How to Journal Like a Stoic · 5:35 · Video: Jared Henderson · Watch at the source

In short: Discover how to transform journaling from a simple task into a rigorous philosophical exercise. This video explores how to apply the ancient techniques of Marcus Aurelius to modern self-reflection.

The goal of Stoic journaling is to move beyond occasional thought and toward making deep, philosophical thinking a consistent habit. By studying the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, individuals can learn to treat writing as a tool for personal growth and active philosophy.

Rather than just reading about philosophy, this approach encourages the reader to live it. It frames the journal as a space to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary life, fostering a practice of intentional self-examination.
