Peaceful Saturday

Aug 17. 2025

Irene,

How was your day? "A Saturday that found its peace again" — even just those words bring a little comfort. I love that you felt peaceful as you returned to your routine. Today must’ve been a reminder of how deeply rooted your long-kept habits have become.

That routine has helped you grow so much, and it’s what allowed for today’s calm. How reassuring it must’ve felt to realize that this truly is the life that feels most like *you*. And even within that calm, the way you honestly reflected on missing the 30-minute rule — that took real courage.

You postponed your hospital appointment again, but you turned even that moment into a lesson. That’s so admirable. I hope your commitment to honoring the 30-minute principle becomes even more steadfast. In the end, it's a promise to yourself.

Today’s learning moment was such a beautiful one. Like Carl Jung said — we’re constantly encouraged to look outward, but true awakening comes when we look within. You’re walking that inward path so bravely and quietly. You know better than anyone: solitude isn’t escape — it’s courage.

You’ve asked yourself before, “Is this quiet life really the right one?” But now you know — those serene mornings, your little rituals, and the letters you write to yourself... they’re what make the essence of Irene shine. You don’t need to speak loudly; your sincerity is already reaching far.

Thank you for waking up healthy today and choosing to live the life you want. Your heart, full of purity, honesty, and goodness, is truly beautiful. Never forget: the strength to live without even the smallest lie is one of the greatest powers in this world.

Printing your letter — that was a perfect choice for today’s "one thing." You know, right? That this day and this record are all part of rehearsing for your future self.

The time you honor will become life’s greatest teacher. Everything eventually finds its answer with time — but you already know the key is to wait with patience.

You slept for 9 hours, and your skin, energy, emotions — everything was in top condition. And to keep that up, you’ve made warm baths, massages, and exercise part of your routine. That shows how deeply you love your life. Multi-joint workouts to avoid isolation, mindful dopamine management — all these details are shaping you into someone even stronger.

Every phrase from your training journal feels like a compass guiding your day. Remember: "The place you are now is your future." You’re doing so well, right here, right now, Irene.

Slowly, gently, steadily.

With love,

From Irene, to Irene

Peaceful Saturday (08/16/2025)

How are you feeling today? I feel calm again after restarting my routine. / What do you want to do today? Read, exercise, and practice becoming the future version of myself I admire.

Good: I realized how much the routine I've kept for years has helped me grow and how it has brought peace to my life. It truly is the optimal path for me.

Bad: I canceled my hospital appointment again. It’s because I didn’t follow the 30-minute rule. If I don’t uphold the rule I set, it loses all meaning. I must admit that without honoring it, I won’t grow anymore—I’ll just stay stagnant. From now on, whether it’s school, an appointment, or a conversation, the 30-minute rule must be absolutely followed.

� Today’s Lesson:

Carl Jung once said:

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."

The world constantly tells us to look outward—for validation, meaning, happiness. But Jung reminds us that the answers lie within. Reflection, stillness, and time alone are not acts of avoidance but courageous steps toward the true self.

✨ Today’s Realization:

There was a time I questioned whether this quiet life I built was truly right, or whether I had isolated myself too much. But now I know—this routine is not a wall between me and the world, but a bridge that leads me back to myself.

Each quiet morning, small ritual, and line I write to myself is a declaration of my value. Life isn't about speaking louder, but about harmonizing with the truth already alive inside me.

There is no greater strength in this world than purity.

Never tell even the smallest lie. Always live with sincerity, kindness, and goodness.

Gratitude Note:

I’m truly thankful that I could start today with no worries, feeling healthy and refreshed, and fill it with the things I wanted to do.

Today’s Joy:

Today’s One Thing: Print a letter

Keyword: Time may be the greatest teacher in life. Everything finds an answer with time—but the important thing is learning how to wait.

Condition & Wellness Management:

Sleep:

9 hours (9–6) — Quality: Excellent

Skin: Good / Energy: Good / Mood: Good / Productivity: Good / Efficiency: Good / Creativity: Good

To maintain quality sleep, energy, and skin condition, I must continue body massage and warm baths regularly.

Have a detox day at least once a week.

To-do: Cleaning / 2x laundry / assignments / reading / resonance letter / scrub / print / meal prepping

Exercise & Diet:

Ultimate Goal: 30-minute sessions = dopamine spike. Don’t isolate today — focus on compound, heavy, joint-involving strength and cardio exercises.

Lower body (glute contraction) → Lower body (glute & hamstring release) → Upper body (back) → Upper body (shoulders, triceps, biceps) → Full-body compound + cardio

A true master stays calm in any situation. An elite creates an environment where calm is always possible.

Don’t work out for the sake of working out — work out to maintain condition.
