For the past few years I've been trying my best to integrate Stoic principles into my everyday life. I've got them saved so that I'm reminded of a different one each day in my daily journal. I wanted to share some of them here:

1. Use setbacks as signposts - view challenges and setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth, not as obstacles.
   
   

2. Focus only on what you can control - concentrate your efforts on your actions and attitudes, the aspects of your life you can influence, rather than external events beyond your control.
   
   

3. Practice mindfulness of the present moment - engage fully with the present, minimising distractions from past regrets and future anxieties to enhance clarity and focus.
   
   

4. Develop an attitude of gratitude - cultivate a habit of appreciating what you have, rather than fixating on what you lack or desire, to foster contentment and resilience.
   
   

5. Accept the inevitability of change - understand and accept that change is a constant aspect of life, which helps in adapting flexibly and calmly to new circumstances.
   
   

6. Reflect on your mortality regularly - contemplate the transient nature of life to appreciate the present and prioritise meaningful actions and relationships.
