##### 在Medium上寫作是我最充實卻輕鬆的時光 1. 回到過去每天發表一篇的節奏 2. 記錄問題,讓斯多葛解答 3. 只挑選一本新書學習 # 在Medium上寫作是我最充實卻輕鬆的時光 ## 慢性壓力下的自我覺察與生活重建 我覺得自己好像生病了。 不只是身體不舒服,還是一種不停的消磨、無力和疲備感。 我的工作是民宿打掃,三天客滿拼命清掃,然後又連續幾天雖然客人不多,但也沒有真正休息過。這種長期累積的壓力讓我覺得累,身體和心理都是。 我在想,有什麼辦法能幫我克服這種慢性壓力? ## 回想過去:寫作的療癒力量 我回憶起來,之前即使也在做類似的情況,卻不會覺得這麼累。 也許是那時候我還持續在寫作? 在 Medium 上寫文章的時候,雖然沒賺錢,但那段時間是我最充實、壓力最小的時光。即使每天都要發表一篇文章,那種壓力比現在的工作壓力還輕鬆。 > 寫作對我來說就像一個生活的錨點,給我方向和依靠。每次完成文章並發表,都有一點小小的成就感。 也許能治好我現在這種慢性壓力? ## 為什麼寫作讓我感到安定? 我也在想,為什麼當初寫作能讓我覺得舒適、覺得有生活目標? 現在我還是有寫作,但大多是寫在日記本上,主要是讀書心得。 差別在於,之前的寫作專注在斯多葛哲學,透過這個思想來解釋世界和建構生活方式。 而現在的讀書寫作範圍很廣,雖然知識增加了,但比較散亂,無法像以前那樣建立起完整的世界觀。 我覺得這就是兩種寫作的不同: 1. 斯多葛哲學的寫作,是用一種生活哲學來持續建構世界。 2. 現在的寫作,則是比較分散、缺乏一個中心思想。 ## 重建中心:以斯多葛哲學為軸心 所以未來我希望把大部份的心力放在斯多葛哲學,用它來解釋世界;再用一點點的精力去吸收其他思想。這樣能讓我的世界觀更穩固,生活目標更明確,壓力也會減輕。 > 我認為好處在於:用同一種思想框架持續加固自己的人生觀,能減少焦慮和空虛。 焦慮往往來自大腦對未來缺乏掌握,而如果有一套完整的世界觀,能讓大腦對現實的解釋變得穩定,就能帶來更深的安定感。 ## 未來方向:每天一篇斯多葛哲學 所以我的未來方向就是:以問題為導向,把生活中遇到的每個困難都用斯多葛哲學來解釋,再輔以其他書本的概念作補充。 > 每天至少寫一篇和斯多葛哲學相關的文章,持續透過寫作來加固這套世界觀,讓它成為我生活的支柱。 # Writing on Medium: My Most Fulfilling Yet Relaxing Time Writing on Medium Was My Most Fulfilling Yet Relaxing Time 1. Documenting Problems, Stoicism Provide the Answers 2. Returning to the Rhythm of Daily Publications 3. Choosing Only One New Book to Study ## Self-Awareness and Life Reconstruction Under Chronic Stress I feel like I’m sick. Not just physically uncomfortable, but a constant sense of being drained, powerless, and exhausted. My job is cleaning a guesthouse. I work intensively when it's fully booked for three days straight, then even on quieter days, I never really get to rest. This kind of long-term accumulated stress wears me out—both physically and mentally. I wonder if there’s a way to help me overcome this chronic stress? ## Looking Back: The Healing Power of Writing I recall that even when I was in similar situations before, I didn’t feel this exhausted. Maybe it’s because I was still writing back then? When I was writing on Medium, although I didn’t make money, that period was the most fulfilling and least stressful time of my life. Even though I published an article every day, that pressure was much easier than my current work stress. > Writing was like an anchor in life, giving me direction and support. Every time I completed and published an article, I felt a small sense of achievement. Maybe it can cure this chronic stress I’m experiencing now? ## Why Does Writing Make Me Feel Grounded? I also wonder why writing used to make me feel comfortable and gave me a sense of purpose in life? I still write now, but mostly in a journal, mainly book reflections. The difference is, my past writing focused on Stoic philosophy—using that framework to interpret the world and build a way of life. Now my reading and writing are broader. Although I’ve gained more knowledge, it’s scattered and lacks the cohesive worldview I once had. I think that’s the key difference between the two types of writing: 1. Writing about Stoic philosophy meant continuously constructing the world through a life philosophy. 2. My current writing is more scattered, lacking a central idea. ## Rebuilding a Core: Centered Around Stoic Philosophy So in the future, I want to focus most of my energy on Stoic philosophy—using it to interpret the world, and then supplementing it with bits of other ideas. This way, I can solidify my worldview, clarify my life goals, and ease my stress. > I think the benefit is: using a consistent philosophical framework to reinforce your worldview can reduce anxiety and feelings of emptiness. Anxiety often comes from the brain’s lack of control over the future. If you have a complete worldview that helps your brain interpret reality in a stable way, it can bring a deeper sense of calm. ## Future Plan: One Stoic Article a Day So my future direction is this: use a problem-oriented approach, applying Stoic philosophy to explain every difficulty I encounter in life, and use ideas from other books as supplements. > Write at least one Stoic-related article every day, and keep reinforcing this worldview through writing until it becomes the pillar of my life. # 發表歷程 #文章草稿 | 平台 | 網址 | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Facebook | | | Blogspot | | | 方格子 | | | Medium | https://medium.com/dictionary-of-stoic-philosophy/writing-on-medium-my-most-fulfilling-yet-relaxing-time-eac08137132b | | Threads | | | Youtube | | | Spotify | |
