1. Practice Acceptance: Accept things as they are, focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you cannot.

Stoic Quote: "Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens." - Epictetus

2. Develop Self-Discipline: Cultivate self-discipline in your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Practice moderation and avoid excess.

Stoic Quote: "No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don't have, and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have." - Seneca

3. Live in the Present Moment: Focus on the present moment and make the

most of it. Let go of regrets about the past and worries about the future.

Stoic Quote: "The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately." - Seneca

4. Practice Virtue: Strive to live a virtuous life based on wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. Align your actions with these virtues.

Stoic Quote: "He who follows reason in all things is both tranquil and active at the same time, and also cheerful and collected." - Marcus Aurelius

5. Maintain Equanimity: Develop inner calmness and tranquility, especially in the face of challenges and adversity.

Stoic Quote: "Calmness is the cradle of power." - Josiah Gilbert Holland

6. Reflect on Impermanence: Remember the transient nature of life and appreciate the present moment. Reflect on the impermanence of all things.

Stoic Quote: "Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good." - Marcus Aurelius

7. Serve Others: Practice kindness, compassion, and empathy towards others. Contribute to the well-being of society.

Stoic Quote: "We are made for cooperation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth." - Marcus Aurelius
