When you’re about to embark on any action, remind yourself what kind of action it is.

And you’ll thus undertake the action in a surer manner if you say to yourself at the outset, ‘I want to take a bath and ensure at the same time that my choice remains in harmony with nature.’ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support
