Practices that may help
- Amor Fati: Loving What Happens
Amor fati — Latin for "love of fate" — is Friedrich Nietzsche’s idea that the highest attitude toward life is not mere acceptance of what happens but genuine affirmation: willing that nothing were different, even the difficult parts. It goes further than Stoic acceptance by asking you to want what is, not just bear it. The psychology of this overlaps with radical acceptance, post-traumatic growth, and meaning-making research, though "amor fati" itself is a philosophical prescription rather than a studied intervention. - Practice gratitude for the full arc, not just the pleasant parts
Express gratitude not only for gifts and good fortune but for the difficulties that shaped you.

Premeditatio Malorum, in Depth - Memento Mori: Using Mortality Awareness to Focus What Matters
Memento mori — "remember you will die" — is the Stoic practice of keeping mortality in view as a clarifier: trivial concerns shrink and important ones become urgent when measured against a real deadline. Used well, it sharpens values and action; used badly, it slides into death anxiety. The psychological evidence is genuinely mixed — mortality awareness can produce either defensiveness or value-driven clarity depending on the person and how the awareness is held.
