The stoic test is a device created by William Irvine to help anyone to handle the everyday (or the not-so-everyday...) disasters and pitfalls that come about in our life. Learn how the test works, how it can help handle frustration and anxiety and how to reframe any negative event so that it has less of a negative effect on you.

Today we're covering negative visualisation, which has a much more positive effect that it sounds! Negative visualisation is all about appreciating what you've got, making sure you don't take good things for granted and having at least a little preparation in mind for when things do go wrong. Then, we go into the concept of 'the last time' where we try to be more mindful and appreciative of any activity, since it could well be the last time you ever do it.

This week we're going deeper into the dichotomy of control.

Dillon shares some examples and how to apply that to yourself.

Then, he goes into how to apply it to a leadership position and particularly within a clinical environment. We also get into mindfullness, meditation and journalling, and their value in practicing the dichotomy of control.

On this episode, we introduce Stoicism and how it can help people in healthcare.

Dillon shares his experience with using Stoicism while working in some of the most stressful situations in healthcare, and how it helped him combat stress and anxiety.

You'll find out what it can do to help, how to think about the conscious vs the unconscious mind and learn a few techniques to help you enjoy the present, much more.
