240531 What I learned in my studies this morning 4

Today's Meditation(s):

Discourses, 2.16.1-2 (Waterfield)

Do I practice? Actively practice my Stoicism?

I try. I do, indeed, stop and remind myself to limit my judgment to what is up to me. I think about whether or not I need to, or should, have an opinion about something.

I watch my favorite team lose a game and focus on how this happens in life and it does not involve my will nor any moral import.

I am spurned by someone and think of how their opinions, reactions, and emotions are not up to me and thus must be accepted as one accepts a storm. 

It happens. Deal with it. Get over it. Learn to not let it become anything to 'get over' in the first place.

So yes, I do keep my Stoic lessons in mind often.

Just not always often enough.
