The reminders are a combination of the Pomodoro Technique and vibration alerts on my watch or phone. Just enough to remind me to step back at periodic intervals. As far as success stories I can say that it has cut stress down considerably because I keep perspective and avoid tunnel vision. The exercises I talk about are usually mental imagery techniques, "the view from above" and recollections of the "dichotomy of control". My journal is hand written since it is not for anyone else. I try to write at least a half page or more per day. To other people it is probably completely illegible. Resource wise I can suggest this book https://www.amazon.com/s?k=9781549877735&crid=TQ4VA5BUEQI9&s... for general exercises. It was written by a r/stoic redditor and is very plain language and contains lots of easy to understand mental exercises. For a good introduction to Stoicism look more to Sellars Stoicism Book. It is a little academic but a good read.

I am a Practicing Stoic,

Morning routing is to spend about an hour reading texts and scholarly commentary while drinking my coffee. Then I journal, my morning journal entries are discussions with my inner daemon about how to handle the days events. Preparing myself and remembering what is and isn't in my control. Throughout the day I have reminders set to step back and examine what I am doing at that moment. This is usually coupled with one or more mental exercises to keep perspective. In the evening before going to bed I sit back down with my journal and go over any major events from the day and examine them against my philosophical beliefs. Did I approach it correctly? What did I get wrong about it. When its all written down I close my journal and forgive myself for any missteps I might have made.
