Do Stoics really care?

This time an interview with the passionate Brittany Polat. You can definitely say she is into the Soics, that's for sure.
Writer of two books: Tranquility parenting and Journal like a Stoic.

Co founder of Stoicare: a volunteer-run charity that promotes Stoicism as a philosophy of care and well being. They offer resources, events and a gathering space for all Stoics who care about other people and our planet.

Contrary to some common misconceptions, Stoicism had always been a philosophy of care: care for truth, care for people, care for self, and care for the world we live in. This ideal of active engagement in the world informs our approach of life. As Stoics, we proactively work toward flourishing for ourselves and others. 

They help you meet each of these challenges:

• as a carer, you face many challenges everyday. How do you continue to put your heart into your work without getting burned out?
• How do you help dependent or disadvantaged individuals cope and even thrive in difficult circumstances?
• How do you care for others while also taking care of yourself?

We also talked about the 4 C's: a simple equation to help maintain inner peace in the midst of difficult situations:

Character + Cosmos + Control = Choice

We break down this equation and see how you can apply it to your own life.

The catch: once you realize that you don't have to get upset when something upsetting happens, you gain a new sense of control over your emotions. 

Sooo... be patient to yourself, and don't expect to become a brand new person overnight. But one time, you will create more space for positive emotions like enjoyment, goodwill, and cherishing others.
