Some mornings, the first voice you hear is a prosecutor. It lists what you did badly, what you did not finish and what you should have become by now.
This guided Stoic morning practice helps you take one honest mistake, separate the facts from the verdict you added, and test that verdict against what you would say to someone you care about. It draws on Seneca's nightly self-review and Epictetus's distinction between events and our judgements about them.
Being fair to yourself does not mean pretending nothing happened. It means keeping the fact and dropping the attack.
