Writing to Resilience: Inside My Daily Stoic Journaling Practice

from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks

This is a behind-the-scenes look at the Stoic morning journal I actually do, not an idealised version. I walk through how I lay the page out to set the day, remember what matters, and meet whatever comes with a bit more steadiness.The thread running through it is intention over perfection. I would rather you do a scrappy version most days than a perfect version you quit in a week. I cover the apps and templates I use, how I prioritise the one task that actually matters, how I work Stoic quotes into the reflection, and the triple-column technique I borrowed from David Burns for catching and challenging irrational thoughts. As the line I keep coming back to puts it, I can choose how I respond to external events, and whether I am harmed or not.Tools and resources mentioned:Craft: craft.doNotion: notion.soIntelligent Change (Productivity Planner): intelligentchange.comProductivity Planner: on AmazonMy Radical Gratitude course: Stoic HandbookStoic Anxiety Mastery: learn.stoichandbook.coMassimo Pigliucci: massimopigliucci.comThe Five Precepts: on Wikipedia Free 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
