Listen "Panic Is Self-Inflicted Harm"
Episode Synopsis
Say Hello In this episode of Navigate the Day, I open up about how fear and panic can become habits—habits that quietly shape our choices and erode our peace of mind. Inspired by Seneca’s reminder that even prosperity can breed anxiety if our minds are unsettled, I reflect on the ways I’ve let panic and avoidance rule my life, and how that’s left me feeling stuck, even when circumstances improve.I talk honestly about the tension between what I know and how I live—the gap between Stoic wisdom and my own habits of distraction, self-doubt, and fear. But rather than offering quick fixes, this episode is about learning to sit with discomfort, confronting the ways panic becomes self-inflicted harm, and recognizing that true security begins in the mind, not in outer conditions.If you’ve ever felt like your worries, fears, or avoidance have left you weaker instead of stronger, this episode offers an invitation to explore how steadiness and self-mastery can help you meet life’s ups and downs with more clarity, courage, and purpose.Thank you for listening and joining me on my journey of self-discovery!Mediations and Prompts influenced from The Daily Stoic Books Please if you enjoy this content checkout Ryan's work
