A meditation to practise the most useful idea in Stoicism until it actually sticks. The dichotomy of control is simple to say and hard to live: some things are yours (your thoughts, your actions, your responses) and most things are not (other people's opinions, the outcome, the weather).

This guided practice walks you through that sorting in real time, so you can feel the difference rather than just understand it. The more you sit with it, the easier it becomes to put your energy where it can actually do something.
