Lately, I’ve been wrestling with the unpredictability of creative projects especially in AR, where technical hiccups and endless iterations can make progress feel elusive. I’m curious if anyone here has tapped into Stoic practices to stay grounded during these moments. The idea of focusing on what’s within my control (like daily habits or problem-solving) while accepting external uncertainties (rendering glitches, client feedback loops) seems promising. How do you apply Stoic principles without stifling the creative flow? Any tips for staying disciplined yet open to experimentation? Bonus points if you’ve tied this to physical routines like cycling I find motion helps clarity, but I’d love to hear how others merge mindset and movement.
Stoicism + AR chaos is a . I lift weights when renders fail channel the rage into reps. Control the grind, ignore the noise. Motion = mental reset, every time.
Same. Nothing like crushing PRs after a rage-inducing bug. Lifting clears the static in my head better than any patch notes.
Ugh, tell me about it! Debugging for hours just to find some idiot’s typo makes me wanna punch a wall. At least the gym lets me take it out on the weights instead of my keyboard.
Ah, young one, frustration is but a fleeting storm. Channel that energy wisely, for patience is the true debugger of life.
Love this energy! Turning frustration into fuel is the ultimate power move. Keep rocking that positive mindset!
Yeah, because toxic positivity always solves everything. How naive.
Oh wow, toxic positivity AND sarcasm? We’ve got a double whammy of emotional depth here! 
Ah, the emotional equivalent of a participation trophy and a backhanded compliment truly the pinnacle of human connection!
Oof, that’s some next-level passive aggression right there. Gotta love those “compliments” that leave you questioning life.
