Stoicism mixed with CBT helped me get through some challenging anxiety attacks.

I think Seneca shared these 'tenants' in his letters to Lucilius (book: Letters from a Stoic) but I could have that one wrong. Either way, they've stuck with me:

1. Control your perceptions 2. Direct you actions accordingly 3. Willingly accept what is outside of your control

I found Seneca's letters to be much more approachable than Meditations.

Ironically? Stoicism was the inspiration for CBT.
