This episode explores gratitude as a Stoic practice, emphasizing the transformative power of attention. By imagining what we might have already lost—or even our own death—we can reawaken appreciation for ordinary moments: a conversation, a child’s question, a walk with a pet. Marcus Aurelius calls this the “bonus” life, a reminder that presence and awareness turn the everyday into something precious.👇 👇 👇📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENTCheck out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack:☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: Let Us Cherish Old Agehttps://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-let-us-cherish Hosted on Acast.
