Summary
"There are lots of things you should be doing today. Your journaling. Your reading. Taking care of your work, of your children or family. Following the instructions of the authorities (to stay inside, to eliminate unnecessary travel, to make sure you have food and supplies on hand). All this is good. Most of it takes work.
But the thing you should be working hardest at? Being calm."
Ryan describes some great ways to achieve calm and stillness in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.
