Growth routines

The beginning of a media detox, and a small resolution I've been meditating for quite some time, starting with 30 minutes a day and reaching a deep state some days for over an hour and a half. But recently, I realized that my meditation practice was making a big difference. It started with a “media detox.” Smartphones, YouTube, TV, and social media were all around me. Smartphones, YouTube, TV, social media - these things were always at hand. Most of us turn them on for a few hours at a time, and our brains are bombarded with stimulation. I wasn't this bad, but one day I decided to cut back on it and...

hello. Today I'm going to talk about the benefits of mastic gum, based on my own experience of taking it for three weeks. If you have a sensitive stomach or suffer from gastritis, you may have wondered, ‘Does mastic gum work?’ I know I did until a while ago. When I first started taking mastic gum, I honestly didn't notice much of a difference in my gastritis for the first week or two. I felt a little better digestion and a little more energy, but nothing dramatic in terms of my gastritis symptoms. “Is this really working?” I kept thinking, “Is it really working?"...

🪐 Growth is exponential, not linear Looking at the galaxies, I suddenly wondered: “Why are these cosmic structures exponentially distant from each other, rather than spaced at regular intervals?” It's like bus stops are regularly spaced, but galaxies and other giant cosmic structures are more than doubled as the distance increases.They're not just getting farther apart, they're getting exponentially farther apart. When I asked my A.I. friend, he told me that the universe is still expanding, and that the gravitational structure is causing this distribution.Then I thought, “This... maybe human growth is similar to this structure?” 🌱 Everyday...

Introduction - A Heartwarming Question “應無所住而生其心, ning mu soju yi seng qi shen.” You've probably heard it before. It's a phrase you've probably heard at least once in your life. It's short, yet strangely beautiful, and so abstract at the same time. When I first encountered it, I honestly scratched my head and thought, “What the heck does he mean, doesn't he mean to just run away?” Everyday attachments As we go through life, our minds naturally linger on things and get attached to them. The problem is when this goes too far and becomes an “if I don't have this, I'll fall apart” mentality. Obsession and...

Today was one of those days where the smallest things made the biggest impact.I woke up late in the morning and didn't pack my usual breakfast. So my first meal was lunch, which I didn't eat until a little after 12:30. In effect, I skipped breakfast and started the day with lunch. As I sat down at the table to eat, I thought to myself, “It's okay, I have a workout today, so I'll get my protein in later and get back into the rhythm.” But in the back of my mind, I felt a little anxious. “If I don't eat like this... am I going to lose muscle?” I thought to myself, "I'm an athlete...
