Controlling Your Emotions with Ryan Holiday

Today’s quote comes from the Ryan Holiday’s book, “The Obstacle is the Way”. I’ve been fascinated with Ryan’s work lately and these words jumped off the page and captured the essence of stoicism so perfectly I had to share. “If an emotion can't change the condition or the situation you're dealing with, it is likely an unhelpful emotion. Or, quite possibly, a destructive one. But it's what I feel. Right, no one said anything about not feeling it. No one said you can't ever cry. Forget "manliness." If you need to take a moment, by all means, go ahead. Real strength lies in the control or the domestication of one's emotions, not in pretending they don't exist.” All credit goes to the author.   The question of the day is, “When do your emotions most frequently get the best of you? Where are you? Who are you with? What are you doing?” Take some time to write down and journal your answer or have a dialogue with yourself and/or a loved one.   For a customized workout plan on our app, head over to www.myersmindset.com Instagram @myersmindset and @portland.fitcouple
