The Daily Stoic - Try To Stay in the Bubble

Episode Date: June 29, 2021

“To fight the pandemic, we engaged in what you might call the largest forced lifestyle experiment in human history. We traveled less. We ate out less. We tightened our social circles. We spent more time at home. We stayed in at night with our family, instead of going out.”Ryan explains why we should come out of the pandemic stronger than we were before.Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: http://DailyStoic.com/signupFollow us: Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and FacebookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

To fight the pandemic, we engaged in what you might call the largest forced lifestyle experiment in human history. We traveled less, we ate out less, we tightened our social circles, we spent more time at home, we stayed in at night with our family instead of going out. It was tough in many ways. It had economic implications and mental health implications too. And as strange and frustrating as I have normal as it was, there was another part of us that noticed positive improvements.

We weren't as busy, we had time, so much time. We felt things, we hadn't felt in years, got into a groove that hadn't been there for a long time. This is because the bubble we went into to limit transmission of the virus was quite close to the smooth flow of life and living in accordance with nature that the Stokes had long talked about. In fact, it was closer to our primal state of being, being rooted in one place, the family

unit, neighbors helping neighbors, and awareness of your surroundings, the common cause. And now, as cases drop precipitously, there will be temptation for life to go back to normal. For you to abandon the bubble you have created, pause before you do that. Which parts of this slower, stiller life are worth protecting? What did you stop doing this year that doesn't need to be resumed? What did you start doing out of necessity that's worth continuing? What would life look like with more purpose in it? What could you accomplish with clearer priorities? It's good that we're coming out of this, but let's make sure we emerge from it better than we were when we went into it.

Of course, this is what I wrote, stillness is the key about, which came out in the fall of 2019. I had no idea what was in store, but I think that book held up well. I've heard from so many people who read it during the pandemic. I had to really stick to the teachings myself as challenging as it was over the last year. You can check out Stillness is the key, which debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list, one of the books I'm proudest of.

Now, I've held so many occupations over the years that my fans lovingly nicknamed me Kiki Kiki Bag Palmer. And trust me, I keep a bag, love. But if you ask me, I'm just getting started. And there's so much I still want to do. So I decided I want to be a podcast host. I'm proud to introduce you to the baby Mrs. Kiki Palmer podcast.

I'm putting my friends, family, and some of the dopest experts in the hot seat to ask them the questions that have been burning in my mind. What will former child stars be if they weren't actors? What happened to sitcoms? It's only fans, only bad. I want to know. So I asked my mom about it. These are the questions that keep me up at night, but I'm taking these questions out of

my head and I'm bringing them to you. Because on Baby Mrs. Kiki Palmer, no topping is off limits. Follow Baby This Is Kiki Palmer, whatever you get your podcast. Hey, prime members, you can listen early and app-free on Amazon Music. Download the Amazon Music app today.
