A Tue of a New Life Chapter

by Irene


Irene,


Today was truly special, wasn’t it?


Thinking of you, filled with excitement as you step into a new connection, brings a smile to my face. From the very start of the day, when you answered, "I want to practice becoming the future me I admire," I was moved by the beauty of your intention.


You gave yourself grace by taking a rest from exercise yesterday, and with that restored energy, you completed your gratitude letters. That space allowed you to move more efficiently and peacefully today. I’m so proud of how you chose multi-joint exercises that respected your condition, and how you adjusted your diet for your skin by swapping chicken breast for eggs. Every act showed how deeply you care for your body.


Today’s lesson — “If you do nothing, nothing remains undone.” That piece of Taoist wisdom left a strong impression. Your reflection on how tightly held issues started to resolve the moment you let go… I nodded along, truly understanding.


Irene, through those experiences, you’ve grown stronger. Choosing not to force or control, but instead trusting the flow — and holding on to your purity — is what makes you shine. Your commitment to not tell even the smallest lie will set you free and make you resilient in ways you can’t imagine yet.


Your gratitude note today was deeply touching. "I’m grateful that I could start the day with no worries and live a day filled with what I truly want." The sincerity in those words proves that someone who appreciates the little things is bound to achieve something great.


Just like your "one thing" for the day — preparing calmly to welcome a new connection and destiny — I want to send you my love and encouragement. Even when faced with the same challenges, you chose growth over frustration. Your ability to seek the essence instead of just the surface will keep you grounded.


Seeing your record of good sleep, emotional balance, creativity, and productivity — it’s clear that you’re caring for yourself with intention and love. From body massages to detox rituals and supplements, you’re honoring your body as your home.


The phrases in your practice journal made today even more profound. "Act as if you already have it. Today is a rehearsal for the future me." That one especially resonated with you today, didn’t it?


Irene, you did really well today.


Let’s keep flowing, step by step, with a sincere heart toward the life you’re meant for. I love you.


— From me, always cheering for your heart




A Tuesday Filled with the Excitement of a New Chapter (05/27/2025)


How do you feel today? I feel excited to begin a new connection. / What do you want to do today? Read, exercise, and practice becoming the version of myself I admire.


Good: After taking a break from working out yesterday, I was able to recover my energy and make time for myself. I finished my gratitude letters and had a productive, efficient day.

Bad: During today’s workout, I avoided isolation exercises to protect my condition. I’ll also reduce my chicken breast intake and try eating one egg a day for my skin.


� Today’s Lesson:

"If one doesn’t act forcefully, there’s nothing that cannot be done."

Lao Tzu teaches that non-action, or the absence of force, allows everything to become possible. Today, I let go and felt the natural order of life carry me.


✨ Today’s Realization:

Today I had a sudden thought. For a long time, there were things I tried to sort out and fix, but they just wouldn’t budge. They always weighed heavily on my heart, and I worked hard to fix them. But over time, I realized that some things started to resolve on their own, without any effort. All the worries and confusion I carried seemed to untangle themselves, naturally, as if timed perfectly. I realized these issues were never meant to be solved through force. When the time is right, the flow appears, and everything aligns. Even all the scenarios I played out in my head turned out to be unnecessary. Everything just flowed when the moment came.


Life is truly mysterious. It’s like an invisible hand has already prepared everything, and I’m simply finding my place within it. I’m not making the path; the path is guiding me. The wise saying that everything unfolds when the time is right is not just comfort or resignation—it’s a truth I now genuinely understand.


There is no greater strength than purity.

I will never tell even the smallest lie and will always live with sincerity, goodness, and honesty.


Gratitude Note:

I am sincerely thankful that I could start the day healthy and refreshed, with no worries, and live a day filled with things I truly want.


Today’s Joy:

One thing: Calmly prepare myself to welcome a new connection and destiny.

Keywords: Same problem / frustration or growth = attitude toward the problem / wall or doorway closer to the essence = scratching the surface might look like a solution but results in repetition / if you approach the root of the problem = unshakable strength = the ability to see the essence


Condition & Physical Care:

Sleep:

7 hours (3–10AM). Sleep quality (Good), Skin (Good), Physical condition (Good), Mood (Good), Productivity (Good), Efficiency (Good), Creativity (Good).

To maintain good sleep quality, condition, and skin health, I need to keep up regular body massages and half-baths.

I will maintain a detox day at least once a week.

Tasks: Guides / Calendar / Cleaning / Laundry / Assignments / Bank / Daiso / Gas / Amazon Returns / Amazon Orders (5 items - Supplements)


Exercise & Diet:

Ultimate goal: Trigger dopamine spike within 30 minutes. No isolation exercises today — focus on compound movements and heavy weights.

Lower body (hip contraction) – Lower body (hip & hamstring stretch) – Upper body (back) – Upper body (shoulders, triceps, biceps) – Full-body compound strength + cardio

A master responds calmly in any situation. An elite builds an environment that allows calmness.

Exercise not for the sake of it, but to support my condition.

Practice:

Act as if it’s already done — today is a rehearsal for my future self.

Flow like water.

The true art of love is not using techniques.

The true art of conversation is not using techniques.

What I see and think now determines who I am now.

If I’m not enjoying something, it’s a sign something is off.

Where I am now is my future.

Don’t scatter my luck on meaningless tasks—focus on one thing.

Routine is a sacred act to find optimal simplicity through long trial and error.

Greet others with your whole being.

Posture of heart is posture of body.

Silence, balance, immersion.
