  • This Stoic Habit Improved My Mental Health | The Everyday Stoic
    Jul 17 2025

    In this episode, William shares the one Stoic habit that radically improved his mental health. Rooted in the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and even Pythagoras, this practice centres on describing events in your life with calm objectivity, stripping away the emotional weight that often makes everyday struggles feel overwhelming.

    William explores the idea of “catastrophizing”—the habit of using dramatic, exaggerated language to describe minor setbacks—and how Stoicism teaches us to respond instead with measured, precise reflection. By journaling your day exactly as it happened, without judgment or flair, you gain a clearer perspective and reduce the grip anxiety holds on your mind.

    Drawing on his personal journey and Stoic texts like Meditations, William explains how this habit doesn’t just help you process negative experiences—it also helps reframe your desires, stripping away the illusion of status and material success. This episode is both a practical guide and a heartfelt reflection on the real power of Stoicism when it's not just read, but lived.
