Crafting The Ultimate Stoic Routine: Morning Rituals (1)

How you start the morning tends to set the temperature for the rest of the day. This is part one of the routine series, focused on a Stoic morning: a sequence of small practices that point you at clarity and resilience before the world gets a vote.
I walk through reading and sitting with a Stoic quote, journaling to build gratitude and anticipate the day's obstacles, a short meditation, reading from the Stoic texts, cold exposure for a bit of deliberate discomfort, and a brief death meditation to sharpen the day. Take the whole thing or borrow the one or two pieces that fit your life.
