Fitness: work towards a hundred continuous push-ups every other day | Diet: don't eat to relieve stress or boredom, and don't eat sugar-heavy treats | Spiritual: pray constantly for wisdom, the benefit of others, the present spiritual discipline, and new job placement; continue to read through Acts | Social: do not be emotionally demanding instead of being good, activate a stop watch if I turn on a video game, do not intentionally end conversations quickly | Academic: adjust and submit conference paper abstract, start semester paper, seek supportive company to aid against long-term burnout | Professional: complete a formal statement of faith and write a formal philosophy of education statement, continue to petition God for further help, follow up with and evaluate on balance all open opportunities to date and their implications, seek additional opportunities

I would appreciate the opportunity to delve into a study of how Stoics approached self-discipline, especially in terms of their assessment of the internal will, external factors upon decision-making (including any distinction between the social and the celestial in terms of what I would assume to have been a numinous cosmology), and the pursuit of finding proper directions for self-application. No rush.

Fitness: work towards a hundred push-ups every other day (I did not quite succeed at this since the last post, but thankfully I didn't lose any gains.) | Diet: don't eat to relieve stress or boredom, and don't eat sugar-heavy treats (we'll call this a half win; I ate healthy stuff, but a lot of sweet treats and ideas pertaining thereto were thrown my way this week by work friends, and I did not do much to restrain myself). | Spiritual: pray constantly for new job placement and wisdom, continue to track through Romans (still no progress on Acts) | Social: continue to embrace courage; successfully plan a social activity with work friends for next Thursday or Friday night (recent success against isolation-bunker-mode achieved), activate a stop watch if I turn on a video game (tried that since last post and liked it) | Academic: read, beware of rage (did not rage quit last week) | Professional: seek out more sources where full-time preaching positions might be posted; do not give up on aggressive pursuit in the face of data backlog.

How did Stoics generally view property/material possession?

Fitness: work towards a hundred push-ups every other day | Diet: don't eat to relieve stress or boredom, and don't eat sugar-heavy treats | Spiritual: cast literally every care on my Father in prayer, read a chapter of Romans every day and keep track of one takeaway without giving up on making progress in Acts, do not retreat from meaningful lesson preparation | Social: be emotionally courageous; invite one person to do something with me 0_o; do not accept temptations to isolation-bunker-mode | Academic: read, do not rage quit | Professional: make ready to pursue full-time pulpit ministry at an aggressive pace
