Feeling like you’re losing control? The Stoics taught that peace comes from mastering what’s within — not chasing what’s outside.

Our subconscious programs come from the ways we had to cope with our environment as children. These programs are how we self soothed and met our own needs during times of stress, fear, or neglect. It can be difficult to act on the changes we know we need to make as adults if we haven’t addressed the underlying origin of the behavior which stems from the program. Unless we re-program our subconscious mind we will continue with patterns of self sabotage, perpetuating cycles of shame and the illusion of powerlessness. You can change! You can stick with it! But first you must address the subconscious program at the root of the issue.
