Stoic Mindfulness
Stoic mindfulness is sometimes grounded in this Greek term, Prusoke, which can be translated as attention. Epictetus has a section or a chapter entitled on attention. There's an interesting debate about whether Prusoke is technical in the same sense that some other terms like pro-hiresis or ochiosis are these fundamental technical terms for stoics. But what I am convinced of is that nonetheless, this general idea of attention, mental vigilance is something you see again and again in the stoics.
