7 Things To Do In Your Evenings - Marcus Aurelius (Stoicism Evening Routine)

- In this video, we will be talking about 7 things you can do in your evenings from the evening routine of Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor and a student of Stoicism. During his rule, Aurelius constructed a series of autobiographical writings, now known as the Meditations.
Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD and is considered as the last of the Five Good Emperors. During his time, he constructed a series of autobiographical writings known as the Meditations, in which he constantly advocated for finding stillness in life and while his meditations regularly speak of the importance of waking up early and seizing the day, he also stressed the importance of taking time to retreat into oneself and find stillness. Thanks to his journalling, we have a fair idea of what his evening routine would have looked like and in this video we will be diving into 7 different things Marcus Aurelius would have done in his evenings and how we can follow or adapt that routine to our modern day lives.
So here are 7 things you can do in your evenings from the evening routine of Marcus Aurelius -
01. Eliminate external Stimuli
02. Get some physical Exercise
03. Review your day
04. Contemplate your personal sage
05. Take a view from above
06. Spend time with family
07. Prepare for mornings
I hope you enjoyed watching these 7 things you can do in your evenings from the evening routine of Marcus Aurelius and find them helpful in your life.
Even though Marcus Aurelius wrote it 2,000 years ago - his insights on Stoicism still carry strong weight today. Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. Even though it is over 2000 years old, more and more people are discovering how Stoicism is not only relevant to modern times, but can be applied in very simple, yet strong ways.

Marcus Aurelius says “Nowhere you can go is more peaceful, more free of interruptions, than your own soul. Retreat to consult your own soul and then return to face what awaits you”

TOO many ads, man.
Thank you! The world needs more people like you.
Yo thanks for this!!
Ms. Stoic i wish i could print this summary; it is excellent.
WAY to many ads
loved the 1--5 suggestions... stillness & mindfulness!
hard to come by, but absolutely possible... does require discipline. ...there is 'freedom' in discipline.. Thank you! & Good Luck everyone trying to "calm & still the mind!... it's that! or losing your mind in the unforgivable volley of intrusions..
The other day a storm knocked out the electricity. I haven't had a evening that peaceful in a long time
My man just ended Thomas Jeffersons whole career 💯👌🏽😂 this comment made my day ive been using less electronic stuff and god damm I haven’t been in a synchronized state for with myself in a while i missed this feeling
Haha i stumbled across blissful evening that same way , was really annoyed at first , then i settled & red a book with a candle ..

@@Seanz069 probably a mistake, hopefully!
I’ve spent many days worth of hours sitting by the river in the woods or watching the ocean waves on the rocks and doing absolutely nothing. That time is valuable.
I gave up social media 5 months ago or so. I now use my phone for text, calls, and TH-cam. Best part is once I get home I hardly touch my phone and stay busy taking care of things until I get myself into bed at which point I read a little each night. Give up social media folks, itll make your life better!
Completely agree I've given up chats songs etc through self inquiry journey all happend automatically ...
And what sort of "things"" you mentioned above have replaced it?
@@jacekmiksza505 I hit the gym, I make the effort to go 5 days a week. That usually kills a good hour an a half of my time after work. Plus I'm a home owner so that comes with its own set of weekly responsibilities. I also have several fish tanks that require weekly maintenance so that takes up time as well. One of my hobbies is scale modeling, which I make an effort to do a few hours a week if I can manage, because its my firm belief that creativity is important for a healthy mind. Not to mention im also a step dad so I also squeeze in some time every night with the kiddo. Its funny, because I can tell your "question" was a feeble attempt at being snarky. Due to my work schedule im in bed pretty early (8:30 to 9 on average) and after I've read some, I watch some TV, maybe 30 minutes or so which is how I end my day. I cant help but feel you had this assumption that I gave up social media on my phone, and traded it for something along the lines watching TV for hours, or playing video games, or something along those lines, etc.. next time you wanna make a stab at someone it would probably help if you atleast knew the person. Point im driving with my initial comment was how much better I've felt since I disconnected. I dont impulsively pull my phone out, and I stay focused and accomplish task much more efficiently. If only more people would do the same, I think the world would be just alittle bit better, along with people not making assumptions about people they've never met.
Same here dude, it's been like 4 months now, I'm surprised by how little I miss it.
@@thesameinitials5655 right! Its amazing!
After a string of personal disasters out of our control last year (death of two very old beloved dogs/companions, deaths of FIVE family members in unrelated incidents, a sudden legal attack based on inheritance estate issues, etc, all BEFORE we got got covid 19!),
I lost a ton of weight from stress, but it actually improved my health inadvertently, taking me to healthy blood pressure and out of diabetes danger. One day when out walking and worrying, I started slowly jogging along to stop thinking...I never ran before in my life, but it felt so good, I kept going. The next day I picked out my favorite tunes on my phone and started running to those...I had weak, out of shape muscles, but my mind felt so rested as I slowly loped along, that it was completely different than I had ever felt! I know this sounds incredibly simplistic, but I couldn't believe the strain I was under, until it lifted! Where I run around the lake near my house, neighbors walking by began to encourage me, to say hello, to smile. Wrapped up in my own problems, I hadn't even noticed other people, but I found myself looking forward to the friendly waves and kindness, especially as we were all now "locked down" and walking separately from each other. It has taken many months, but I have finally made it to five miles of meditation time while slowly running along every day...the only thing I am trying to achieve is serenity and a positive resilience inside, and a healthier life outside. I look forward to every day of knowing I have this time to see others, relax, and plan positive things...I hope someone who sees this will know that it is never to late to start. I am 60 years old! I am in better shape now than in my entire life, I feel better mentally than ever. Never give up! Every single day is new!

Thank you for being encouraging! I want to add that we rescued an aussie shepherd dog off the street and a cat, they get along great! I walk my aussie every day, then she sits in the truck listening to the radio with my husband while I run around (my husband has asthma and still slowly recovering so he doesn't excercise much yet..). It good for all of us to get out!

Dinner is called everything is switched off
We converse as a family and we talk about our day and the problems we face during dinner and washing up
After this is done it's alone time for ourselves
I encourage the kids to take time to reflect the bad and the good and to come to us with anymore problems
This was taught to me by my Opa
It's the best thing for a good healthy mind ☺️

@@Johnconno granddad i think.
What is opa ? I hope it doesn't mean who I think, and rather its someone else ..lol
I do NOT watch TV and rarely watch movies. I have a homestead miles from town and no neighbors for 4 Sq miles. I find being outside watching the chickens and ducks, dogs and cats and Rabbits just being themselves is very calming. It abject quietness and peace.
I work nights and have down time to think and reflect.
Beautiful. I’m tired of the city, it’s funny because I live in Idaho and I think I’m doing it wrong! Lol
And then come to yt so u aren't fully off the grid

I've read the Mediations. Marcus was a man ahead of most other people in thinking and lifestyle. Too bad we do not leaders like this today.
Mach1 GTX democracy is never accepting such leadership, unless you literally spread out elections to every decade and a half to mitigate its inherent abhorrent time-preference. All philosophers of antiquity spoke of democracy only pejoratively, as did the entirety of the American founding father, who created a representative republic that was only indirectly democratic. Propaganda has fooled people into believing America has always been about egalitarian principles and a democratic polity, but the truth is this was only incorporated during the descent of a once-singularly great nation. Democracy was worsened by the fact that arbitrary and drastic demographic changes both caused and solidified it. The country has been revolutionized, and once the south (which was the last western culture not based upon materialistic philosophies) was defeated, the path was all sail and no anchor. Anyone wanting a prescient and cogent prediction of this should read the very short letter of Thomas Macaulay to Stearns Randall in reply to the latter’s biography of Thomas Jefferson
Here is the letter published by The NY Times. It is a quick read and well worth it to see the views of a most prudent and erudite Anglo who was a liberal Whig historian. One can see his genius for clarity of exposition and prose in this short and friendly response to a fellow in the field
Jeff Spicoli indeed, sir. Agreed on everything.
@@andrewjackson2677 I agree
Please call them elected officials. Leadership requires dedication and selfless. I can not think of a single elected official who maintains both in today's political arena.
Other than that, I agree with all that you say. 🙂

When I find an interesting video, I download while I read the comments
15:36 Whenever i bring this point up (Forexample when my boyfriend complains about not having a lot of money), i just get "Just because others have it worse, doesn't mean you can't feel bad about your own problems". I regularly think how lucky i am to have a fridge full of food, a warm shower and bed, a healthy family etc. How many people in the world would love to trade places with me.
I know you need to balance being grateful and content with hopes, dreams and goals, but it seems like people only look at what they COULD have.
Brutally honest?? Well, the lucky person you're describing, is in the process of becoming the very one I feel lucky not to be. Sorry, but, from what I perceive, that's coming from the very comfort zone and complacency, that so many people opt for, which eventually turns them into either physical or mental invalids or both. Be aware, none if the stated is guaranteed to be permanent, so better get used to that idea. Just saying. :)
@@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892 Unsure what you mean. You need to have a healthy balance in life when it comes to striving for more, and being content with the now.
When you look at people who have more money than you (As if that's the beacon of happiness, but besides the point), which was my example, you'll either get jealous, unhappy and/or resentful with your current life, or you do something to change the situation and make more money. Obviously the first choice (wether due to inabality or unwillingness) just brings negativity, and if you're not going to change the situation, then it's it's wise to "count your blessings". It's also wise to do that if you consider that you CAN make more money, but it will come at a cost elsewhere in your life.
There is nothing wrong with being grateful to live in a wealthy, safe country where your children are some of the happiest in the world. Acknowledging your privileged position in this world, making use of it, and being grateful for it, is also a form of respect to the people who are leading very hard and difficult lives.
Masha Allah, your boyfriend must be a lucky person to have you as his girlfriend. Surprised on how much you care for your close one!
I love this comment! Ur right! I feel the same way. We have so much to be grateful for. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will provide. Whether u see it or not. He ultimately, already has provided the only thing we need
What does he need the money for?
"I'm too stressed to exercise" thats *exactly* when you need it the most
Is that turning negative energy into positive energy? Quite opportunistic to go about life that way!
exactly, exercise is #1 in reducing stress and improving stress resistance
No matter what mood I’m in before working out I always come out after wards feeling good and accomplished, nothing better
No need to start with a heavy gym program. Work with the amount of exercise you can tolerate at worst, enjoy at most. Then start incrementally stretching that. Really helpful method for me, and it sticks when you apply it every day.
@@nickllanes8030 don't pull a muscle. LoL good moto.
The more I read books or articles on Stoicism, and read Marcus Aurelius meditations I've come to realise that my late mother and my father has raised me on Stoic principles and values. Although they never once mentioned thier parenting values acknowledging to a particular philosopher or philosophy. Life is blissful and quite easy to navigate through adverse circumstances when a person is raised this way. Or if a person starts teaching oneself to understand stoic philosophy at a later stage in life.
A lot of people raise their kids that way, regardless of whether it is called stoic or not.
Same here
I has a job that was so slow I was able to just think by myself for like 6 hours a day for several years.
I ended up drawing these same conclusions as stoics. Then I stumbled on the philosophy and it makes me feel even more sure of myself that this is the way to think and live.
It makes me appreciate the peace I enjoy during my time in history. Stress less over the things I cannot control and mindful of making the adjustments I can be proud of myself for making.
@@2beJT I spent so long consuming my own thoughts with everything out of my control, that I neglected my own self control, gambled and drank silly got into lots of debt etc.. i switched it, got a big house I love and a job I can be in control of things that give me individual freedom and settled with a woman who loves me.. still paying for some mistakes but working on it and I am healing faster than ever. lost about 3 stone, no longer deal with toxic people who I realised weren't really caring for me at all. I still keep falling down but stoicism feels right to me as it has helped me improve my lot so much
Ahhh, someone who appreciates Marcus Aurelius! His writings are awesome, from the start he warns us: Hey! You have ONE life, one chance only to get it right! Thank you.

The exercise quote is from Socrates
"It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit. But you cannot see that, if you are careless; for it will not come of its own accord."
I am 76 . I go to boxing gym and weight gym. So in great shape. But still have a troubled mind. Wrong stimuli. I know.
It's incredible how wise the ancient philosophers were, we've lost something with so many ready-made distractions at our fingertips.
@@robertburnett5561 That is tremendous, tell us more. Upon reflection, what do you think you should change?
Working out and being aware of your day, that is gold. I have been doing this for about a year and a half now before I seen this video. If you don't do those things I advise you to do them it will literally change the world.
I'm close to 40, I work out every day after work it helps me decompress. then I'm able to leave work at work and focus on being at home. It has helped me be a better father or better husband and just a better person in general.
My wife also works out when she gets home and it has also did the same thing for her and has helped our marriage.
Focusing on your day at the end and realizing the things that are bad and that you want to change and your interactions. that has helped me get rid of some toxic relationships in my life and has improved my quality of life. I hope people who look at this video really implement these things for a better life.
good luck friends
What most people don't understand is that you can actually go outside of your body and encounter many entities out there, good and bad. They knew this back then and very few seem to understand it today but trust me when I tell you you can actually have full awareness outside of your body and travel anywhere. All the Ancients knew this and all the elite know it now. I also know it and can tell you from first-hand experience. Have a beautiful day.

In light of our mortality, and to relax our emotional tension, it is also good before sleep to practice forgiveness toward any that has harmed you, through prayer, or to ask for forgiveness when it is possible.

I find, the best thing to do, from experience, is to meditate 20 minutes in the morning, 20 in the afternoon, and 20 at night. I’ve been doing this for 7 years.

I like the idea of viewing from above. It lets you get an objective stance in life and while it's scary and a little overwhelming, it allows you to look at the bigger picture

Amazing video fellas! I love that you guys boil these ideas into the most essential and actionable bits. I really found this video useful. Thank you all for your great work. Take care and all the best.
Such a beautiful use of your humanity to make these videos. We appreciate it.
this is exactly what i needed. thank you and thank you Marcus Aurelius
Wow these ideas are amazing, i have a terrible memory and journaling is something that ive never even considered. I work out constantly but never truly appreciated its benefits, obviously a nice aesthetic shape but also helps with mental growth.
Love your videos, I’ve been listening to Seneca for years now, love these videos breaking down more lessons in Stoicism!! Keep it up!!🤗
So much wisdom that stood the test of time.. Speaking of spending time with the family, it looks as though spending time with Commodus was overlooked..
An excellent video. Thank you. Just what I needed to be reminded of.
Fantastic video! Deeply informative, yet also reminding us viewers the basics to a meaningful life... Which we have massively forgotten during these meaningless times.
Keep up the good work... We all kinda need it right now.
All the best!

This has been the best of all, thank you🙏🏼
This was nice and motivating.
It was Easy for them to wake up early becuase the Ancients still lived Surrounded by NATURE. When I go onto Absolute Nature ( mountains or sea ) I naturally feel like getting up early However the opposite of it in the Modern cities where Nature has been turned I into desolate Apartment Buildings Graveyard.
Step out of your grave then! Nobody forces you to live the big city life ;)

Eat a good dinner, shower, and get some rest for the next big day! And, say your prayers..
I can totally relate to this although I was not aware that I am a stoic person. 😉 Particularly the morning routine and sports routine are important to me. Physical exercises are always a pleasure to me and it has always been difficult for me to understand how anybody could dread body exercise. Healthy mind in a healthy body, this is how I feel. Retreating from the noise of the world and all its distractions is another thing I totally agree with!
Love this! Thank you😊💗
I love all the insights in your channel
Gonna start using some of these tonight and slowly incorporate all of them, love this channel. Thanks a lot🙌🏾
Hey I said that yesterday, but I’ll really start tonight
Its amazing how far it goes just meditating and breathing and being aware of each finger and toe and aligning your chi
Beautiful video on stoic philosophy ! The hassle & bustle of modern life leaves out most of the important things that matters to a person's inner peace,health and contentment. All the noise around us,actual & imagined ,causes people to lose their sense of direction in life . Meditation as pointed out in this excellent video gets us back into focus & making our life purposeful for our benefits and others as well.Thank you and more success to your group sirs/ madams !
This was wonderful. Thank you.
His Meditations remain among my annual studies. Timeless masterpiece.

This is a nice video for someone like me, who spends most of their evenings trying to complete everything I didn't get to during the day and making less work for myself the next day... some how I see point to this and that has been my routine forever. its pretty stressful. good video maybe I can resort back into myself and take on smaller tasks to quiet the mind. also I like the part about the SAGE. that is very helpful

One of the most useful videos on stoicism.
Negative visualisation has positively impacted my life by anticipating things which might go wrong and to become unfazed by them.
I’m not sure this is healthy. Being “fazed” is normal and necessary human experience. If a loved one suddenly died in an accident would you mourn them?
Not for me. It's just depressing.
@@matt25675 "Fazed" means to worry so I think what the OP is saying is that with a healthy mind you can deal with obstacles robustly and not be reduced to anxiety and panic when confronted by such.
Marcus Aurelius: take time to disconnect

I want to say I support and love your concept for this channel.
love this video , appreciated , wish you all the best.
Ah I see. That #5 is partly what I learned from a certain S.Korean meditation practice. Zooming out of yourself does help indeed.
The guy who refused MA’s order to destroy his writings is a legend.
Some of the most profound ideas I have ever heard.
Wonderful videos prompt wonderful threads of comments.
Praying before sleeping, judging oneself before sleep and feeling gratitude after waking up, thinking of one's example and how they would behave, accepting destiny and spending time with family. Those are values taught in Islamic teachings.
And beheadings.
Islam is misogynistic cult crap. Christianity sucks, too. Think for yourself.
When i was kid my family called me Marcus Aurelius i just thought it was cool name
Amazing video and voice over. I related to a lot of the content and also felt in tune with its teachings. Looking forward to frequenting your channel more often
great video, thanks so much for making it!
sadly, i find that strong beer after 8 hours of standing on my feet faking a smile is the closest thing to "stillness" i can find nowadays.
Jesus, Buddha, Marcus Aurelius and Epicurus are kindred spirits .
I guess spirituality and inner peace is never lost, only manifesting through great men.
Can you say more
Bingo :)
A great video and I have learned so much from it. And it actually fits in with my interest in history. I will watch more video's from you, thank you for making this video.
Amazing made! Thank you!

Once in a great while, why not? If after you've done it you want to do it again, and again, and again -- then it was a mistake, don't do it.
that is exactly my philosophy - snap!
Yeah I used to do that until it became everyday
Thankyou, this is a great video!
Stoics practiced right living, right thinking, right actions, compassion, mindfulness, daily reflections, like Buddhism. Really uncanny
Yep. :)

Very helpful reminders
Simple and brilliant.
Actually, studies have shown that exercising early in the day helps to get a good night sleep. Late exercise does the opposite.
Can confirm.
@@ClayHales I used to suffer from insomnia until I started my day exercising and stopped eating 3 hours before going to bed.
Enjoyed the video but alas, would have appreciated it more without the annoying background music. It just adds to the many external stimuli we have in our daily lives.
I don't remember what the thumbnail of this was, but all I expected was to learn about Marcus Aurelius. I got a lot more than I was expecting. I want to incorporate this into my life.
Best channel to learn about philosophy for life....loved it ❤️
Wow, doing this whole list in the evening is quite a task and may be very stressing. :D
But just imagine how much time we spend laying around watching Netflix or on our phones scrolling through social media. Remember there is plenty of time it just depends how you utilize it 😉
So hard to switch off in this world, especially with Netflix in the evening
Yes, we are over-stimulated
Grow up, eh?
I takes a lot of self discipline, indeed!
Just get rid of it.
If I had not been looking at TH-cam tonight, I wouldn't have seen this. Now I know how to better embrace this philosophy. Thank you.
Wonderful narration and I am amazed at how the things we worry about in 2021 were answered 2000 years back by. Roman emperor.
Just finished meditations. He was pretty big on understanding others and outside influences with reason, and letting go of emotional reactions to them (and rising above ideas of suffering). It's in almost every other paragraph in some form or other.
Is it just me, or do most great philosophers say the same damn thing in different words?
And yet we still don't hear it.
The ironies here are just too dumb and painful. I especially like the auto-playing ads interrupting your words of wisdom.
