Simplify. Be content with what you have, and let what you have be simple. An item that serves its function well is a beautiful item.
How could we not walk away wiser from a 20-minute #meditation session during which we contemplated, however briefly, impermanence, interconnection, and unconditional love for all beings? How could we not walk away with a deeper understanding of our true nature from a 20-minute…
Desires arise from trying to interface with the world in a way that either supports or rejects certain attachments we hold about ourselves.
I just published another original short story. It’s an adaptation of a real story involving the founder of Stoicism, Zeno of Citium, and his teacher, Crates. It’s called Zeno And The Soup Pot Challenge: A Short Story About Humility. Check it out and let me know what you think!…
In this episode, I share my experience from ten plus years of regular meditation practice. I’m self-taught when it comes to meditation, so I feel I’ve developed an original perspective without the hindrances of strict rules or dogma. I hope for the discussion to lead to practical…
It’s essential to know that there’s no need to struggle—there’s no fighting in this practice. Be kind to yourself, you are trying your best. With every mindful breath and every mindful step, you are beginning a journey to live a good life with meaning. #Mindfulness
In this article, we’ll explore ten ways to speak like a Stoic. We’ll explore how some ancient Stoic practices have been adopted by modern psychiatrists and have come to define some of the most effective behavioral therapies of today. Finally, we’ll examine some of the most useful…
Like gratitude, agency is not just something we think about for a few minutes when someone or something reminds us of its importance. It has to be a daily practice.
This is why the breath is so important as an object of focus in #meditation. It’s always there. It’s a bridge between mind and body, and it requires no concepts, notions, ideas, or language.
Peace is a verb. Peace is an action that we should all take more seriously. In this episode, we discuss the concept of practicing peace. We talk about how our thoughts, speech, and actions, even in seemingly mundane situations, are the tiny drops in the bucket that ultimately…
Making the effort to insist on more in these ordinary moments, for both yourself and for those you love most is more than worth it. When you think about it, the mundane moments in life are the most significant moments, because they are the majority of life itself.
The ego loves suffering just as much as it loves pride, being right, and enjoying pleasure. This is because suffering puts the ego in the spotlight. I'm grieving. I'm jealous. I'm offended. Whether a happy me or a sad me, it is still me.
To cultivate real solitude, we must become unshakable, or at least uneasily swayed by cultural currents. Otherwise, we can never truly be alone. We’ll always be with fabricated versions of ourselves.
Urgency and focused attention are compatible. Urgency is the elimination of idle time. It’s putting down the YouTube video. It’s canceling the Netflix subscription. Urgency is structuring your day so that the most important things happen at your most focused times. Urgency is…
The Stoics used the label of preferred indifferent not as a paradox. They used it to remind us that it’s natural to prefer health over illness, but even health cannot come at the expense of good character.
In the beginning, when we practice meditation, there’s no chasing after concepts, but simply focusing on our breath and embracing silence and resting. And when thoughts or emotions arise, simply embrace them with your breath, and gently let them go.
“There is great difference between joy and pain; if I am asked to choose, I shall seek the former and avoid the latter. The former is according to nature, the latter is contrary to it. So long as they are rated by this standard, there is a great gulf between; but when it comes to…
If you look broadly in the literature, you can find that Stoicism has advised on everything from how to sell a home to how to conduct your sex life. This is what attracts me to Stoicism. It’s always acknowledged that we have roles to play in this life. It understands that we have…
In the sense of Zen meditation, to stop we must literally stop using our body to manipulate the world. When you want to practice Zen meditation, first put down the phone, don’t try to kill two birds with one stone by stretching or practicing yoga, don’t worry about lighting…

The secret to deep work? Not just a quiet room, but a quiet mind. Eliminate noise, internal and external, to let your brilliance shine.
We can deal with threats without feeling anxiety. Join me for a mindful meditation practice to help prevent and release needless anxiety: bit.ly/49HzkuH
The relentless elimination of noise creates a path to innovation. Clear the unnecessary and watch new ideas bloom.
"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." Marcus Aurelius
@themindfulstoic Thoreau whispered, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Treasure the everyday; in its simplicity lies the true essence of life. 🍂🌟
What we have is a very unstable world. There’s lots, and lots, and lots of Chaos. There’s a huge percentage of that pie that is simply not up to you, yet here you are on the ride. So, at the very least, be here now and do your best to enjoy it.
🧘 Wisdom Wednesday: It's not what happens, but how we see it. "It isn't events themselves that disturb people, but only their judgments about them." Reflect. An event is just that. Our peace? It's how we respond. Stick to facts. See things as they are—this is true wisdom. 🌿✨
Book Review: The Socratic Method: A Practitioner's Handbook by Ward Farnsworth Read this compelling book and see why we need the return of the Socratic Method in our current society. Learn about its link to Stoicism and how it can improve our discourse. viastoica.com/the-socratic-m…
Despite our best efforts, some things in life we simply cannot fully prepare for. Luckily for us, our eyes adjust to darkness, and we can see the smallest of lights if we look hard enough.
Hector has only been in Athens for one day and he is already sparring with the Greeks in the National Archaeological Museum!
@themindfulstoic I also sometimes use meditation to enter a deeper state, more in tuned with my intuition. Then I can arrive at higher truths. Do you do something like that?
@themindfulstoic beautiful summary of what meditation is. Simple. But not easy
In the beginning, when we practice meditation, there’s no chasing after concepts, but simply focusing on our breath and embracing silence and resting. And when thoughts or emotions arise, simply embrace them with your breath, and gently let them go.

@themindfulstoic Reminds me of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but for goal setting, nice idea! I've been thinking a lot lately about the downsides of skipping levels—I'm glad you mentioned it. Most people don't realize that it just doesn't work.
