The first moments of the day are the rudder of the ship. How you choose to begin your morning dictates the course of everything that follows. Instead of reaching for a screen, the Stoics began with a deliberate preparation of the mind. This journal prompt is your guide to that timeless practice.
Based on the morning rituals of philosophers like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, this prompt guides you through a powerful 5-minute routine to set your intentions, anticipate challenges, and ground yourself in reason before the day's chaos begins. Printed on durable, glossy-finish vinyl, it's designed to be placed on the inside cover of your journal as a permanent reference for your daily practice.
This is more than a sticker; it's a framework for a more intentional life, starting today.
How to Use:
-
Place in Your Journal: Adhere the sticker to the inside front or back cover of your notebook.
-
Contemplate: Each morning, take five minutes to quietly read and reflect on the three prompts.
-
Write: Answer the questions in your journal to bring clarity and purpose to the day ahead.
