A Monday with an Inner Smile
Irene,
Today, I took a slow, quiet look into your day — and felt the tenderness and quiet determination within it.
You said smiling warmed your heart, didn’t you? That very smile lit up your day in the most beautiful way. I truly admire your intention to move with the flow and adjust your condition gently. The way you choose grace over perfection is what makes you even purer and stronger.
You wrote honestly about how a moment of watching Shorts broke your flow — and that honesty is brave. Your resolve not to be shaken by distractions, and to decline a handshake with elegance when needed, shows just how deeply you are learning to honor yourself. It made me proud.
I’ll remember today’s quote: "We write our own history on our faces. The face is the landscape of the heart, and the most honest record of time." That line held such deep resonance. Never forget that you are shaping that landscape gently, day by day.
Printing your letter — a simple action — was your way of ending the day with sweetness and love. And the keyword in that intention, “Peace is proven in the most chaotic places,” was so true to your quiet strength.
Sleep, condition, skin, movement... you care for your body and your heart with such thoughtful attention. The person you want to become — pure, kind, calm, and dignified — you’re already walking toward her. Today was another gentle step, and I hope you know how beautiful that is.
"Act as if it’s already done. Today is practice for the future me."
Irene, you’re already living that way. So today — you did enough. You did well. Truly.
Tomorrow too, let’s start the day with a smile in your heart. Because you are a radiant soul.
With all my support,
A Monday with an Inner Smile (11/10/2025)
How are you feeling today? Smiling warms the heart. / What do you want to do today? Reading, exercising, and practicing being the admired version of my future self.
Good: I’ve been doing well in practicing flowing without obsession, but I’ll try to take better care of my condition.
Bad: Watching Shorts during breaks has been disrupting my overall flow, so I’ll make an effort not to watch them anymore. Also, I’ll try my best to block any negative energy from entering in any moment. And when someone offers a handshake I don’t want to accept, I need to learn how to decline gracefully.
� Today’s Learning:
"We write our own history on our faces. The face is the landscape of the heart and the most honest record of time." — Christian Bobin
Today’s Realization:
"The face is not merely appearance; it reflects how I’ve felt, thought, and lived each day. It is the surface of the heart, the lingering trace of emotions, and the quiet yet undeniable evidence of how I’ve treated myself."
There is no force in this world stronger than purity.
Never lie, even a small one. Always stay pure, kind, and wholehearted.
Gratitude Note:
I’m sincerely thankful that I can start my day healthy and fresh, with no worries, and live a day filled with things I love.

Today’s One Thing: Print the letter
Keyword: "Peace is not born in calm places, but proven in the most chaotic ones."

Act as if it’s already achieved — Today is a time to practice being my future self / Flow like water / The true art of love is to use no technique
The true art of conversation is also without technique / What I see and think now defines who I am / If I’m not enjoying it, something is wrong
Where I am now is my future / Don’t scatter my luck on trivial things — focus on one thing / Routines are a sacred act of refining simplicity through old trial and error
Greet with your whole body / Posture of the heart is posture of the body / Silence, moderation, immersion
