Minimalist with stoicism remind yourself of impermanence
In the case of particular things that delight you, or benefit you, or to which you have grown attached, remind yourself of what they are. Start with things of little value. If it is china you like, for instance, say, ‘I am fond of a piece of china.’ When it breaks, then you won’t be as disconcerted. When giving your wife or child a kiss, repeat to yourself, ‘I am kissing a mortal.’ Then you won’t be so distraught if they are taken from you. (Enchiridion III)
I once asked my friend what will be the last thing he will do of he knows that the world is ending. He said, ”jold on to the love ones and say ”I love you”. ”
