Hey everyone, the explanation behind these videos is here: th-cam.com/video/Be1VIWUqyno/w-d-xo.html Please let me know if you like these. I want to know if they work for other people too. (If they do then I'll likely offer them hosted as mp3s so they're easier to consume, but will wait for your feedback first)
Hey there fellow Stoics. I'm form Africa and excited to be a part of this ancient way of living. I'm a security guard who wants to own a marketing agency one day. This evening routine allows me to build the right habits to achieve my dream goal.
This is too good. Your morning and night meditations have made it easy for me to achieve my dream of commiting to such beautiful habits.... It's only been 3 days, but soon it will be 30. Good night 🤍
Stoicism is the most incredible thing I’ve discovered. It has forever changed my life for the better. Vox Stoica, in case you haven’t already been told a million times, thank you for doing these kinds of videos, especially the audiobooks of Meditations and Enchiridion. Whenever I have time to kill, I listen to your videos. I’m beyond grateful. Thanks!
Im writing this post goodnight but wow thank you for this. Id been procrastinating on tidying my room and putting my washing away ALL day and I got it all done in those four minutes. This is a great idea, I have to say if I wasnt already subscribed to your channel I dont know how I would have gotten on with another type of video. But I feel as its from your channel ive listened to the stoic texts that you understand the kind of evening routine a stoic may enjoy. Compounded by the fact you too have a strong voice. Again thank you for this. I commit to doing this for seven days, and I look forward to starting the morning routine tomorrow. Goodnight for real now.
Lol so i forgot to update everyone but I'd like to say it was a success!. It really can make a difference in your morning routine and overall your day.
Hello! It's my day 4 of following this and the morning routine video. I was so tired the first 3 days but today, despite having only 3 hours sleep last night, i felt so energetic and focused! I finished 2 works, cooked 2 meals, exercise, garden, made a tutorial video all in 1 day! I also had some time to watch a documentary & engage a bit on social media. I didn't feel the normal anxiety i felt previous to this routine (i had a very bad & long breakdown). I hope i will be able to keep this up even when things get tough. Thank you so much for this video!
I do like these - I followed this evening one on a whim (?) as I just discovered you tonight. Discipline is missing existence and much needed to bounce back from a terrible, devastating bout of depression. Thanks.
Outstanding, thanks. Helpful. In response to your mention of other possible routines, I’d be grateful for one for ceasing work, packing up, and heading out for home.
You almost but not quite, make me want to have children in the house so that I could share your wonderful guided daily routines with them. My Ferrets simply do not listen well nor do they want to brush their teeth. I am truly enjoying your videos and am a new subscriber and an old(ish) INTJ. I am guessing but not googling, that Benjamin Franklin also read Marcus Aurelius and Seneca. His daily routines were very similar including and especially his journaling. Thanks again, INTPWorld.
The remainder of my family passed over during 2020 and I really need a slap around the face to not slumber. Hopefully you can help. I like the idea of this video, it's the first time I've heard of such a concept. It would be nice to hear instruction from somebody. Like having parents here telling me what to do ✌️
Both the morning and evening routine have helped me so much. The power of routine really is phenomenal. Thank you for all the videos and keep up the great work. :)
I am also studying my own routine,habits and rituals. I believe we are all naturally learning to evolve. Perhaps a good routine will help or support our natural ways.
Wow, best thing/idea in a while (them motivational videos on TH-cam don't work anymore). I will try these videos upcoming days and if they work, I mean if I manage to do this, then I will record my own version just for my self with my own playlist music, wow, I already hear my own content/version. Will update how it turned out. Thanks again.
Easier said than done. I mean I have now done these things you mentioned on routine few days, but I do them on my time without listening the video, I listened videos few times so I remember what's in them. What is very surprising is that I do this things mindfully and not like in the past (I kinda needed to force myself). Now it's like this and that and all is done in a second. I mean my own routine which was struggling earlier. I guess the mind set plays a big role. Very powerful videos you made, I cannot explain why or how they worked on me so positively/well. High hopes that this lasts. Still planning to record my own track with my own voice, like some kinda army general speaking on the backside to sleepyhead morning version of me, with some extra stuff like some inspirational quotes/notes/remainders for the day/etc between the tasks. In a matter of fact I could record every evening new one for next morning while doing evening routine. How did you came up with this idea? I have achieved in past week more than whole last half year, and without any effort. Maybe you have more ideas similar to these. Interesting stuff on your channel, some of never heard of, but kinda knew that them exists. Thanks
@@egoalter8745 Hey just saw this comment (it was stuck in spam for some reason!) Great to hear it's been working for you. I too transitioned away from the recording after a few weeks as the behaviour become habitual and needed no guidance. Although that just frees up space to listen to other guided routines to improve other parts of life! I guess I came up with it several years ago when I used to listen to a text-to-speech version of some guys motivational blog post every time I went running. I think that was the genesis of the idea. But as with most things it's ended up as the accumulation of many smaller ideas over time. You say you've achieved a lot in the past week, are you referring to just the routine or has the disciplined behaviour spread into other areas as well? You might find recording a new one every evening tough to maintain; that in itself is another habit to stick to and a fair amount of mental energy. But definitely experiment. Using 'previous you' to tell 'current you' what to do can be really effective, we usually know what we should be doing, it's just 'current us' always comes up with excuses why not to do it.
I’ve committed to a stoic week. As part of it, I commit to these morning and evening routines. After the week is over, we’ll see what the results look like. If positive, then I’ll continue
I can’t believe this is your voice! I love it! By chance do you have an overdub of it? I would love to create my own time frames and exercises! I have been doing it for over a month now and I look forward to it every morning and night. Thank you again!
Hey Tyson, I'm creating a DIY app version at the moment, where you can change the order and lengths and ideally record and add in your own segments. Send me an email and I'll give you some more info. (You can get my email from th-cam.com/users/VoxStoicaabout)
thank you for both of the routines, I‘ve been doing the morning one quite consistently, and now am getting into the habit of doing the evening as well. Like you say, it makes life a little better every time you do it. The only problem I‘ve had so far is, that the meditation background sound is too close to horror games I‘ve seen so it creeps me out and stops me from being able to zone out and stop thinking.
Two minutes for review of the day is not enough for me at least, 10 minutes is more like it as I do for my morning preparation of the day. All the best. John.
Yea find what works for you. Personally I give the day a rating 1-10 and write down what actions made it that way, and what I could do to improve it tomorrow
Day one: I already wanted to quit :/. Ive done this routine before and found it helped in so many areas of my life. But I always stop for one reason or another. I think I may be scared of trying to be a better person. I did complete the morning and evening routine and feel better, like ive at least been able to accomplish one small thing for the day if nothing else! But I felt like it lead to a lot of other stuff getting done today that might not have otherwise. I commit to completing the routine tomorrow.
I must have watched morning and evening routines about 16 times before noticing that they're *shortened* ones. Can we also have the full length ones? I'd be curious to see them.
I was initially planning on only doing 5 of the 10 min of meditation but they went by so fast, I thought it had barely been 3-4 min when you said 30 seconds left 🤣
I do it to explicitly recognise what made today good/bad, and for what reason. I find it helps me focus on doing more of the good and avoiding the bad. An example would be: Tuesday: 7/10 Good: Great feeling after doing improv, worked hard and published a video Bad: Missed my alarm because I was hungover, forgot to do stretching today Conclusions: focus on doing more improv comedy. Remind myself whilst working that it makes me feel good afterwards even if not in the moment. Always avoid drinking more than 4 pints. Develop a way of integrating stretching into my daily routine so I don't forget/avoid it. A contrived example but hopefully illuminating :)
@@VoxStoicathank you! it did force me to boil my day down to positive and negative. I typically use a journal to try and untangle any repressed or troubling thoughts and emotions but that could be worked in earlier in the day

This was my first night using this one. I like the morning one so far but it is difficult to stick with at times.
Currently listening to this with my wife right now.
Will it be possible to make a time stamped version of this?
@@joelego5767 Done.
I listen to these at night and morning and it makes me feel like batman, and your voice is Alfred.

Knowledge Seeker 78 this specific routine no. But the idea of Stoicism? Yes.
Goodnight, Robin homer. Thanks for making this. Followed it this arvo, I enjoyed it, and intend to make it a habit. Will see how it goes

What is the reasoning for the short journaling period? Not disagreeing with it but just curious
I do it to explicitly recognise what made today good/bad, and for what reason. I find it helps me focus on doing more of the good and avoiding the bad. An example would be:
Tuesday: 7/10
Good: Great feeling after doing improv, worked hard and published a video
Bad: Missed my alarm because I was hungover, forgot to do stretching today
Conclusions: focus on doing more improv comedy. Remind myself whilst working that it makes me feel good afterwards even if not in the moment. Always avoid drinking more than 4 pints. Develop a way of integrating stretching into my daily routine so I don't forget/avoid it.
A contrived example but hopefully illuminating :)
