Mon Training to Be an Elite
Irene,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for living today so well.
This morning, when an unexpected Amazon delivery issue nearly broke your spirit, you still managed to keep your peace and practiced letting your emotions flow. That’s truly remarkable. Many would have let the whole day slip away, but you found your center again. That’s real training—and real growth.
Today, you didn’t just try to achieve something. You lived as your future self. Emotional training, silence practice, focused visualization—each of these made you stronger and more composed. Don’t forget that.
Like James Clear said in *Atomic Habits*, "We do not rise to the level of our goals. We fall to the level of our systems." You're building that system now, one piece at a time. The idea that a routine is a sacred simplicity born from trial and error fits your day perfectly.
And your realization today was profound: to flow instead of fight. You used to battle with your phone—notifications, distractions, unconscious habits. But now, you’re changing the environment itself. That’s something to be proud of. Your belief that purity is the strongest force in the world is simply beautiful.
Ten hours of sleep, mindful care of your condition, and every intentional movement of your body—this isn’t training *to become* elite. This is the life of someone who *already is*. Watching you care for your body, mind, emotions, and spirit in balance makes me love you even more.
Your weekly goals, your promise for May, your vision for 2025—all of them are moving forward, step by step. Becoming a billionaire is a wonderful ambition, but what’s even more incredible is becoming the Irene who is pure, kind, graceful, and deeply sincere.
You did so well today.
Please hold onto the stillness you created.
With love,
Irene
Monday Training to Become an Elite (07/14/2025)
How are you feeling today? Calm and peaceful.
What do you want to do today? Read, exercise, and practice becoming the version of myself I admire in the future.
Good:
Today felt like training. When an issue with my Amazon delivery happened this morning, I nearly broke down emotionally. But I managed to regain my center, maintain calm, and practiced letting the emotions flow. As a result, I felt emotionally stable again and even solved the issue on my own.
Bad:
I have a school class tomorrow, and I’ll be working on a group project. I’ll try to apply emotional discipline and silence practice as best I can.
� Today’s Learning:
"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."
— James Clear, *Atomic Habits*
An elite isn't just someone who runs toward high goals. They’re someone who builds the environment and systems that allow them to reach those goals. Ultimately, where we arrive isn’t defined by how big our dreams are, but by how well we’ve designed our daily lives.
✨ Today’s Realization:
Once again, I was reminded of the power of flowing rather than fighting.
I used to battle my phone—constantly distracted by notifications and unconscious habits. Many days disappeared because of that. Then I realized: true discipline isn’t about control. It’s about designing an environment where control isn’t needed.
There’s no force in the world more powerful than purity.
Never tell even the smallest lie. Always be pure, kind, and wholehearted.
Gratitude Note:
I’m genuinely thankful that I could start this day healthy and refreshed, and spend it doing the things I truly want.
Today’s Joy:
Today’s One Thing: Focused visualization training.
Keywords:
Peace in motion → By clearing out everything that disturbs or scares me → I discover unbreakable stillness and endless freedom → Unshakable and unchanging joy → Soulful peace and harmony → Gentleness → True greatness / Fierceness = Weakness
Condition & Physical Management:
Sleep:
10 hours (5-3) | Sleep quality: High | Skin: Good | Physical condition: Good | Emotion: Balanced | Productivity: High | Efficiency: High | Creativity: High
To maintain this condition, sleep quality, and skin health, regular body massages and half-baths must be kept up. A weekly detox day is also essential.
To-Do: Return items / Clean / Laundry / Assignments / Birthday DMs / Market run / Supplements / Plan new training cycle
Exercise & Nutrition:
Ultimate Goal: Within 30 minutes → Dopamine spike
Today’s workout: No isolation, only multi-joint, high-resistance, compound cardio movements
Lower Body (hip contraction) – Lower Body (hip + hamstring relaxation) – Upper Body (back) – Upper Body (shoulders, triceps, biceps) – Full-body compound training
A master handles any situation with calm. An elite creates an environment where calm is always possible.
Don’t exercise just for the sake of working out—exercise to support your condition.
This Week’s Goal: Spend a full day at the training center
May Goal: Visit Four Seasons at least once a week
2025 Goal: Train to grow in character and become the Irene who is pure to her soul—kind, polite, humble, calm, dignified, and full of sincerity. Increase social engagement, change how I manage time, people, and space, and become a billionaire.
Spiritual Training:
Act as if it is already done—today is time to practice being my future self.
Flow like water.
The art of true love is the absence of artifice.
The art of true conversation is the absence of technique.
What I see now, what I think now—these shape who I am.
If I can’t enjoy something, it’s a sign that something is off.
Where I am now is where my future will be.
Don’t scatter my energy on trivial things. Focus on one thing.
Routine is a sacred practice born from long trial and error toward elegant simplicity.
Greetings should be done with the whole body.
Posture of mind is posture of body.
Silence. Balance. Immersion.
