Join Jim and Ellie on "The Stoic Compass" as they tackle the universally relatable experience of losing momentum. Drawing wisdom from Stoic philosophy and insights from Alison Moore's article "When Momentum Fades: What to Do When Your Drive Goes Missing," this episode offers practical strategies for overcoming creative slumps and inner criticism. Learn how to embrace consistency over fleeting motivation, silence your inner "Ali," return gently to your work, release guilt, reconnect with your core purpose, and normalize the inevitable lulls and chaos of any journey. Discover how Stoic principles like the dichotomy of control, the power of consistency, and the practice of Premeditatio Malorum can help you build resilience and keep your dreams alive, even when motivation takes a nap.
