Does Abstinence Make You Feel Lighter? “Why do UFC fighters avoid sex before a fight?” “Does it really work?” “Isn't it just a rumor?” That's what I thought at first, too, but after learning that it's a pretty serious strategy...my perspective has completely changed. In fact, many UFC fighters maintain an abstinence routine for days or even weeks before a fight, sometimes for the entirety of training camp. And they say, “My mind is clear, my body feels strangely lighter.” It's not just how I feel. "My mind is clearer, my body feels strangely lighter," and it's not just a mood thing, it's really the CNS, the central nervous system itself, that's awakened...

When I open the NAVER app to search, the first thing I see before the search bar is the ‘Home Feed‘. I used to flip through it without thinking about it, but lately, I feel a little different. The home screen, which is mainly composed of videos, has a lot of short and stimulating content. I'm on a media detox, so I'm feeling more sensitive I've been practicing ‘golden egg' and 'media detox' lately, so I'm much more sensitive to small stimuli, especially today, when I took a break from exercising because I had a cold...

When we understand the true nature of kamma, we are already 95% successful in our kamma practice, but many people only see the surface aspects of stimulation and abstinence. It's important to understand the true nature of the practice so that you can practice it consistently and without wavering. To conclude, at the root of our sexual desire is a deep desire to feel our presence. There are many ways to feel our presence, whether it's sensually or intuitively through exercise, authentic connection with people, creative endeavors, or writing. We live...

I've gotten so much easier with cravings now.I used to get them a lot, but now I just recognize them when they come up and let them go. If you look at YouTube, there's a lot of sexualized content and ads, so I've put a ‘pause' on my history, and I only watch the genres I want to watch, and I watch them clean. It's really hard to watch pornography if you don't have a gold tube, because the stimulus keeps tempting you, especially in this day and age of AI, it's like a dopamine hack. It's all psychologically engineered: body language, posture, facial expressions, symmetry... Nowadays, when I see that stimulus... sometimes I feel drawn to it...

📖 Today I read a book with AI These days, I really cherish the time I spend reading alone, especially in a quiet space, with a book open under a warm light.I love that moment when it's just me and the book in my mind.

Yesterday, I suddenly had an idea: ’What if I read a book with an AI?“Nowadays, there are a lot of AIs that draw pictures, make videos,...

What Subconscious Cleansing Really Looks Like We often believe that “growth comes with pain”: that in order to grow, you have to have sore muscles, and in order to change your life, you have to go through pain.It feels ‘real“ because we've all been through a lot of pain. However, I'm standing in front of a different realization now... A few hours ago, I was struggling emotionally. My mood was sinking deeply, and a black mass of emotion was rising inside me. I felt suffocated, like I was trapped in a maze that I couldn't escape from no matter what I did. I used to think, "Oh, the pain is testing me again...
