7 Ancient Stoic Habits That Will Transform Your 2026

Описание: What if ancient wisdom could transform how you navigate 2026? Over years of practicing Stoic philosophy, I’ve distilled timeless teachings from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus into seven essential habits that work in modern life.
In this video, I share the Stoic practices that have carried me through years of challenges, setbacks, and breakthroughs. These aren’t theoretical concepts—they’re habits I’ve lived, tested, and refined. From mastering anxiety through Epictetus’s dichotomy of control to practicing Marcus Aurelius’s morning intention ritual, each habit offers practical tools for real life.
You’ll discover how to practice premeditatio malorum—negative visualization that paradoxically reduces anxiety and increases gratitude. Learn Seneca’s evening self-examination technique with three powerful questions that turn daily experience into wisdom. Explore Marcus Aurelius’s “view from above” practice that shrinks overwhelming problems to their proper size.
I’ll also share how voluntary discomfort builds genuine resilience, and why amor fati—love of fate—is the ultimate Stoic practice that transforms your relationship with everything that happens.
