How I Supercharge My Day with Ancient Stoic Wisdom
Give yourself a boost by wielding the power of the stoics.
I’m an entrepreneur and freelance writer, which means much of my daily life requires a bit of self-discipline and motivation.
One moment I can be working on a new project, and the next, I might be researching an article.
To be completely honest, it’s incredibly fun and extremely exhausting — often at the same time.
Throw in a world of notifications, distractions, and constant temptations to procrastinate, and it’s safe to say that staying focused isn’t always easy.
That’s why I try to draw inspiration from the Stoic philosophers of Ancient Greece and Rome. Their timeless teachings offer us invaluable wisdom about life — that although much is out of our control, how we think determines how well we live.
I’ve learned that one of the best ways to supercharge my day is by taking a few minutes every morning to meditate on Stoic wisdom.
By focusing on their teachings, I can better ward off stress and anxiety, stay proactive in the face of adversity, and remain focused even when things become chaotic or overwhelming.
Here’s an example of how I do it — hopefully, it’ll help you too!
