I've been an avid reader of Stoicism, and was introduced to it by, you guessed it, Tim Ferriss. I have been conciously trying to adopt the philosophies and mantras into my day to day life.
Have compiled the following tangible techniques/approaches to thought feel free to add your own:
* Premeditatio Malorum (premeditation of evils or Negative Visualization)
* Stoic Fork - Make the best use of things in your control and let nature handle the rest
* Temporary Ownership - Never think of things you own as yours, merely borrowing from the universe (recycle)
* Superficial Experimentation - Put yourself through situations that warrant ridicule in order to become resistant to it
* Worse Case Scenario Simulation - Set aside a certain number of days to eat the cheapest food and cheapest clothing asking yourself: is this the condition I so feared? Make yourself uncomfortable
* Only be ashamed of things worth being ashamed of; inoculate against superficial attachment in what others think
* Planned Fasting
* Planned Cold
* Planned Poverty
* Planned Ugly Clothing
* Context Shifting - Cosmic relativism; remember you’re going to die and the world will keep turning
* Growth mindset - praise yourself for the work not the result; challenge creates growth
* Remove Distractions - am I afraid of death because I won’t be able to do THIS anymore ? If it’s no, then Remove the conveniences.
* Opinions to actions - opinions are fine to have and express if they are followed by action but you shouldn’t have an opinion to have an opinion
* Default to action - action before talking; so what needs to be done instead of “I should”
* Daily quote meditation - take a stoic quote and reflect on how to apply it to your life everyday
* Stoic Mindfulness - be in the moment; be attentive to what’s happening
* Daily reflection journal - what did I do right ? What did I do wrong? What could I have done better?
* Art of Aquiescence
