What a great new, and practical and creative Stoic Tool! (Add to Cognitive Distancing, etc.):
Emulate Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations by describing in writing the people I admire for their specific traits and actions of wisdom, character, virtue.
Then keep careful track in writing of my own progress (or lack thereof) in those areas, day by day. The goal: to make more progress as a human being by using a Stoic tool derived from Meditations - along with other Stoic tools!
