Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.

This week’s meditation is on the Discipline of Assent, which is one of three disciplines within Stoic Philosophy (the other two being discipline of action and discipline of desire). The Discipline of Assent involves monitoring the conscious and subconscious value-judgments that we place on external events and acting in accordance with reason and nature. In other words, we give ourselves time to analyze these implicit value-judgments that we create and decide if we assent or agree with them. This Discipline is designed to prevent us from acting irrationally and it allows us to make correct judgments concerning the nature or reality of the world.
