Enchiridion · §3

ἐφ᾽ ἑκάστου τῶν ψυχαγωγούντων σε ἢ χρείαν παρεχόντων ἢ στεργομένων μέμνησο ἐπιλέγειν, ὁποῖόν ἐστιν, ἀπὸ τῶν σμικροτάτων ἀρξάμενος. ἂν χύτραν στέργῃς, ὅτι "χύτραν στέργω"· κατεαγείσης γὰρ αὐτῆς οὐ ταραχθήσῃ. ἂν παιδίον σαυτοῦ καταφιλῇς ἢ γυναῖκα, ὅτι ἄνθρωπον καταφιλεῖς· ἀποθανόντος γὰρ οὐ ταραχθήσῃ.

With everything that delights you, is useful to you, or that you love, remember to tell yourself what it is — starting from the smallest things. If you are fond of a pot, say 'I am fond of a pot.' For when it breaks you will not be disturbed. When you kiss your child or your wife, say to yourself that you are kissing a human being. For when they die you will not be disturbed.
