  • Stoic Morning Practice: Stop Dreading Day Before It Starts

    Stoic Morning Practice: Stop Dreading Day Before It Starts
    Apr 10 2026

    Some mornings the dread arrives before the alarm. A tightness in the chest, a list already forming, a quiet resistance to the day ahead. This guided Stoic practice meets you there — not with forced optimism, but with honest preparation.
    You'll practise the ancient Stoic technique of premeditatio malorum: facing what you're afraid of before it has power over you. Not to make yourself anxious — to take the charge out of it. When you name what you're dreading, it shrinks.

  • When the World Feels Unjust (A Stoic Response)

    When the World Feels Unjust (A Stoic Response)

    Most people hear "focus on what you can control" and think Stoicism means stop caring about everything else. That's not what it means — and it might be one of the most misunderstood ideas in the entire philosophy.
    It starts with a Marcus Aurelius line that most people skip: "You can commit injustice by doing nothing." This isn't an invitation to detach. It's a call to show up.

    Three Stoic approaches for responding to injustice without losing yourself: premeditatio malorum (pre-rehearsal of what's coming), redirecting anger into one concrete act of kindness, and a daily question — "what is within my power right now?"

    Practical Stoicism for anyone who cares about the world and refuses to look away.

    This video was inspired by a question from a member of our Stoic Vault community.

  • Discipline Is a Skill, Not a Trait (5 Stoic Moves)

    Discipline Is a Skill, Not a Trait (5 Stoic Moves)
    Mar 24 2026

    Start here: If you want to build a consistent Stoic practice — not just listen to one — I made a free 7-day challenge. One short audio lesson per day, one practice to try. No fluff. stoicchallenge.co

    ---

    I used to think discipline was a character trait — like height or eye colour. Some people had it. I didn't. That story is comfortable. And it's complete rubbish.

    The Stoics didn't treat discipline as willpower. They treated it as a set of five trainable skills that get stronger with reps and weaker with neglect. In this episode I walk through each one, using some of the best lines Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca, and Musonius Rufus ever wrote on the subject.

    The five moves: decide before the moment arrives, do before you discuss, guard what you let in, train in small frictions, and pause before you react. Each one is something you can practise starting tonight.

I stumbled onto this by accident, having scoured the internet, insight timer, and finally discovering it on Spotify looking for a guided Premeditatio Malorum. Normally, I wish meditation guides would not introduce their meditation, because when you come back to it the next day, it’s a bit repetitive. With Premeditatio Malorum, however, it’s vital that they be introduced and reintroduced every time. Jon does an excellent job of balancing the ratio of instructional preparation and guiding you through powerful imagery. Hats off to Jon—this is amazing work and utterly transformational. It has made me grateful beyond anything I could have imagined.

Brilliant. Transformational.
