To anyone else who haven’t read Meditations (Marcus Aurelius),it’s easy to read, very accessible, short passages that you can read, put down book and reflect…for a long time…lol
Also, there are several podcasts out there that discuss the Meditations.
Be well peeps
I do a pretty good job of maintaining a calm exterior, but I’m rotting in the interior. Calming my mind is so difficult…Once I fully embrace my “powerlessness”, I pray that I’ll have a calm mind.
So true. I make up things just to worry about them…sigh.
Yes, I understand this, because I struggle with it at times. Have you tried guided meditations? Like on the app Insight Timer?
Great book! If you like Stoicism try
How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life by Massimo Pigliucci
Ego is the Enemy and The Obstacle is the Way
Some of the ancient books on Stoic thought can be hard to grasp, but Meditations by Marcus Arellius is classic Stoic material.
Not Stoic but Stoicism and Buddhism are similar
Stoicism is an important block that builds the pillars of my life. Wonderful thread. Glad you started it.
I have Insight Timer and tried the guided meditations for anxiety. I need some new ones. Any suggestions?
At my Monday evening AA meeting, we recite the Serenity Prayer. I’m trying to get better in “letting go”. What will happen is out of my control. Very hard concept for me. I want to control everything…sigh.
Simple Habit is what I use.
I will round up a few favorites and DM you. I hope you had a beautiful Easter with your family.
