mindset

In the last several months, my portfolio is up over 50%. I dropped my body fat to 20%. I walk 15,000 steps every day. I squat one and a half times my bodyweight… and I can do two pull-ups. I wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. — with energy. And I make one video every single day. But before this… I was just a stay-at-home mom who felt worthless in life. So how did I change so much? Because I discovered the real secret of productivity: Living in the Energy Economy. What the Energy Economy Really Is The Energy Economy is my framework for turning vitality into freedom, productivity, and meaning. Once you master energy, time and money fall into place automatically. Money and time...

I used to chase money. Then I tried to master time. But I only started truly thriving when I realized — neither mattered without energy. Because what’s the point of having time if you’re too tired to use it? Or money if you don’t have the energy to enjoy it? My Story First was the Money Economy I grew up poor, so money meant survival and security. I chased it, saved it, invested it. I reached $100K in my U.S. stock account, and I learned the truth: if you spend less than you earn and invest long term, wealth compounds. Money is important — but it’s not everything. Then came the Time Economy Once I felt I had enough, I started valuing my...

I Live in Paradox Opening Paradox is not a contradiction to be solved, but light and shadow to be held. Integrating both sides of paradox creates wholeness and alignment. Paradox awakens depth and reveals the hidden patterns of life. Embracing paradox turns life into art. 1. Body & Energy Sleep paradox: Everyone uses night time to seek a sense of freedom, but it drains them further away from it. I live the opposite — by sleeping early, I wake into true freedom. Weight training paradox: Training costs energy in the moment, but gives me endless energy afterward. Discipline paradox: Restriction (bedtime, diet, gym, avoidance, rejection) feels limiting, yet it unlocks freedom. Diet/Flavor paradox: A strict diet makes me taste the great flavor of ordinary food. Limitation awakens appreciation. Rest paradox:taking time to rest at any moment (without pushing myself) in...

7 Levels of Productivity In the past, I always admired people who could stay consistent. But now, I realize I’m getting better and better at it too. I used to fall into weeks — even months — of unproductive periods. For example, I didn’t write for almost half a year in 2024, when I was affected by the election. Now, I feel I no longer need willpower to push myself. Consistency is becoming natural. To explain, I’ll use two of my own habits — weight training (physical) and writing (mental) — to show how I’ve grown through the 7 Levels of Productivity I’ve discovered. 1. Task-level — Doing things right Focus: Checklists, efficiency, and consistency. Essence: Direct action + repetition. Struggle: The hardest part...

10 Things I Quit after 40 Turning 40 wasn’t just a number — it was a portal. I didn’t just age — I evolved. Here are 10 things I let go of — to rise, reclaim my power, and live on my terms. Job Don’t rent your time — own things that grow without you. One year ago, I thought I would become a developer. This March, I considered being an online tutor. But now, I’ve quit the search for a “job.” I quit the idea of trading time for money. I no longer want to be hired — I want to build. Now, I create— Blogs that share my voice. Videos...

Life Is Filled With Paradox What I’ve learned after 40: The truth lives in the tension between opposites. The deeper I walk on this path, the more I realize: Life doesn’t operate in straight lines — it flows in paradox. It’s not either/or — it’s both, woven together. And through my own experience, I’ve seen how truth often hides in contradiction. You Want Abundance? Give First. I began giving generously in May — money,encouragement, kindness, love. Since then, my stock portfolio started rising. Coincidence? Or energy flow? True abundance begins when you stop clutching and start contributing. You Pick the Shortcut, But It Takes You Longer I married a rich kid to take a shortcut — but eventually, the marriage became draining....

Why I Started a YouTube Channel at 40 Turning 40 didn’t feel like an end. It felt like a beginning. After a decade of being a full-time mom, I found myself craving something more—not from the world, but from within. What I seek is inner strength: persistence, a growth mindset, quiet peace, emotional awareness, independence of spirit, deep gratitude, unwavering trust, meaningful contribution, and a wholehearted love for life. “Conquering others shows power. Conquering yourself shows strength.” — Laozi That’s why I started a YouTube channel at 40. Not because I already had those qualities— But because I wanted to document the journey of pursuing them. To become a better version of myself. And...

I Quit Sugar for 3 Months — Then Had Two Pieces of Cake For the past three months, I completely cut out refined sugar. No cake. No cookies. No chocolate. No sweet drinks. No hidden sugars in snacks. Nothing. On my birthday, I had two pieces of cake. At first, I felt joy. But then something surprising happened: I felt drained, lazy, and foggy. 🍰 How I Felt After Eating Sugar Again 💤 I Felt Sluggish I usually wake up around 4:30 a.m. without an alarm. But the day after I ate sugar, I felt heavy and lazy. I didn’t get up until after 8:00. That’s when I realized how much my no-sugar routine had been helping me. 😶 I Lost My Motivation I love my morning wal...
