[@DailyStoic]

What is a routine (or routines) you would like to adopt?

[@leecorleone]

intermittent fasting and a once a week 48 hour fast. Do believe my head is sooo much clearer and my decision making is better. Along with having a more peaceful mindset.

[@labornurse]

Consistent scheduled mealtimes

[@karalguidubaldi1517]

Daily Stoic better cleaning routines

[@RobJenkinsDubTechno]

“External things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.” - Marcus Aurelius

[@sharonmassey2923]

Starting the day with 20 minutes of mind-emptying meditation is the most significant and game-changing part of my daily routine.

[@paulpaul8221]

Aristotle also believed in the power of routine but unlike the Stoics, he thought that habituation could only be successfully achieved in childhood. As for creativity, Kobe Bryant had a great outlook on this topic, he stated that creativity is obtained when there is structure otherwise you're just aiming pointlessly with no clear goal. When there is some kind of structure you can be free to be creative within the framework of that structure while having a clear objective.

[@paulpaul8221]

@Doğan Bahadır Yes, obviously Aristotle didn't believe humans had as much free will as the Stoics did.

[@KingMinosxxvi]

Really that was Kobe.....FFS

[@paulpaul8221]

@@KingMinosxxvi Yeah, he said it in his interview with Jay Shetty back in the day.

[@KingMinosxxvi]

@@paulpaul8221 I mean.....why are you crediting that to Kobe Bryant. First, the small amount of creativity that is present in sports obviously come from the rules because they are playing a game. Second, that idea is not a new one. I am sure literally thousands of professors have said it about the Shakespearean sonnet long before Kobe was born.

[@paulpaul8221]

@@KingMinosxxvi Well if that's the way you look at it then pretty much everything has been said before including stoic principles, e.g. the pre-stoics, smh.

I just finished Ego is the Enemy, and I have to tell you I found it fantastic! I’m on way to Obstacles, and your videos are just so inspirational. I like that helping people is one of your daily rituals.

[@ChristensenBrian]

Ego is a myth. Sad when your 'enemy' is a construct with no tie to reality.

Your content is unequivocally outstanding. I could watch your videos for days. Across domains, Ryan, the value you bring to the world is on another level. I watch these videos, write the daily stoic journal, have read your books and receive both your daily emails. Keep up the solid work 👍🏼

[@tedalexander5263]

This one of the best channels on KZbin - great length outstanding content and really seamless mesh between ancient wisdom concepts and modern application. Thanks Ryan. This is a rock solid addition to your books. Peace

[@theironforce3000]

All the info here was engaging. I see that Maiden shirt - now I'm fully locked 😎👍. Discovering the teachings of Marcus has been quite important in this new chapter of my life over here.

[@pivotal-ai]

The subconscious houses the bulk of the brain's activity, accessing the subconscious promotes our greatest insights. Relaxing promotes accessing the subconscious, routine promotes relaxing, or at least promotes "mindless" activity towards the details to 1. Free up the mind to focus on what matters and 2. Relax areas of the mind to knock around ideas and come up with creative solutions or make innovative connections. I like the idea of being actively anti-superstitious, by changing things up as soon as it seems like one could argue a causal relationship between something unimportant like your socks and something important like your athletic ability. I wonder what connections and contrasts exist here with the concept of "alter-ego" and environment priming.

[@darinjames3313]

I think Im part Stoic.....And Im ok with that.....I had to shuffle the deck myself a lil this beautiful mornin.....this is me....routine....hey.....is that a Maiden shirt??!!.....Oh yeh....Stoics are Rock n Rollers too!!!....This is good.....Somedays i feel like Jesus......and others....like the Devil...But I think deep down Im a Rock n Roll Love Wizard.......I hope Stoics can believe in the power of Magic!!....These videos of yours have helped me so far on this journey.....and I thank you for that....it is a Maiden shirt!!!...Adios for now Amigo....I got a couple minutes more to watch....

[@llewodcm20]

Therapy is overrated. This stuff is slowly turning my life around, routine being the biggest building block. Thank you.

[@calin6327]

Therapy is good for people who are in chronic depression mode. I know those people haha, but yes, this is glorious

[@dandoiron]

Establishment of a routine will eliminate un required decision making and will give you space to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. .... which can also mean being comfortable with note being in your routine.

[@zensvlognotapro]

yeah..sleep is important. I feel rejuvinated after a sleep.🤗🙏

[@ks8090]

You feel rejuvenated after sleep?

There are two kinds of people, One who have faith in the internal and others who have faith in the external. We have also explained how it affects our decision making, take a look at it if you are interested.

[@williebarkley5692]

Awesome

[@retotheinfinity7116]

Where can I find the full episodes of any of these talks🤔

[@oneminutephilosophy6065]

Guys, One of the biggest advice Seneca gave was not to be involved in politics. We can now clearly see Ryan's invoking a certain politician for no reason has put off some other people who would be otherwise receptive of the message. I implore you to overlook his personal bias and try to go out with the key takeaway of the video. Which is a Powerful Routine can change your life for the better.

"Bourgeois" is a loser commie word.

The whole idea is Reducing your needs so much that you can survive with so little money that you can choose a job which gives u a lot of time for yourself.
