Don’t Burn The Candle At Both Ends
Today’s Daily Stoic Meditation outlines that you must work and relax.
Balance is key.
“The mind must be given relaxation — it will rise improved and sharper after a good break. Just as rich fields must not be forced — for they will quickly lose their fertility if never given a break — so constant work on the anvil will fracture the force of the mind. But it regains its powers if it is set free and relaxed for a while. Constant work gives rise to a certain kind of dullness and feebleness in the rational soul. — SENECA, ON TRANQUILITY OF MIND, 17.5”
