How to Stay in Control When You’ve Been Insulted, Disrespected or Treated Unfairly

Would your friends describe you as calm, cool, and collected -- or do you easily come unglued? 

In other words, how well do YOU exercise restraint?  

It’s hard enough to exercise restraint under the normal pressures of everyday life -- work duties, household management, social pressures, financial responsibilities, etc.  

But how about when someone is actively trying to sabotage your success? That’s a whole new ball game where the stakes are higher, and restraint becomes even more arduous. 

This week, in our Level Up Your Legacy Livestream, we walked through chapter 6 of Ryan Holiday’s Ego is the Enemy and discussed the difficulty and necessity of exercising restraint.

We answered two fundamental questions: 

  1. How can someone exercise self-control and restraint when provoked?

  2. Why is it important to exercise restraint?

If you’re curious as to how you can begin exercising more restraint, even under the most severe of circumstances, make sure you give our discussion a listen.  Just click on the video below.
