Start the day with the most useful Stoic distinction there is: what is up to you, and what is not.

In this 6-minute guided morning practice you will gently name a current worry, notice where it sits in the body, and let go of everything outside your control. Through short teaching, a simple visualisation, and a daily intention, you will practise meeting the day with calm and a clear sense of what is yours to do.

Good for anyone who wakes up with racing thoughts or anxiety about outcomes. Epictetus, made practical. Come back to it daily and it gets easier.
