The Complete Stoic Morning Meditation

This is a complete morning meditation based on Stoic philosophy. In this meditation, we begin by entering into the present moment and finding our motivation and intention. From there, we bring together many important Stoic techniques, from cognitive distancing to premeditation of adversity to set ourselves up properly for the day and fortify ourselves against whatever may arise.

Excellent information. I am ready for a meaningful day! Thank you, Jon.

I've done this meditation a number of times and it's always just as powerful as the first. I really appreciate the way it brings me to a state of equanimity and sets me up to have a grateful and even-keel day. Thank you, Jon.

This session gets at the heart of Stoicism. Thank you!

Jon Brooks is one of the best teachers on Insight Timer. Thank you, Jon!

This was my first time here, stoicism was only something I was mildly aware of but I feel more like I mildly understand now. I am grateful for your knowledge and look forward to learning more. Thank you

Thank you. 🙏🏼 A really interesting journey that brought up new perspectives.

I appreciate how “to the point” this meditation is. It brought clarity and a different type of spiritual consciousness that required profound soul seeking truth. After going through the questions, and more importantly, being as humanly present as I could, I felt an emotional shift. Now to see how that self truth unfolds for the day!

Refreshing with exciting challenges. I will give attention to this meditation daily. Thank you

Really good consideration of the day ahead. Thank you 😊

So good, profound …Yes, I’m paying attention and aware of the benefit of these meditations. Thank you

Jon, I just got into your meditations through the stoic course of negative thought loops and they all resonate with me so much. I highly enjoy them! Thank you for this meditation as well. Your question at the very end really puts life into perspective. Thank you for helping me see the little things are truly that. Trivial. They will not break me unless I allow them too.

Very practical guided stoic practice with an intense but fair call to action in the beginning. Great stuff!

Absolutely Amazing. Had a beautiful perspective shift. Thank you!

What perspective! This has dragged me kicking and screaming into my day Jon and I thank you from my heart for this. 🧡

Outstanding! This meditation grabbed me by the shoulders, looked me in the eye, and old me the truth.

This was really very powerful.
Planning to do this on a daily basisil and internalize the thoughts deeply.
Thank you so much for creating this amazing meditation.

I wasn’t expecting this meditation to be so real and raw. I love it. The questions we were asked to contemplate really got me thinking about how minute my “problems,” seem when I zoom out and look at them more objectively. I will come back to this track over and over again. I will cherish each moment and appreciate it for the miracle it truly is. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!!

Just starting my Stoicism undertaking. You’ve been a great teacher so far. Thx

Ha! Absolutely appreciate being put in check! Fantastic assertive stoic energy and teaching. Thank you 🙏

Interesting and engaging window onto non-attachment, and appealing to me as a scientist. I’ll be back.
