Gracefully Wrapping Up on Sun
To. My dearest Irene
Today is a Sunday to gently wrap up the week.
You woke up feeling refreshed this morning, didn’t you?
But somehow, focus didn’t come as easily as you hoped.
Still, instead of forcing yourself, you chose to ease into the day with grace — and that was beautiful.
This new project may feel a little unfamiliar and nerve-racking,
but keep taking it slow and steady, just like you are now.
Even discomfort in the beginning is just part of what nurtures your growth.
You chose to do only light cardio today — good job.
Listening to your body and respecting its needs is such a powerful, gentle strength.
Today again, you reflected on yourself, tidied up your thoughts quietly,
and became a little stronger in the process.
It’s okay to move slowly.
Every single day you're building up will eventually help you shine brighter.
You did so well today, Irene.
I just want to give you a big hug. You were amazing.
With all my love,
From today’s me
Gracefully Wrapping Up the Week – Sunday (04/13/2025)
How are you feeling today?
I woke up feeling in top condition, but surprisingly my efficiency was lower than expected, so I’ve decided to end the day gently.
What do I want to do today?
Reading, working out, and practicing becoming the version of myself I admire in the future.
Good:
Since starting a new project lately, I feel a bit uneasy because everything’s unfamiliar, but I think I’m slowly and calmly finding my rhythm.
Bad:
I managed my time well during yesterday’s workout, but the intensity may have been too high. Today, I’ll strictly stick to cardio with the lightest weights.
� Today’s Learning:
“There’s a saying that a petty person is weak when poor, but becomes arrogant when wealthy.”
An ordinary person with a small capacity tends to become greedy once a bit of ease enters their life, eventually leading to poor decisions.
This has always stuck with me for some reason.
Looking back on my own life, I can deeply relate to the wisdom in these old sayings.
I find it even more profound and subtly humorous than the saying,
“A true gentleman never approaches dangerous places.”
— The Qualities of the First-Class, by Takashi Saito
✨ Today’s Realization:
They say that a true gentleman reveals their real character only when they reach the top, when they succeed.
The less trained one’s heart is, the easier it is to become arrogant in the face of success and abundance.
This reminds me once again how crucial it is to discipline and govern myself well.
Just like the saying, “A gentleman does not go near dangerous places,” I find myself reflecting on how important it is to protect my inner peace from videos, music, words, people, and environments that stir unnecessary emotions.
How carefully am I filtering what I allow into my life? I ask myself again today.
I must remember to keep my kitchen stocked so I don’t ruin my diet from lack of preparation.
In the morning, the most productive and efficient time of day, I need to be mindful not to disrupt my focus with unnecessary food or water intake.
There is no power in this world stronger than purity.
Never tell even the smallest lie. Always live with sincerity, goodness, and truth.
Tasks:
Supportive connections / calendar review / cleaning / laundry ×2 / finish assignments / sort finances / kitchen cleaning
Gratitude Note:
I’m truly grateful that I could start today feeling refreshed and healthy, with no worries, and fill it with everything I truly wanted to do.
Today’s Joy:
Today’s One Thing:
Training myself to fully believe: “It will absolutely happen! It must happen!”
Keywords:
Precise winding down = Quality sleep = Clear morning = Fully burned energy of body and mind = Smooth circulation throughout
→ If only the brain is tired or only the body is tired = energy imbalance
→ Lingering energy = Emotional instability
Condition & Physical Care
Sleep:
10 hours (from 5 to 3)
Sleep quality: High | Skin: Good | Stamina: High | Mood: Good | Productivity: High | Efficiency: High | Creativity: High
To maintain sleep quality, physical condition, and skin health, regular body massages and half-baths are essential.
Make sure to keep a detox day at least once a week.
Exercise & Diet
Ultimate Goal:
Finish within 30 minutes = Dopamine spike
→ Today, strictly no isolated exercises. Focus on compound movements with light weights and cardio.
Workout structure:
Lower body (glute contraction) → Lower body (glute & hamstring release) → Upper body (back) → Upper body (shoulders, triceps, biceps)
→ Overall muscular and cardio compound training
A true expert handles any situation with ease,
and an elite person creates an environment where they can always remain relaxed.
Let’s work out not for the sake of working out — but for maintaining our condition.

Weekly Goal: Spend Saturday at Four Seasons
April Goal: Spend at least one day a week at Four Seasons
2025 Goal:
Train myself to become a pure, kind, respectful, humble, calm, and graceful Irene with genuine heart and sincerity.
Increase outdoor activities / Change my time, environment, and relationships / Become a billionaire
Daily Practice:
Act as if I’ve already achieved it — today is time to rehearse my future self.
Flow like water.
The true art of love is to not use tricks.
The true art of conversation is to not use tricks.
What I see and think right now defines who I am at this very moment.
If I’m not enjoying it, it may be a sign that something is off.
The place I am in now is my future.
Don't let scattered activities divide my luck — focus on just one.
A routine is a sacred act of discovering optimal simplicity through years of trial and error.
Greet people with your whole body.
Your mindset is your posture.
Silence. Balance. Immersion.
