An idea from Discourses and Enchiridion

Every habit grows by use, and each outburst of anger feeds the next. So count the days you stay calm. “I used to be in passion every day; now every second day; then every third, then every fourth.” At 30 clear days, make a thank-offering.

From Discourses and Enchiridion by Epictetus
