Daily Stoic Entry #264: How Will Today's Difficulties Show My Character?

September 22nd, 2022

Follow along with my personal daily stoic journal, unfiltered, unedited (except for some spelling mistakes).

Morning Reflection:

It will test discipline for good habits. Once again, I'm off the energy drinks, I use it as a crutch to get boring work done. But no more. Have some discipline and self-care. It's not like this is the grandest of virtues to show and test my character but it is something I personally find difficult. The caffeine addiction is strong.

Evening Reflection:

Well, I managed to stay away from the red bull, so that's a win. As well as taking a mindful moment for meditation. The other difficulties I've been experiencing are mostly mental, a slight dip in mood and all that. But I'm on a good stride so it might be more due to the energy drinks detox. So, I'm trying to be kind to myself. Which I'm usually not.
