The most important practice in Stoicism is identifying what we control & what we don’t.
We don't control what happens, but we do control how we respond to what happens. “The chief task in life," Epictetus said, is focusing on what we can control.
“If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval,” Epictetus said, “realize that you have compromised your integrity. If you need a witness, be your own.”
“Most of what we say and do is not essential. If you can eliminate it, you’ll have more time, and more tranquility. Ask yourself at every moment,
‘Is this necessary?’”
— Marcus Aurelius // Meditations
