It‘s okay to fall into an unproductive flow sometimes, but our habits do shape us.
The cool thing is, we get to choose which habits we reinforce.

Great day! Canceled therapy because I didn't want to talk about issues. Meditated, read a book on grief, and went to Starbucks instead.

pickThis has been a very enjoyable book to pick up daily for some bite sized food for thought. 💌
"I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others."
Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Daily Stoic meditation: the antidote to my reading slump.
pickMeditations is a classical collection of writings by Marcus Aerelius, former emperor of the Roman Empire. Marcus‘ Meditations are commonly entwined to Stoicism, an ancient philosophy, and would be placed in the self-help section of any library. As I read further into the book, I increasingly find Marcus‘ reflections relevant to modern day life, although having lived nearly 2000 years ago.
This book holds a special place in my heart. It got me through the difficult time of when my father was dying. I‘m not sure how I would have been able to cope without it.
Of interest to students of Stoicism, this newly revised and expanded edition features four English-language translations of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒊𝒐𝒏 by Epictetus collected in a single volume.
Featuring a new afterward by Trevor Blake, author of 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝑬𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒔𝒕.
