Compliment Yourself on This Saturday (01/25/2025)

How do you feel today?

My body feels heavy, and my head is foggy, but I’ll try to go through my routine mechanically today.

What do you want to do today?

Read, exercise, practice becoming the future person I admire.

Good:

Yesterday, I felt great and was able to complete all the tasks I had been putting off. Well done!

Bad:

I think my condition was poor because I didn’t get enough magnesium yesterday and ate outside food. It made me realize how healthy homemade food can be. "You are what you eat."

Lesson:

We need to make beautiful choices. If we want to become beautiful, we must make beautiful choices. Also, if we pursue pleasure, that pleasure fades quickly, but the shame lingers. On the other hand, when we pursue virtue, the difficult tasks or self-discipline may end quickly, but the pride stays. Therefore, when considering the choices we need to make during the day, we should ask ourselves: Are we making the difficult, right, and beautiful choices? Am I making a beautiful choice right now? When we make beautiful choices, we become beautiful.

Gratitude Journal:

I am truly grateful for being able to start my day healthily and refreshingly, without worries, and live a day filled with the things I want to do.

Today’s Joy:

Today’s One Thing: Finish my routine mechanically and then rest.

Today’s 3 Words: Compliment, Silence, Moderation, Focus

Today’s Insight:

Before speaking, ask yourself: "Is it better not to say this?" The restraint and wisdom of silence are powerful. At a dinner table where everyone was talking, he just sat quietly. Eventually, someone asked, "Why aren’t you speaking? Are you foolish?" He replied, "If I were foolish, I wouldn’t have been able to stay silent this long." We need to understand that we must always be learning, reading, and absorbing knowledge. Listening teaches us much more than speaking. We often regret what we say, not what we don’t say. Therefore, it is important to put our ego aside, not try to prove how smart we are, not fill awkward silences, and focus on listening and understanding. By doing so, we can find something important every day. When we are always talking and producing noise, we miss all the lessons. Stoic philosophers emphasize cultivating humility and striving for openness and awareness. This is an essential part of Stoic philosophy.
