The past should always remain in the past. However, for so many of us, there are certain events and/or decisions that we just can’t seem to let go of. Whether it’s about a friendship, relationship or job, everybody has that one thing that they wish they did differently. Instead of moving forward with life, we get stuck reliving that critical moment, going over every single decision that we made, spiralling further into despair. In this post, we’re going to be talking about how to stop regretting these past decisions and start moving forward.

The Stoics were a fascinating group of philosophers dating back to the early 3rd century BC. It seems like they had advice for almost every situation you could think of. At this point in my life, I’m going to be honest, the temptation to give up and run away from my responsibilities is at its peak. So, I’ve turned to Stoicism for help, and so far it seems to be working. In the spirit of this blog, I thought I’d share some of my favourite stoic quotes for when you feel like giving up.

I’ve been going through an incredibly stressful time in life. Finishing my Ph.D. Trying to find a new job and a place to live at the same time. It’s been incredibly overwhelming and some days it gets the best of me. When this happens, all I want to do is curl into a ball, give up, and simply hide away from all the responsibilities. Fortunately, I’ve been able to find a few things to snap me back into action. In today’s post, we’ll be looking at ways to motivate yourself to not give up when things get too stressful.
