Premeditatio-Malorum
Premeditatio malorum is a concept from Stoic philosophy which means premeditation of evils. It involves contemplating potential negative events or outcomes in advance. By doing this, one can mentally prepare for adversity, reduce the emotional impact of unexpected challenges, and develop strategies to handle them effectively. This practice encourages resilience and mental fortitude, helping individuals maintain composure and rational thinking during difficult times.
“Keep before your eyes from day to day death and exile and all things that seem terrible, but death most of all, and then you will never set your thoughts on what is low and will never desire anything beyond measure.” — Epictetus
