Thank you for this article! I have been thinking for a long time to start reading about this philosophy that I discovered not that long ago after a TedEd video.
I was wondering is this something that you think about everyday or is this more of an exercise of the mind from time to time when you feel you're getting unsatisfied too fast?
Definitely from time to time. I believe Seneca advised that practicing negative visualization could be done "in bed, while waiting for sleep to come".
It would probably be, I think, a bit morbid to constantly think about the bad things that could happen. I like to compare it as a meditation exercise, once or twice a day, reflecting on what we have, making sure we don't take anything for granted, contemplating the bad things...
