A Mon for Starting a Higher
Irene,
I'm truly proud of your decision to grow one step further today. It’s touching to hear that you're starting this Monday with peace and calm. You said you want to spend the day reading, working out, and practicing being the future version of yourself you admire. Imagining you living that kind of day feels so mature and beautiful.
Yesterday, you let go of the lingering traces of old habits and set a strategy for a new beginning. That was such a brave and wise choice. I'm proud of the way you move forward, one step at a time, and I want to cheer on the way you live with sincerity. You're doing an amazing job, Irene.
In today’s learning, Epictetus’s words—"The outer world is a reflection of our inner self"—resonated deeply with your realization. When you paused in front of a strange emotion, you realized it wasn't something from the outside, but something that bloomed from the garden of your heart that hadn’t been tended for a while. You reminded yourself once again that caring for your inner world isn’t a choice, but a responsibility. That mindset will continue to make your life clearer and more beautiful.
Your words of gratitude for simply starting the day healthy, full of energy, and doing the things you love show just how sincere and reverent your approach to life is. And today’s one thing—practicing “It’s okay this way or that way.” That mindset is the strongest force for building a flexible and resilient life.
Even your workouts aren’t just for physical strength, but a heartfelt routine for your overall condition. Just like how a master remains calm in all situations, and an elite builds an environment where that calm is possible—you are already centering yourself in your life. Your thoughtful routine will make you shine even more.
Irene, there’s already a philosophy of life in your everyday moments, and a beauty deeply connected to your inner world. Thank you for putting that into words. I hope today, too, you live with the same purity and sincerity in your heart.
Always by your side, believing in you and loving you.

A Monday for Starting a Higher Level of Training (07/07/2025)
How do you feel today? Calm and composed. / What do you want to do today? Reading, exercising, practicing becoming the future self I admire.

� Today's Learning:
"The outer world is a reflection of my inner self."
— Epictetus
✨ Today's Realization:
Today, I paused for a long while in front of a strange emotion. That feeling didn't come from the outside but from a garden in my heart that I had neglected for a long time. I realize again: when the inner world is scattered, life becomes blurry. Tending to the heart is not a choice but a responsibility. Today's lesson is simple: plant clearer thoughts. Carry kinder intentions. Life blooms from the flowers we nurture within.
There is no power in this world stronger than purity.
Never lie, even a little. Always remain pure, kind, and sincere.
Gratitude Note:
I am truly thankful that today, I could start my day healthily, with no worries, and fill it with the things I want to do.
Today's Joy:
Today's One Thing: Practice "It’s okay this way or that way."
Keywords: Life itself = born from the heart = direction of thoughts = power of life creation = better thoughts and actions = beauty and nobility of life = life truly flows from the heart = offer kindness where you can
Condition & Physical Management:
Sleep:
8 hours (5-1), Sleep quality (high), Skin (high), Physical condition (high), Emotions (high), Productivity (high), Efficiency (high), Creativity (high)
To maintain good sleep quality, condition, and skin, I must regularly continue body massages and half-baths.
Detox days must be maintained at least once a week.
Exercise & Diet: Ultimate Goal: Spike dopamine within 30 minutes = no isolation today = compound, heavy-weight compound muscle and cardio training
Lower body (glute contraction) – Lower body (glute, hamstring relaxation) – Upper body (back) – Upper body (shoulders, triceps, biceps) – Overall compound muscle & cardio workout
An expert handles any situation with composure, and an elite creates an environment where composure is possible.
Exercise not for the sake of exercise, but for overall condition.

True communication needs no tactics / What I see and think now determines who I am / If I can't enjoy it, it's a sign something is wrong / Where I am now is my future / Avoid dispersing my luck on trivial matters — focus on one thing only / Routine is a sacred act of finding optimal simplicity through long trial and error / Greet with the whole body / Mindset is posture / Silence, moderation, immersion
