☀️ Stoic Morning Minute: Put Each Day Up For Review

💭 Modern Translation

Your brain keeps the same mental tabs open as an ancient Roman's did. The difference? Seneca had a system for closing them each night. His evening reflection wasn't therapy—it was training. Think of it as deleting your mental browser history so tomorrow runs faster.

⚡️ Your Move

Before bed tonight: Write one sentence about what went well, one about what didn't, and one about tomorrow's intention.

No fancy journal needed—use your notes app.

When you wake up: Before scrolling TikTok, write down the one potential challenge you're most worried about today. Then write exactly how your best self would handle it.

Try this now: Grab any scrap of paper and write one sentence about the last conversation you regret. How would you rewrite it?
