A Saturday in Flow

by Irene

Irene,


Today was Saturday. You said that by not going against the current and instead moving gently with it, your mind became quiet and peace settled in. I thought it was beautiful how you described discovering what a true sense of calm feels like when you let go of pressure.


You spent your day reading, exercising, and practicing becoming the Irene you admire in the future. That realization—that life doesn’t fall apart just because you stop holding on tightly—was so mature and meaningful. And the fact that you’re learning that you’re enough just as you are, without rushing... that’s something to be proud of.


Please remember your promise to stay pure. To live with honesty, kindness, and sincerity, never telling even the smallest lie. It’s not easy, but your heart is already leaning in that direction—and that’s incredibly valuable.


I’m glad you filled your day with gratitude. Your words—“I’m truly thankful that I was able to start my day healthy, free of worry, and filled it with the things I wanted”—were so full of softness and self-acknowledgment. I wanted to hug that part of you.


Seeing you mark everything from your skin and emotions to your creativity as being in top condition tells me you really rested well. Eleven hours of sleep, a warm bath, and plans for a massage—your day was definitely about *restoration*.


And that exercise wasn’t for appearance, but for your condition—that really stood out. Your routine, which worked through hips, back, and shoulders, showed that you’re truly learning how to take care of yourself. Like the quote says: a master creates calm, and the elite live in calm. Irene, you’re becoming someone who practices calm in every way.


I loved that your One Thing today was the 100 Gratitude Challenge. And just like that quote—"Peace isn’t born in quiet places, it’s tested in the loudest ones"—your gratitude today is building strength in the noise.


Irene, you’re heading in such a beautiful direction. The way you’re training your identity to be grounded in sincerity, politeness, humility, and grace—that is your elegance. And a day like today, where you gently followed your flow and practiced loving yourself better, was truly well-lived.


I love you, Irene. I’m genuinely proud of you.


Let’s talk again tomorrow. �




A Saturday in Flow (11/01/2025)


How are you feeling today? By gently following the flow, I feel at ease. / What do you want to do today? Reading, exercising, and practicing becoming the future self I admire.


Good: Spending the day with the mindset that I don’t have to do anything out of pressure, I began to understand what true inner peace really feels like.


Bad: None.


� Today’s Learning:

“Following the flow is not giving up—it is trusting.”


Today’s Realization:

There is a kind of life that doesn’t fall apart just because you let go. That I can still exist fully as myself, even without rushing. Today, I wanted to believe that deeply.


There is no power in the world stronger than purity.

Never tell even the smallest lie. Always stay pure, kind, and wholehearted.


Gratitude Note:

I am deeply grateful that today, I could start the day healthy and refreshed, free from worries, and fill it with the things I truly desired.


Today’s Joy:

Today’s One Thing: 100 Gratitude Challenge

Practice:

Act as if it's already achieved — today is for rehearsing the future me / Flow like water / The true art of love is not to use techniques.

The true art of conversation is also not to use techniques / What I see and think now defines my present self / Not enjoying something is a sign something is wrong

Where I am now is where my future is / Don’t scatter my luck on meaningless things—focus on one / Routine is a sacred act of discovering optimal simplicity through long trial and error / Greetings should be made with the whole body / Posture of heart is posture of body / Silence, moderation, immersion
