Stoic Morning Practice: Start Before You Feel Ready

from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks

Some mornings, nothing has gone wrong and the day already feels like too much. This guided Stoic morning practice starts from Marcus Aurelius's own argument with the bed in Meditations 5.1. Rather than manufacturing enthusiasm, you will choose one real reason to move and one obstacle to begin. The practice also draws on Meditations 5.20, where Marcus treats an obstruction as material for action. You do not need to feel ready. You need one honest start.Free 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
