Even though Marcus Aurelius wrote it 2,000 years ago — his insights on Stoicism still carry strong weight today. Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. Even though it is over 2000 years old, more and more people are discovering how Stoicism is not only relevant to modern times, but can be applied in very simple, yet strong ways.

Journaling is very helpful for getting into the flow state. I appreciate the stoics for their contemplative nature

I think the best thing about journaling is that it allows you to be completely open about everything. Looking at yourself and life with an unfiltered view is really important to ensure success.

Since age 15, I have done written, audio and video journaling, and I am now in my 81st year.

Although I’m not a person who is doing journalling regularly, I find this lecture really interesting. I particularly like the idea about the best case scenario and worst case scenario. If we have an idea about the worst possible outcome nothing can hurt us. The dichotomy of control is a really good concept!

[TheDhammaHub]

The habits we pursue have so many different effects, that it makes sense to track a whole array of different things!

Crazy how the universe works. I just started journaling 3 days ago. This morning I was searching for videos on Marcus Aurelius and this is the first video I come across. Thank you. Instant new subscriber

I have been journaling on and off for 10 years. Then after a horrible breakup, my mind was so blinded on my ex that it started to blame me for the breakup. Reviewing my notes on my journal reminded why. It was a good idea to end the relationship. It was a very bad relationship and the daily journals I have kept showed me the way. It was instrumental for my recovery. I highly recommend you to start journaling now. (I use day one)

My Project is all about telling the story of the building of the "Original Transcon-RR", and having issues concerning collating data into bullet-points I can refer to as I speak to my audience. Concentration in-face of "overwhelming" information overload is daunting, and quitting before results' obtained, is spirit-damaging. This video helps me to open up my journal writing to better usefulness as a sharpened tool to overcome this deficiency. Thanks. PS...I am ordering the Journal.
