Daily Stoic Update
I’ve stopped posting the daily stoic on my website. I am still doing them but it’s all in hand written form. I’ve enjoyed that process much more than coming here to post. It has helped to post them here. I remember getting feedback very early on that me doing it helped others pick it back up or start the Daily Stoic. That motivated me for a while. It’s a powerful tool for dealing with life’s struggles and improving ones life so I encourage those to still do it. The stoic I just read was about how we control are own thoughts and decisions. I like being inspirational to people but it’s still on them to do something with it and keep doing it.
When I take notes at work they’re hand written. I was doing this prior to the pandemic and its since been tested after the pandemic because I have my computer in front of me. It’s convenient. Handwriting is a skill that is going by the wayside and that’s unfortunate because it provides some benefits. It’s relaxing, it improves memory, and it gets us away from electronic devices that have invaded our lives. I want to use the Daily Stoic now as an opportunity to do a handwriting exercise everyday. This will also force me to come up with blog topics for the blog. I’d like to get back into blogging but I’ve yet to really commit to it. Some of that is having topics other is knowing what I want to do. Stoicism will help with that. Though I plan to blog about other topics.
Blogging about stoicism these past few years has been a great exercise. Like anything I think it’s time to evolve.
