The Day Stoicism Was Forced on Me in a Hospital Bed

I nearly bled out after a routine cardiac procedure.

No warning. No choice. No control.

Stoic philosophy doesn’t teach calm when life is easy.

It teaches composure when everything goes wrong at once.

This story isn’t about medicine.

It’s about what actually belongs to you when control disappears.

Most men are walking around with a courtroom running in their head.

Judge. Jury. Executioner.

Every interaction becomes a trial.

Every delay becomes disrespect.

Every stranger becomes a problem to solve or a threat to manage.

We call this “being perceptive.”

In reality, it’s an untrained mind running on reflex.

Judgment feels efficient.

Labeling feels intelligent.

But both quietly drain energy, clarity, and emotional control.

Here’s the discipline most men never practice:

Assume the best in others and reserve judgment.

Not because people are perfect.

But because your nervous system is not a dumping ground.

Turning off the automatic mind is not weakness.

It’s command.

We've all been there. Standing at the edge of change, declaring war on our old habits like they're enemies to be conquered. "I'm going to stop procrastinating." "I'm going to quit scrolling." "I'm done with negative self-talk."

And then, inevitably, we find ourselves right back where we started—frustrated, defeated, and convinced we lack willpower.

But here's what twenty years of emergency medicine has taught me: nature abhors a vacuum. In the ER, we don't just remove what's broken; we replace it with what works. Pull out a breathing tube without a plan? The airway collapses. Remove a chest tube too soon? The lung can't expand properly.

Your brain operates the same way.

Your brain is carrying open loops that steal your focus, drain your energy, and sabotage your discipline. Most people never notice it. They wonder why they feel overwhelmed even when they are working hard.

In this video I break down why closing loops is one of the most important habits for productivity, consistency, and long term success. The psychology is simple. Open loops create cognitive load. Cognitive load crushes execution. When you close loops, your brain stops running background processes and gives you back clarity and control.

You will learn:

• What an open loop is and why it silently destroys performance

• How unfinished tasks hijack working memory and increase stress

• The neuroscience behind mental load and decision fatigue

• A practical system for identifying and closing loops daily

• The reason high performers hit burnout and how this method prevents it

Closing loops is not a motivational concept. It is a strategic discipline. When you reduce internal friction, your productivity compounds and your energy returns.
