  Speaker 1: way we start our day sets the tone for everything
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that follows. Stoicism encourages us to seize the morning and
• 2:07

• 2:33
  Speaker 1: In a world fixated on the pursuit of constant positivity,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Stoicism introduces the powerful practice of negative visualization. Take a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: moment each day to contemplate the impermanence of life and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the potential loss of the things you hold dear. While
