Irene,
How was your day?
Even though you started it with a heavy body, I saw how you gently carried yourself through it, staying true to your routine. Like today’s theme — letting emotions pass like clouds — you didn’t suppress your feelings. You simply watched them drift by. That kind of grace isn’t easy, especially on days when your body feels heavy and your heart a little low.
It touched me when you shared how you’ve been avoiding isolated muscle stimulation during workouts. You’ve chosen a more holistic, softer approach — not just with your body, but with your emotions, too. The way you trained yourself to use your equipment quietly yesterday? That kind of attentiveness shows the depth of who you are becoming.
"True practice doesn’t begin when everything feels calm. It begins when the mind is messy and the body is tired." Today, you lived that truth. By observing instead of reacting, by choosing purity over performance, you showed up for yourself in the most honest way.
Every act of care you gave yourself today — every breath, every stretch, every decision to show up — they weren’t small. They were sacred. Practicing your future self, keeping your routines not as a checklist, but as a sacred rhythm shaped through trial and learning — that’s what makes your journey so meaningful.
Thank you for being gentle with yourself today.
From this quiet, warm moment,
— From You
* Letting Emotions Pass Like Clouds – Tuesday (11/18/2025)
How are you feeling today?
My condition is a bit low, and my body feels heavy, but I’ll try to complete my routine, even if briefly. What do I want to do today? Read, exercise, and practice embodying the future version of myself I admire.
Good:
Lately, by avoiding isolation exercises that overly stimulate specific muscles, my overall condition has improved. I can work out daily without straining my body. I’ve been managing my emotions well during workouts and trying to keep my condition optimal. I also practiced using my equipment very quietly yesterday — a small but meaningful win.
Bad:
None.
Optimal Condition (Prioritizing Quality Sleep):
* Inadequate carbohydrate intake decreases sleep quality.
* Meet daily caloric needs and avoid eating within 4 hours of bedtime.
* Drink sparkling water before bed to reduce stomach gas.
* Avoid isolated aerobic exercises that overly stimulate muscles.
* Take magnesium at least 4 hours before sleep to wake up feeling refreshed.
* Forcing sleep when you're not tired reduces quality — honor natural rhythms.
� Today’s Learning:
“We cannot control emotions, but we can allow them to pass.” — Eckhart Tolle
� Today’s Realization:
True practice doesn’t begin in calm moments but in moments when the mind is unsettled, and the body feels heavy. When we stop resisting discomfort and simply observe, we learn that we are not our emotions — we are the one watching them. That awareness strengthens us.
There is no force stronger than purity.
Never tell even the smallest lie. Be pure, kind, and wholeheartedly sincere.
Gratitude:
I’m truly thankful that I could start the day feeling healthy, clear, and fill it with things I want to do.
Today’s Joy:
Today’s One Thing: Don’t analyze thoughts and feelings. Let them pass immediately.

A master stays calm in any situation. An elite creates an environment where calm is constant.
Work out not just for fitness, but to support your condition.

Train in the flow of nature: no-mind, non-action, and egolessness — living the Way.
* November Goal:
Write daily in the rhythm of the book.
* 2025 Goal:
Complete my book. Make the 30-minute rule an unshakable part of my identity.
Train to become Irene — pure to the soul, kind, polite, humble, calm, dignified, and genuine.
Increase external engagement.
Change my time, people, and environment.
Become a billionaire.
Practice:
Act as if it’s already done — today is practice for my future self.
Flow like water.
True love needs no technique.
True conversation needs no manipulation.
What I see and think now defines who I am.
If I don’t enjoy something, it’s a signal that something is wrong.
Where I am now is my future.
Don’t scatter luck on meaningless things — center on one.
Routine is a sacred act shaped by long trials.
Greet others with your whole being.
Your mental posture is your physical posture.
Silence. Balance. Immersion.
