Tame: Mind Over Matter

Welcome to Episode 22 of Tame, the podcast where we discuss quotes from Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations' and how we can apply the lessons and logic from the book to our own lives to be stronger, kinder and better people. Today we're discussing the following three quotes:   "You can hold your breath until you turn blue, but they’ll still go on doing it." Book 8, Chapter 4 "Look at who they really are, the people whose approval you long for, and what their minds are really like. Then you won’t blame the ones who make mistakes they can’t help, and you won’t feel a need for their approval. You will have seen the sources of both—their judgments and their actions." Book 7, Chapter 62 "Self-contraction: the mind’s requirements are satisfied by doing what we should, and by the calm it brings us." Book 7, Chapter 28 We hope you enjoy our podcast and encourage you to join the conversation by leaving comments, getting in touch on social media and sharing this with people you think would benefit from hearing it!
