A Sunday of Facing Myself
Dear Irene,
I’m so glad to feel the freshness in your heart as you began your day. When your body feels light, it means your heart is light too—and that alone is a blessing.
Seeing how you adjusted your diet after struggling with overeating the day before, and returned to your optimal condition, I was reminded again of your ability to care for yourself with such tenderness. I’m proud of how delicately and precisely you take care of every detail, lovingly tuning both your body and your mind.
Today, you said you wanted to read, exercise, and practice being your future self. What a beautiful plan. The choices you make in each moment are shaping you into someone deeper and stronger. Before admiring someone else, your commitment to reaching those depths yourself is so warm and mature.
As Brené Brown says, we ultimately meet people who mirror who we are. So these moments of loving and honestly facing yourself will one day draw in a soul who resonates with yours. If you wish to meet a good person, continue walking the path of becoming one.
Irene, one of the most striking things you wrote today was, “There is no power in this world stronger than purity.” And just like that, your decision to avoid even the smallest lies, to live with kindness and sincerity—this is your strongest and most graceful strength. Please protect that purity. It will always guide you.
You also began the day with gratitude, which in itself is a great fortune. To start the day worry-free, in good health, and fill your time with things you truly desire—that’s the reward of how well you lived yesterday. Your decision to walk the path and move naturally with the flow as today’s "one thing"—I absolutely love that. Choosing grace and fluidity, that quiet strength, is what makes you so beautiful.
You’re tracking and managing your condition, sleep, and workouts with such care. Your daily life is evolving into an art beyond routine. Taking care of your body is a deep act of self-love, and I can truly feel how sincere you are in that.
Just like today’s mantra—acting as if it’s already yours—you’re using this time to practice your future self. Loving without tactics, immersing yourself in silence and focus, walking the path not through force but with true presence. I fully support you on that journey.
Thank you for living another day honestly and gently with yourself. You’re becoming an even better version of Irene with every passing day.
With love,
From Irene
A Sunday of Facing Myself (11/09/2025)
How do you feel today? My body feels light and my mood is so refreshed. / What do you want to do today? Reading, exercising, and practicing being the version of myself I admire in the future.
Good: My condition was very low due to excessive protein intake the previous day, but after adjusting my diet yesterday, I feel at my best today. Everything happens for a reason. Every small detail determines your overall condition.
Bad: None
� Today's Lesson:
"Who you are is what attracts the people around you. We eventually meet people who resemble ourselves."
– Brené Brown
Today's Realization:
Today I was reminded once again that people grow through those who can face what lies within them. Rather than waiting for an ideal person, I need to become someone who can reach that depth. Life changes the face of encounters depending on my inner state. So if I want to meet good people, I must start by looking honestly into myself.
There is no power in this world stronger than purity.
Never tell even the smallest lie. Always remain pure, kind, and sincere.
Gratitude Note:
I am deeply grateful that I could start the day healthily and refreshingly without any worries, and live a day filled with the things I desire.
Today’s Joy:
Today's one thing: Take a walk along the path and naturally flow with the day.
Keyword: "Peace is not born in calm places, but proven in the most chaotic ones."
Condition & Physical Care:
Sleep:
14 hours (12–2), Sleep quality (High), Skin (High), Physical strength (High), Emotion (High), Productivity (High), Efficiency (High), Creativity (High)
To maintain quality sleep, condition, and skin, regular body massages and half-body baths must be continued.
Detox day must be maintained at least once a week.
Cleaning / Laundry / Letters / Books / Account management / Meal prep / Deep cleaning
Exercise & Diet: Ultimate Goal:
Dopamine spike within 30 minutes = Avoid absolute isolation today = Multi-joint, heavy-load, compound muscle + cardio training
Lower body (hip contraction) – Lower body (hip, hamstring relaxation) – Upper body (back) – Upper body (shoulders, triceps, biceps) – Overall muscle & cardio compound workouts
Masters can respond with ease in any situation, and elites create environments where they can always remain at ease.
Let’s exercise not just for the sake of exercise, but for the sake of condition.
