Practice Negative Visualization

Stoic practice of imagining losing valued things to break hedonic adaptation and increase appreciation; examples included imagining losing success, being exiled, losing a partner, losing health, or not being able to walk. Use imagination to appreciate what you have, especially for things you cannot literally space out.
