Stoic Object Deconstruction to Reduce Cravings and Attachments
from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks · host Jon Brooks
We rarely see the things we crave plainly. We wrap them in a story, and the story is what hooks us. This guided reflection uses the Stoic practice of object deconstruction to strip that story back and see the thing as it actually is.It is built on Chapter 3 of the Enchiridion, where Epictetus suggests naming what something really is, starting small. Fond of a favourite cup? Remind yourself it is a cup, and when it breaks you will not be thrown. Practise this and the same calm becomes available for the bigger attachments too.Free 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
