Part 3/9:
Seneca, a venerable stoic philosopher, emphasized the importance of your social circle. Much like the story of Zed, a merchant who rebuilt his confidence by associating with those who thrived, our environment shapes us. Are the individuals in your life lifting you up or dragging you down? Create a garden of positivity around you for your confidence to grow.
Habit 3: Take Care of Your Body
Marcus Aurelius understood the correlation between physical and mental well-being. In ancient Sparta, physical training was a means of bolstering confidence and resilience. The tale of a Zen monk nurturing a garden illustrates how caring for our bodies facilitates mental clarity. Start small, whether through daily walks or mindful eating; your body deserves your attention.
