Calmly Starting on Monday
Calmly Starting the Week - Monday (03/10/2025)
How do you feel today?
I feel slightly heavy, but I will start the week feeling refreshed.
What do you want to do today?
Reading, exercising, and practicing becoming my future admired self.
Good:
You are maintaining a calm and composed attitude well. With training, you can continue to grow.
Bad:
Can you please use the gym equipment a little more quietly? Strangely, I become too aggressive when working out, as if another persona emerges.
Lesson of the Day:
"Every established state of mind is a habit acquired through constant repetition of thought. Cheerfulness and gloom, serenity and anger, generosity and greed—all these states of mind are habits formed by one's choices until they become second nature. Repeating certain thoughts eventually solidifies them into habitual ways of thinking, and these habits shape our lives."
— James Allen
Gratitude Note:
I am truly grateful that I can start the day feeling healthy and refreshed, without any worries, and that I can fill my day with things I truly desire.
Today's Joy:
One thing to do today: Start writing a new letter even if I don’t feel prepared.
Keywords:
Resilient Attitude = Repetitive Practice = Honesty = Mechanical Routine Execution = Practitioner = Self-imposed Rules = Integrity = Courtesy = Generosity = Daily Discipline
Today's Realization:
I don’t think my identity and selfhood are fully complete yet. Perhaps completion doesn’t even exist. The process of continuously refining myself until the very end is essential.
Most importantly, I believe it is crucial to cultivate a mindset that maintains fundamental courtesy and purity in any situation. Through repeated self-reflection, I must tend to the garden of my mind. The internal changes accumulated through this process will ultimately shape my identity.
People do not attract what they want—they attract who they truly are. If I desire a transformation in life, the most important process is to carefully refine and shape myself in the direction I aspire to be.

A true master remains composed in all situations, while an elite creates an environment that allows them to remain at ease.
Exercise should not be for the sake of exercise, but for optimizing condition.

Practice & Discipline:
"Act as if you have already achieved it—today is the time to practice becoming my future self."
Flow naturally like water.
The true art of love is not using techniques.
The true art of conversation is not using techniques.
The thoughts I hold and what I see right now determine who I am.
If I can’t enjoy something, it’s a sign that something is going wrong.
The place I am in now is my future.
Do not let my luck scatter on meaningless things—focus on one thing.
Routines are sacred acts perfected through long trials and errors to achieve the most efficient simplicity.
Greetings should be done with the entire body.
Mindset = Posture.
Silence, Moderation, Immersion.
