Episode Details

Some mornings the dread arrives before the alarm. A tightness in the chest, a list already forming, a quiet resistance to the day ahead. This guided Stoic practice meets you there — not with forced optimism, but with honest preparation.
You'll practise the ancient Stoic technique of premeditatio malorum: facing what you're afraid of before it has power over you. Not to make yourself anxious — to take the charge out of it. When you name what you're dreading, it shrinks.
