💭 Diary

Mature people tolerate delayed rewards and moderate immediate rewards.

Today, I thought, “I’m going to register at the boxing gym starting tomorrow and work hard to lose weight, so it’s okay…! Let’s eat until my stomach explodes!” I abandoned delayed rewards and frantically indulged only in immediate rewards.

Was the time spent today, filled with ‘cheap dopamine’ (immediate reward) through binge eating and YouTube, truly ‘rest’? no. That can’t be possible.
Once I calmed down and slowly looked back, I think I was more mentally exhausted and exhausted today.
I had a severe headache all day, and I felt tired all day, even though I was clearly resting.

No matter what I do, there are many cases where it becomes a problem because it is too extreme.
When I look back at the pattern of my life so far, I clearly lack maturity.
That’s why I couldn’t achieve anything. What happens if you push the hardware hard? The software is a mess.

So, as I realized two days ago, let’s stick to the basics, maintain a healthy routine, and learn how to rest properly within it.

Let us listen to the voice of our conscience and always ask the Lord in our hearts.

How to have a healthy mind/body in a healthy body/mind.
Let’s attend the gym/boxing gym every day starting tomorrow.

❤️ Thank you

• I am grateful to the pastors who made me realize again the love of the Lord, which can break all discrimination and prejudice and achieve harmony in the community.

✅ What Went Well (Keep)

• 💡 Self-reflection and deriving insights: I like that, looking back on my day, I deeply realized the danger of immediate rewards and the importance of delayed rewards.
• 🎯 Concrete action resolution: It is impressive that you set attendance at the boxing gym/gym as a specific goal rather than just simple reflection.
• 🙏 Faith and reflection: The attitude of looking back on one’s own choices and moving in a healthy direction by connecting them with faith stands out.

❌ What Was Missing (Problem)

• 📌 Lack of immediate action: I gained enlightenment, but I regret that my actions during the day were far from mature.
• 🔄 Failure to meet target indicators: There were some goals related to weight control and starting a business that were not achieved, so it seems necessary to manage them again.
• 📝 Lack of specific routine design: Rather than simply “attend the gym/boxing gym every day,” I think it would be better to organize a plan on how to exercise and continue the routine.

🔄 Things to Try (Try)

• 🗂 Organize your exercise routine: Let’s increase sustainability by organizing how to combine boxing and fitness, weekly goals, etc.
• 📑 Immediate Reward Moderation Experiment: During the day, whenever you feel tempted, try a small practice like ‘make a decision in 10 minutes’.
• 📖 Record a healthy routine: You will be motivated by simply recording your weight, exercise, and diet every day and checking for changes.

🏁 Conclusion

Today was a day when I realized again the danger of immediate rewards and the value of delayed rewards. 🎯 Let’s not end with simple reflection, but create real change through action starting tomorrow! 💪🔥
