Stoic Morning Practice: Let Go of What You Can’t Control
•
Jon Brooks
Start your day with the most powerful Stoic distinction: what is up to you, and what is not.
In this 6-minute guided morning practice, you’ll gently identify a current worry, feel where it lives in your body, and release everything outside your control. Through clear teaching, visualization, and a simple daily intention, you’ll cultivate calm agency and resilience—no matter what the day brings.
Perfect for anyone who wakes up with racing thoughts, anxiety about outcomes, or a desire to respond rather than react. Epictetus’ timeless wisdom, delivered in a modern, practical way.
Return daily to strengthen the habit.
