Marcus Aurelius - How To Be Mindful (Stoicism)
In this video, we will be talking about how to be mindful from the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius was the emperor of Rome from 161 to 180 AD and is considered as the last of the Five Good Emperors. Widely referred to as a philanthropic ‘philosopher-king’, Marcus throughout his life worked to embody the philosophy of Stoicism. Stoicism helped him to be constantly mindful of his thoughts and actions. During his rule, Aurelius constructed a series of autobiographical writings known as the Meditations. In his meditations, he spends a great deal of time emphasizing the value of mindfulness and which is why in this video we bring you 5 ways we could learn to be more mindful of our thoughts and actions from the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius.
So here are 5 ways we could learn to be mindful of our thoughts and actions from the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius -
01. Keep your focus on the present
02, Always choose to be your best self
03. Always do the right thing
04.Accept and love your life through good times and bad
05.Change your thoughts to change your life
I hope you enjoyed watching how to be mindful of our thoughts and actions from the wisdom 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.

“Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it faith. Feed it truth. Feed it with love.” ✨
I hope u love philosophy
Im going to tell my mind that I have an absolute gargantuan pecker. In time it will adapt to my thoughts and be big enough to throw over my shoulder.
I told it, I was a billionaire, and tha' s exactly when all my checks started to bounce ! jajaja
Well the Fact that U call Ur mind
"It" denotes that Ur Separate from Ur mind
The more Apt way to say that is;
"Your Mind Believes Everything You Tell You" as U are ONE with Ur mind

100% true, we lose what we have now by suffering the imagination of losing it in the future.
“Our life is what our thoughts make it.” - Marcus Aurelius
Marcus's wisdom truly has made me a better man.
I think more logically, care less about things outside my control and focus on what matters.
The stoic philosophy is incredibly practical and very beneficial when you put it into practice
This is a very good lecture about how to apply mindfulness in everyday life and it can help all of us in difficult situations. Actually it has just helped me now, because today I was feeling depressed due to the Covid shutdown and isolation. I never really feel depressed, but today was different, I felt emotionally and physically weak as if I would become sick. After sleeping for an hour, by chance I came across this very good lecture and it opened my eyes. Now I feel so much better. When emotions overwhelm you it's improtant to let them out, but as soon as you are mindful and observe your thoughts and feelings you can control them and stop the process. This is what I just did and now I have regained my power. Thank you so much for this really good video! 🙏
The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness
"The Quality Of Your Life Depends Upon The Quality Of Your Thoughts."
- Marcus Aurelius
"Instead of laying upon my beddings in the morning after waking and lamenting my state of spirit and the state of the world, I could instead find purpose and rigor in meaningful toil of my own choosing. As continuing to remain in my disposition, all I will be likely to find is more of the same which causes my heart harm."
If you are reading this YOU ARE AMAZING don’t let nobody tell you otherwise 😍😍😍😍😍😍
oh ok thanks
Your thoughts can either enable you or undermine you. We must always be aware of them
Live in the moment. Try to intentionally bring an open, accepting and discerning attention to everything you do.👍
I love your videos. I wish more people stopped labeling themselves, they don't realize how much impact it has towards our real life
“Be patient with others and strict with yourself❤️”
This video is life changing and can help people who are struggling with every day life and situations. Mindfulness starts when us humans start to make changes in ourselves physical and mentally with better thinking, healthier actions, and love for ourselves and others.
I keep on coming back to this CZcams Channel to refuel my motivation to maximise my life.
1) Meditation
2) Gratitude journal
3) Yoga
4) Take difficult things bird by bird (step by step)
5) Rituals
6) Limit phone use
7) Clear clutter
8) Go outside
The meditations are great to keep going back to, just to read a few pages and keep grounded and a guide for life!
Rest in Peace Marcus Aurelius, such a great leader and philosopher.
Wherever you go, there you are
One way to be more mindful is to check in with your emotions, and take note of how you feel when you're at work. Get in the habit of checking in with yourself. You may be stressed out during the day without even being aware of it. Be mindful, and pay attention to signs of tension
I choose happiness every day in a time of personal danger and anxiety. I try to be grateful for every single irreplaceable moment of happiness, which at the moment is just reading a good book, spending time with my cat, winter sunshine, feeding the birds in the park, going for a walk. The big things in my life, my dreams have all been destroyed so for now just being healthy and being able to walk are something to be celebrated. I am holding my head high and choosing to smile in front of toxic, miserable and corrupt people that tried to make my life almost unbearable. The older I get, the more I am mindful that this life is all we have so however unhappy, we might as well make the most of it.
Excellent tips, very helpfully explained. 👍🏽
Mindfulness, kindness and acceptance are core for living a calm and peaceful life.✨✨
Very little is needed to make a happy life, it's all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
During conflict situations we do our best!!Doing our best,reveals our true self in difficult circumstances and we act with wisdom!!so we are doing the right things anyway!!
One life tip to ease your way forward didn’t make the list but it may have been for a good reason: this episode focused on mindfulness. No matter, here it is: find ways to turn your weaknesses into strengths. A blind man would make a hopeless sniper but could excel at a listening post. And so on.
This is an absolute delight. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and it was an absolute delight. "Mindful Mastery: Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World" by Kyle Ash
I'm coming from the lessons of buddha video and it's amazing to hear both greco-roman and indian philosophers coming to near identical conclusions almost certainly independently and at very different times in very different contexts. It points to the possibility of an underlying truth that may transcend culture and society.
I agree, I started reading about Stoicism and Buddhism at the same time, the many similarities are striking.
Resilience and Acceptance! Wonderful to know ❤ precious knowing, thank you very much for all the pointers. 🙏❤🌈
Thanks for this.
Happy New Year everyone!
Pure ancient wisdom and pure zen..
I've been waiting my entire life for this video. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Mesmerizing not only the words but also the voice!
This is phenomenal. I recently read a similar book, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. "Mindful Mastery: Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World" by Kyle Ash
Salute to u Mr Marcus Aureliuus.thks.
My friend recomended this chanel and now i am fan
Well Done! Good start on the new year.
Totally agreed, as a matter of fact mindfulness is the basic of meditation.
Don't waste time arguing on what a good man should be, Be one
Keep your mind on the current ( present moment)
Thank you .
Loved this. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤
Thank you sir.
Thanks to anyone involved in this great work. 💓💓👍👍👍
I had to rewatch this whole thing for that quote about "a bright flame" it's in chapter 5
Thanks for one of the best I've heard about stoicism.
I love it all! Thank you so much.
Feeling so grateful for watching this video .. 😇

This is channel is a gold mine😍🙏
❤️❤️ THIS CONTENT!! MARCUS IS MINDFULNESS 🧘♀️.
This is eternally relevant.
Great information! Thank you!!!❤️🙏❤️
"I will never find love" -> "I deserve love" I hardly think this is something a stoic would say.
“Remember to conduct yourself in life as if at a banquet. As something being passed around comes to you, reach out your hand and take a moderate helping. Does it pass you by? Don’t stop it. It hasn’t yet come? Don’t burn in desire for it, but wait until it arrives in front of you. Act this way with children, a spouse, toward position, with wealth - one day it will make you worthy of a banquet with the gods.”
-Epictetus
Thank you soo much sir ....💐💐💐💐💐

8:53...shouldn't it be different...not differnet...?
Love History!

Everyone is selfish at all times - THAT IS GOOD. What serves other and not the self is BAD. The rule is: Me First, You Second. But the trick is I need YOU and you are always important to me.
Thank you
Amazing presentation!
"the right thing", he says. Nobody knows what is right or wrong. I give you a quote, "do whatever you do, do what a good man would do, and what is a good man? I don't know, but at every point every turn do what a good man would do."
Thanks
Awesome
Amazing channel.
Love from India
The disagreeing with your boss example is perfect I have been int hat situation and it always goes bad for the boss in the end. Never play along with these people it will end bad for you
Interesting video.
Thank you, I tried to listen to audiobook of his writings but I don't quite get how to implement his teachings into my life.
Good stuff
Power over your thoughts reminds me of Cognitive Psychology.. Change your thoughts to change your emotions. Change your emotions to change your actions.
Most fantastic comments. how can we all get together and exchange the best of each of us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"The most mundane activities can be magical" I want to be excited about showering.
Great advice but its not when we have emotions that subconsciously arise to the surface resulting from suppressed emotions that manifested in the body in pain or mental illness or anxiety..we have to work on that too and then be able to apply these great techniques in our life.
How about "mind your own business" take responsibility for your own choices and actions. Do not worry about those you do not know do not take what is not yours, do not let others take advantage of you or yours, give respect when it is due, respect yourself. It is not over till you stop trying but know when you have lost and it is time to let go and maybe start over.
You make you word valuable "vow's should be rare" but highly honored. Death is waiting for us all so do not fear it live till you can't.
👌👍
So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘
You should learn from past, in fact it’s essential. This is needed for the moving forward, without, you keep repeating.
❤️
♡
What if doing my best or in the past doing what we did wasn't good enough for the situation?
Cool channel, similar to this new CZcams channel called Friendly Philosophy.
I would rather not judge and just live. Life is suffering. You accept it or don't. There is no good or bad.
I'll give you a quote, "alone I was born, alone I lived, alone I died and no one will remember me"
Sir you are uploading not on time
Ayyy practicing DBT before it was called DBT.

There are so many examples referring to employment. Hmmm ... (?)
The Buddhists talk about right action.

How does thinking of all things the other person went through etc. And give them slack...
Doesn't seem like rhat is being realistic, then u can't accept things ad they are if I'm making things up n not accepting unpleasant things.
A friend said twice she was coming for a holiday, then she decided she wasn't going to buy a house here. Yescthere were other reasons she gave, I considered it a lie. She never rebooked the visit. I would not be in reality if I didn'taccept it just didn'tmean that much to her as to me. I needed to realize that and accept it. It did hurt. If it hadn't happened I wouldn't have found this out.
Still sad but accepting it.
amor fati
I like the story.of this famous hotel chain the owner went around to his different hotel's and put a uniform on and went to help out one day this old man opened the door and and said hey boy I got my shoes that need to be shined you do it and I'll give you a tip the old man didn't realize he was talking to the billionaire owner of the franchise the owner took the shoes and said yes sir I'll go shine them up and make them look nice
Is being mindful on everything not exhausting?
All wisdom comes from God... find him... seek ye first the kingdom of God...
If people lived frugal lives, and have savings & don’t lust for things, you would have less work stress.
i dont think marcus aurelius said all this probably was something more hard to understand

How to deal with long term
Covid and death
Wonder if all people who he fought against , felt he was doing kindness. Lol
Long time I star living now , annoyed now .
Philosophy like Stoicism can Improve the well-being of a person but don't forget to put God in the picture for He is the most Supreme being who can really help man in dark 😢times
