“External things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.” – Marcus Aurelius

Starting the day with 20 minutes of mind-emptying meditation is the most significant and game-changing part of my daily routine.

Aristotle also believed in the power of routine but unlike the Stoics, he thought that habituation could only be successfully achieved in childhood. As for creativity, Kobe Bryant had a great outlook on this topic, he stated that creativity is obtained when there is structure otherwise you're just aiming pointlessly with no clear goal. When there is some kind of structure you can be free to be creative within the framework of that structure while having a clear objective.

I just finished Ego is the Enemy, and I have to tell you I found it fantastic! I’m on way to Obstacles, and your videos are just so inspirational. I like that helping people is one of your daily rituals.

Your content is unequivocally outstanding. I could watch your videos for days. Across domains, Ryan, the value you bring to the world is on another level. I watch these videos, write the daily stoic journal, have read your books and receive both your daily emails. Keep up the solid work 👍🏼

All the info here was engaging. I see that Maiden shirt - now I'm fully locked 😎👍. Discovering the teachings of Marcus has been quite important in this new chapter of my life over here.

The subconscious houses the bulk of the brain's activity, accessing the subconscious promotes our greatest insights. Relaxing promotes accessing the subconscious, routine promotes relaxing, or at least promotes "mindless" activity towards the details to 1. Free up the mind to focus on what matters and 2. Relax areas of the mind to knock around ideas and come up with creative solutions or make innovative connections.

I like the idea of being actively anti-superstitious, by changing things up as soon as it seems like one could argue a causal relationship between something unimportant like your socks and something important like your athletic ability.
I wonder what connections and contrasts exist here with the concept of "alter-ego" and environment priming.

Habits matter. Of course you need to flexible if unexpected disruptions happen like in sport competitions.

A house is built by laying many brick on each other.
Relentlessly and consistently.

Establishment of a routine will eliminate un required decision making and will give you space to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. .... which can also mean being comfortable with note being in your routine.

[zensvlognotapro]

[llewodcm]

Therapy is overrated. This stuff is slowly turning my life around, routine being the biggest building block. Thank you.
