The Stoic Perspective That Changed How I See Each Day

When I first encountered Stoic philosophy, I didn't realize how much it would become a part of my life. One practice in particular stands out: ending the day with reflection.

Each night, I ask myself: What did I do well today? Where did I fall short? What can I improve tomorrow?

This habit isn't about judgment – it's about awareness. Seneca and Marcus Aurelius both wrote about the value of examining our actions. In my own journey, it's helped me turn challenges into learning experiences and has kept me grounded, even on the most difficult days.

How do you end your day? Do you reflect on your choices, or simply move forward? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
