210923 What I learned in my studies this morning

Drowsy day crawls by.

Rolling clouds across thoughts float

Formed slowly and sane.

Daily Stoic:

I don't know that I'll ever master it to the point that it's always automatic, but I've managed to train myself to bypass reaction in favor of purposeful action when facing many of my day-to-day challenges.

Teaching my reason to control my emotions and my bad mental habits is slow going.  I've made progress, but there's still a long way to go.
