Stoic philosophy
Stoicism is a Hellenistic philosophy that’s been around for over 2,300 years. Stoicism is a life philosophy that helps you think and approach reality in an effective way.
Stoic philosophers have been known throughout history for their logic and practical advice. In essence, they were early model thinkers.
Modern psychotherapies like Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) draw extensively from Stoicism. The scientific method and academic community have proven the Stoics right.

Morning Journal:
- Write about three things you're grateful for.

In the evening ask yourself four-question :
- What did I do well today?
- What did I do poorly today?
- What bad habits have I checked today?
