Stoicism: The best mind-hack to change your life (It changed mine)
<p>Have you been in a tough spot in your life? Do you want things around you to change but you’re not sure which foot to put forward? Do you think it is high time to give a different lifestyle a try?</p>
<p>Stoicism can be just what you are looking for. Don’t worry this is not a type of living that will require you to build a camp in woods, or tell you to through away all your technology to live a happy life. In fact, according to me — these things are near to impossible seeing the current world scenario. One needs technology and a good lifestyle to live a good life now-a-days. That’s why any new idea about trying to become more minimal and responsible should include this fact.</p>
<p>To put a more realistic definition of Stoicism, to me it is about accepting reality, putting ones ‘need’ above ‘want’ and become more accepting. It is a philosophy of life that aims to minimise the negative aspects in your life and make an individual more opportunistic.</p>

<h2>How can one follow Stoicism?</h2>
<p>There is no form to fill and wait for an invite. You can wake up one day and decide that you want to be a stoic, however the change becomes when you inculcate the idea in your life too.</p>
<p>Being a stoic requires you to self-reflect on your action, try to keep things minimal, stay away from unnecessary drama that will drain your energy and just live a minimal life.</p>
<p>If a couple of months ago a person would have lied to me or I would have had a bad day at work, my entire day henceforth would be ruined. I would seek solace in isolating myself and even have a hard time getting my thoughts straight. That’s when I heard the first rule of Stoicism.</p>
