speak little and
well Epictetus says well it's silence be
your goal for the most part say only
what is necessary and be brief about it
on the rare occasions when you're called
upon to speak then speak but never about
banality is like gladiators horses
sports food and drink commonplace stuff
above all don't gossip about people
praising blaming or comparing them
Epictetus
gives us the list of things we should
not talk about we may not talk much
these days about gladiators but we do
talk about star athletes movie and music
stars and other celebrities instead of
talking about difficult topics because
we've been conditioned to think that
serious talk is boring and at any rate
requires more background knowledge and
attention than most of us associate with
good conversation
Epictetus also advises to stay away from
the conversation that's concerned with
gossiping and passing judgments of
people to indulge in gossip and judge
people who aren't present to defend
themselves simply doesn't seem to be the
virtuous thing to do initially this
exercise will feel unnatural but over
time the habit will eventually kick in
so slowly change your conversational
topics and respond less to gossiping and
passing judgments and occasionally
introduce a challenging topic of your
own that's based on something you've
recently read or watched and that you
feel might lead to a mutually beneficial
conversation with your friends
number eight choose your company well
Epictetus says avoid fraternizing with
non philosophers if you must though be
careful not to sink to their level
because you know if a companion is dirty
his friends cannot help but get a little
dirty too no matter how clean they
started out Epictetus advises us to pay
very close attention to whom we spend
our time with this is great advice since
life is short temptation and waste are
always lurking and so we need to pay
attention to what we're doing and who
our companions are so start spending
time with people who are interested in
following virtue and cultivating their
character Aristotle once said that we
want to be with friends who are better
than ourselves so that we can learn from
them ask yourself about the people you
meet and spend time with are they making
me better do they encourage me to push
forward and do they hold me accountable
or do they drag me down to their level
and then consciously consider whom you
allow into your life
number 9 respond to insults with humor
in the words of epictetus if you learn
that someone is speaking ill of you
don't try to defend yourself against the
rumors respond instead with yes and he
doesn't know the half of it because he
could have said more we get easily
offended when someone speaks ill about
us or insults us we take the insults too
personally which spoils our mood and
ruins our self-esteem instead we need to
realize that the insults whatever speak
about you is not in your control but how
you react to it most certainly is
Epictetus tells us to respond to insults
with self-deprecating humor for example
