What if five minutes each morning could change your life? The Stoics believed that daily habits—like journaling, negative visualization, and voluntary discomfort—were the keys to inner peace. Start your day by imagining potential setbacks, not to worry, but to prepare. Express gratitude for what you have, knowing it could be lost. Throughout the day, focus only on what you can control.
At night, review your actions: Where did you show wisdom? Where can you improve tomorrow? Over time, these rituals build resilience, gratitude, and self-mastery. The Stoic path is not about perfection, but about steady progress. With each small step, you move closer to tranquility and joy.
