5 STOIC THINGS YOU MUST DO EVERY MORNING - Ancient Stoicism

This video discusses how to start each day with a morning routine that reflects the ancient appreciation for existence found in Stoic philosophy.

The video offers three Stoic practices to help begin each day with peace and purpose. The first practice is to meditate on the impermanence of all things, including the fleeting nature of life, to appreciate the beauty and fragility of existence. The second practice is to write down one's thoughts in a diary, which helps with self-reflection, grounding, and healing.

The third practice is to write daily intentions, which focus on the present journey, personal values, and the type of person one wants to be, rather than solely on future goals and outcomes. The video emphasizes that these practices can help one focus on what truly matters in life and avoid wasting time on unimportant things.

By starting each day with a sense of purpose and gratitude, one can celebrate life and make the most of it. The video encourages viewers to turn these practices into a daily routine and to use them as tools for personal growth and self-awareness.
