Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism. Today’s guided meditation deals with time and how it is the most valuable possession we possess. Our ability to perceive time in the future tense is both a blessing and a curse. We are a living contradiction in that we know that we will die, yet we live as if we have unlimited days. We would do well to do all in our power to live the lives we want to lead with the time given to us.

Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism. Today’s guided meditation will be on indifference regarding the thoughts of others. As human beings and social creatures, we often orient our lives so we can get praise and avoid criticism of those within our social circle. The Stoics taught that we should focus on the opinion we have of ourselves instead of attempting to seek others for validation and approval. P.S. If it sounds like there are two different people talking during this video, it is because I was under the weather for part of the recording. Apologies if it is distracting.

Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism. For today’s guided meditation, we will be discussing the topic of anger and advice on how to deal with this emotion. Anger can cause lasting negative consequences if we are not careful and learn to manage it. Within the Stoic framework, anger usually arises due to our skewed value judgements. As stoics, we need to practice the discipline of assent, or stoic mindfulness, to evaluate if our opinions and judgments are in accordance with reason and sound logic.

Welcome to Mindfully Stoic.; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism. Today’ session is focused on the subject of grief and what the Stoics believed the remedies to be. Grief is something that we all will encounter and is very much a part of being a human being. Even those with the strongest of hearts and toughest mental fortitude will succumb and experience profound grief. It is my hope that something said today might lift your burden of grief and help you along your journey.T-shirts & Mugs: ReanJeanClothing - EtsyMusic Attribution:Almost in F by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song...License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism. This guided meditation concerns the Stoic virtue of temperance, also known as moderation. As you may recall, the Stoics had 4 cardinal virtues by which they lived. These virtues are Courage, Temperance, Wisdom, and Justice. Today we will focus on temperance which is the avoidance of excess and extremes and how that relates to our day and age. Temperance isn’t meant to be less pleasure but the way to bring about lasting pleasure. This idea is related to Aristotle’s Golden Mean of virtue, or the Middle Way as described by the Buddha.

Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.Before I get started with this guided meditation, I would like to say thank you for your support. I haven’t been able to upload as frequently as I would like to because of some recent changes, but I should have more time to work on providing content for this channel. If you have suggestions for future guided meditations, topics that you would like me to cover, or would like to share how mindfulness and/or stoicism has improved your life, let me know in the comments below. This guided meditation is called Purpose & Progress because it reflects on the Stoic approach to purpose and duty to humanity. As we understand our nature as human beings and what attributes separate us from other living things, we begin to more fully comprehend our purpose and what constitutes progress.

Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.This week’s meditation is on the Discipline of Assent, which is one of three disciplines within Stoic Philosophy (the other two being discipline of action and discipline of desire). The Discipline of Assent involves monitoring the conscious and subconscious value-judgments that we place on external events and acting in accordance with reason and nature. In other words, we give ourselves time to analyze these implicit value-judgments that we create and decide if we assent or agree with them. This Discipline is designed to prevent us from acting irrationally and it allows us to make correct judgments concerning the nature or reality of the world.
