I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

I only control my mind. That was a huge revelation for me last year and helped me in so many ways. I stopped wasting energy on things outside of my control and focused on making better decisions and choices. Today I still can struggle with it. This past week I did not sleep well. A lot of it was choices. It’s also the realization that I can’t control my body. I can’t sleep like I used to when I was younger. I may have even overslept. Wasting energy on worrying about enough sleep is pointless.
