So here are 5 ways to think clearly from Marcus Aurelius-

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.

Marcus Aurelius says ‘You have been formed of three parts - body, breath, and mind. Of these, the first two are yours insofar as they are only in your care. The third alone is truly yours.’

So much of reality is in our mind. There is so much potential in our hands

You are incredible, you are unique, you can face anything in your life, you have the strength within yourself to overcome any obstacle, loss, or situation.
You are not alone, you are loved, you have the right to feel bad and good, you have the right to feel.
Be blessed by these positive vibes and live your life to the fullest.

The things that disturb us are not things themselves, but our judgments concerning them.

We are not our emotions or thoughts. It's hard to remember this, but this is the beauty of mindfulness and meditation, to remind us that we don't have to identify with the emotions we experience. The mindfulness book "30 Days to Reduce Stress" by Harper Daniels helped me a lot with this, as did Meditations by Aurelius and the Tao Te Ching.

Emotions come and go. We can only control our reactions. We can't make emotions stop.

Its a good wisdom, but we need to pursue our goals without put enormous blame upon brain if fall out of these objectives . Think critically about each step to avoid your collapse entiely and lose the ability to rise up again.

I love all of these teachings, , I've indulged in them for over 25 years. But for one who is stuck in severe trauma for as much time, they seem to lose all validity

I cant fully agree on no.3. I think it’s pretty subjective.
Negativity is maybe needed if you were a person that does not have motivation but if you have been struggling with negative emotions for the longest time (depression) it leads you back to that sad person you used to be and start having panic attacks again n again.
I think to control emotions, you also need to remind yourself to be grateful and humble as well as being rational. Not entitled or compelled though.

Hypocritical a Roman emperor had this mindset and never use it 😂. He ruled an empire that enslave people by conquering their lands.
