  Speaker 1: Our goal is to provide everyday life learning that can
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: enhance our mental well-being. Your support by watching our videos
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: contributes to it. So thank you. There's a beautiful quote
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: from American poet Miko Harvey that goes, I think I
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: get so scared because I'm greedy. I want to hold
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: on to everything. The world wants to take it away.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: The number of hours we have together is actually not
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: come back later for it. These poignant lines resonate with
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a deep-seated fear that often dwells within us. The loneliness
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that comes with the certainty of goodbye and the apprehension
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of never knowing when. As ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus realized
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: all those thousands of years before, our attachments are what
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: make it so hard to accept change. But life is
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in a constant state of change. To fear loss and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: resent change is to wrongly assume that you can go
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: against the natural order of things. Epictetus' wise words are
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: echoed in the teachings of Stoicism. which invites us to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: view separation and change through a gentler lens. With that said,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: let's explore the insights that allow us to embrace the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: beauty of both the presence and absence of human connection.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Rethinking farewells. The first and perhaps most important principle of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Stoic philosophy is the acceptance of impermanence. In this constantly
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: changing world, Refusing to let go is surely going to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: bring an ache to our hearts. But this perspective soothes
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the soul because it reminds us that the impermanent nature
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of our lives is part of what makes it so precious.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: We can find something to be grateful for, even in farewells.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: The Stoics advise us to acknowledge that people, like all
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: aspects of life, are subject to change and eventually parting
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: ways is a natural part of the human experience. The
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Treasures of Shared Moments With this in mind, let us
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: begin to consider each encounter as a gift of time borrowed.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Is there someone in particular you're having trouble letting go of?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe you just recently went through a breakup or a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: falling out with a friend. While their loss may hurt
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you now, an important part of the healing process is
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: recognizing all the ways they contributed to your life. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: make a list of all the wonderful memories you shared
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: with them and all the reasons why you're thankful for them.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: This gratitude can help us find meaning and fulfillment even
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: when someone leaves our life. Navigating the Winds of Change.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: As seasons change, so do the roles people play in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: our lives. Some arrive as the sunshine of joy, others
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: as the storm of challenge. But just as the wind
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: carries leaves in various directions, life guides each person down
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: their own path. That's why the Stoics emphasized focusing on
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: ourselves and what's within our control, not on others. Letting
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: go gracefully allows both of you to pursue your own
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: journeys in life. So whatever grudges you may feel against
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: this person for leaving, acknowledge them and let them go.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Hold the door open for them and thank them for
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: stopping by in your life. New hellos and beginnings. Sometimes,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: when we've been hurt by the bitter sting of goodbye,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: we become closed off and hesitant to let new people
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: into our lives. But remember, you don't lose people, you
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: return them. People aren't ours to own, and whatever time
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: we have with each other is always borrowed. So when
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the time comes for us to go our separate ways,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: take comfort in the fact that life is constantly moving
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: forward and so should you. The end of one chapter
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is the beginning of another. Embrace new connections because every
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: new hello is a promise of hope and a reminder
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that our hearts have endless capacity for connection. Returning to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Ourselves The irony of life is that the more you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: try to control something, the more it controls you. So
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: don't be afraid of losing people. Be afraid of losing
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: yourself in trying so hard to hold on to those
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: who are already gone. When dealing with the loss of relationships,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: stoicism encourages individuals to prioritize virtue and their own character development.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This means cherishing the time spent with loved ones and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: using those relationships as opportunities for personal growth. Realize that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the person you lost didn't make you feel the love
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you felt. but that it came from you. Any love
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they made you feel is yours to keep because you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: created that love and you made them the center of it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: So when they're going, when it's time to return them,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: bring that love back within yourself. So Psych2Goers, as we
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: draw this journey to a close, let us hold the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: truth in our hearts that the bonds we forge aren't
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: lost or broken, but rather we return our borrowed time
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: with others and receive in return memories, lessons and imprints
