Stoic practice ยท 30 sec
Imagining the Sage Observes You
Borrow the attention of a wise observer for one honest check-in.
Use when: midday, automatic behaviour, quick check-in
How the practice works
- Read the frame Choose a person whose judgment you respect and let the thought of their presence sharpen your attention.
- Record what you notice If your role-model could read your mind right now, what would they note?
