Best Practices

Hello readers,

How goes it? It has been a busy past few weeks, and will be so for the next three weeks or so due to a case filing deadline. Yup, let's start off with a few life updates and then get down to business.

My roommate, Hao, just left for a job in Morgan Stanley Beijing today. Paul, him, and I had a wonderful goodbye dinner at Le Coucou last night. The food there was nothing short of amazing (definitely the best French food I've ever had) - fulfilled my dream to eat Chou Farci, and had a wonderful three-hour long dinner and conversation. My history with Hao is slightly convoluted, but I have always appreciated his presence and his chillness when he was around. He was also really kind and even invited me to stay over at his place before I became his roommate in New York. Anyways, he will be missed.

Anyways, this post is titled best practices because I wanted to keep an inventory on what best practices I follow daily. Maybe bullet points, if you're cool?

Positive Rituals (i.e. deliberately added):

• Six-phase meditation;
• Healing meditation;
• Gratitude - the Magic;
• Lifts and Gyms;
• Life planning (courses, Mindvalley quests, finance/net worth tracker);
• Learning;
• Bulletproof coffee.

Negative Rituals (i.e. deliberately left out):

• Sugar;
• Alcohol;
• Deep-fried food;
• Flour, white carbs;
• Women? Hmm still wavering on this

The other component to it would be sexual transmutation - which I guess is a combination of a positive ritual and negative ritual (Google for details). This is really both personal and powerful because I'm the kind of person who is intrinsically motivated by the opposite sex, and if I leverage this strong attraction properly it can become an otherworldly source of motivation to improve on myself.

How are the results? It's been really good! I feel that I am on average, happier and more energetic. I've been under some learning curves/growth periods so far, but I now trust that it is all meant to be and it's for the better as it is a result of my unconscious energy clearing. I am in a much, much better physical shape than as short as six months ago, and this obviously also feeds into my confidence, appreciation of life, and also social attraction. The healing meditation/course has also offered amazing benefits on energy and tapping intuition or wisdom, which I have somewhat utilized in the past but I know that I have that tool with me going forward.

It comes back to what is important for you. And the most important thing is to compare you against yourself in the past, not any others. For everyone is walking their own unique individual paths. I'd given it some thought too - improving your energy is probably the first and most important thing, because everything is energetic in nature. I'd venture to say that your fate or destiny or karma is energetic - the energy that is you or is within you defines your life. But hey, there's a feedback loop on this, because I'm quite certain that if one earnestly tries to think better thoughts, feel better feelings, and do good, the energy within can be vibrationally improved too. And as the energy improves, the life manifested improves - making a positive loop.

Now, because there is always room for improvement - I'd love to have more quantum jumps in my life, set deliberate goals to improve my social relationships and establish my clan (or tribe, as Vishen likes to put it), and put manga/games in my negative ritual. I'd also love to learn how to learn for pleasure. hehe.

Cheers,
