In this episode of Navigate the Day, I reflect on Seneca’s reminder that so much of our suffering comes not from the present moment, but from rehearsing misery that hasn’t even happened. Worrying about what might go wrong—or clinging too tightly to what we fear losing—only robs us of the peace available right now.
This past week, I’ve struggled with my own battles—feeling weak, scattered, and caught in cycles of regret and distraction. I’ve wrestled with questions of strength, identity, and whether I’m truly living by the principles I believe in. Yet in that struggle, I’ve also seen how important it is to strip away the inessential, face the fears that keep me stuck, and remind myself that life is only ever lived in the present.
This isn’t about pretending everything is easy or perfect—it’s about finding small steps toward peace, grounding myself in today rather than being crushed by an imagined tomorrow. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by anxiety or regret, I think you’ll resonate with what I share here.
Thank you for listening and joining me on my journey of self-discovery!
