My blood boils and then I'm half way through a response when I have to pull myself back, erase the post, shut down the app and come over here and breathe
Sadie looks like a very good girl.
Life is better with dogs ❤️
Her name is Darla. She's a street dog that decided to adopt us.
Smartest dog I've ever met. She's like a responsible 12 year old.
Goes out to play with her friends on the street, but always home for dinner and bedtime. ❤️
For this morning's Stoic exercise, try a reflection on the day ahead.
Reflection on the day ahead is a Stoic practice that helps you prepare mentally and emotionally for the challenges you may face.
Purpose:
To cultivate awareness and intentionality, equipping yourself to handle situations with composure and virtue.
Steps for Reflection
1. **Find a Quiet Space**: Choose a calm environment to focus.
2. **Set Aside Time**: Dedicate 5-10 minutes.
3. **Visualize the Day**: Mentally walk through your schedule and tasks.
4. **Anticipate Challenges**: Identify potential difficulties you might encounter.
5. **Consider Your Responses**: Reflect on how to respond virtuously to challenges.
6. **Embrace Acceptance**: Acknowledge that you can’t control everything and focus on your reactions.
7. **Affirm Your Intentions**: Conclude by committing to your intentions for the day.
Benefits:
Incorporating this reflection can lead to a more intentional and fulfilling day aligned with Stoic principles.

I agree. I think they align beautifully. The Stoics would have been Bitcoiners for sure.
Literally, every time I wander over there again.

GM 🌞 Happy Friday!
I don't have a lot on the agenda today.
I live a quiet life in Mexico and so one of my goals today is to take my dog to the beach to play in the surf.
I find great joy in spending time with my furry best friend.

I tried to zap you some sats but it doesn't look like you have a wallet set up yet.

We are not in as much control of ourselves as we believe. There are powerful heuristics and evolutionary motivators that we simply aren't aware of at the conscious level.
How often do we retroactively create a reason for our actions after they've already been taken? A reason that is internally consistent with our personal narratives about who we are as people.
I've always been intrigued by this study out of UNSW. They could predict a subjects choice up to 11 seconds before the the subject was consciously aware of it by examining brain function.
