Discover 7 simple Stoic practices you can use today to turn stress into strength — at work, in traffic, or whenever pressure hits.


Separate Fact from Story — Cut through mental noise and see events as they are, not as stress paints them.
Sort What Is and Isn’t Yours — Let go of what’s outside your control and focus your energy where it matters most.
Expect Setbacks — Meet frustration with calm, not surprise — because you saw it coming.
Welcome Fate (Amor Fati) — Turn unwanted events into training for patience and adaptability.
Catch Your First Thought — Pause before reacting, and choose clarity over impulse.
Choose Moderation — Build balance in work, tech, and habits that drain your focus.
Use Stress as Training — Transform tension into a teacher that builds inner strength.
“You have power over your mind, not outside events.” — Marcus Aurelius
