Affirmations to Practice Stoicism

Practice Stoicism

Stoicism, an ancient Greek philosophy, teaches the development of self-control and fortitude as a means to overcome destructive emotions. It encourages clear judgment, inner peace, and resilience, making it highly relevant in today's fast-paced and stressful world.

Practicing affirmations can significantly aid in internalizing Stoic principles. These affirmations, when repeated regularly, can help rewire our brain to respond more calmly to life's challenges, fostering a mindset of tranquility and strength.

 Unmoved by the storm, as calm as can be.

 In the face of adversity, I stand tall,

 For I am the master, the ruler of all.

 I visualize a fortress, strong and serene,

 In the chaos of life, I am the unseen."

 

A Prayer

"Dear God,

 Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
