A short guided meditation for the moment before you act, when nerves or overthinking are pulling you off course. We use a few Stoic ideas to settle the mind: what is actually in your hands, what is not, and how to step into the next thing with a steady rather than scattered head.

This is not about emptying your mind, it is about calming it enough to move well. Use it before a hard conversation, a piece of work you have been avoiding, or anything that has you spinning before you have even started.
