View From Above

Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism

Today's topic is a mental exercise called the View from Above. This exercise can help us realize the impermanent and interdependent nature of life. It can allow us to realize how connected we are to the universe as a whole. It can give us a sense of awe, wonder, and humility by contemplating the grandeur of the cosmos.

One way to incorporate this in your daily life is to practice being an outside observer throughout the day to break out of habitual reactivity. For example, if you feel yourself getting angry, or if you're wasting time watching too much tv then you can take a moment and “observe” yourself to reflect on if you are acting virtuously or not. Thanks for listening to Mindfully Stoic.
