EQUANIMITY

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Equanimity is undisturbable psychological composure and mindfulness balanced with wisdom and compassion.

  • Three powerful benefits of cultivating equanimity are: emotional stability, enhanced decision-making, and improved relationships.

  • “If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”—Marcus Aurelius

  • “Man is affected not by events, but by the view he takes of them.”—Epictetus
