This is a Stoic contemplation you can do every morning before you start the day.
It is based on Marcus Aurelius’ “premeditation of adversity” excerpt from his book Meditations;
"When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly."
By practicing in this way you will be prepared to meet any event with ease.
