The Lunar New Year has officially passed, so there aren\u2019t any more excuses to ignore the set of new year\u2019s resolutions you have come up with. As for me, I have been sticking to a one-hour home workout and stretch routine to stay healthy, both physically and mentally. I\u2019ve been a stickler to this routine for two months now, even on days I work overtime or grab a drink with a friend. As it turns out, strong mental health comes hand in hand with strong physical health. Not only is my body feeling lighter, but I\u2019m also feeling less stressed and worn out. <\/p>\n<p> I was debating what I should write about for this column, then I thought about the people around me who are sticklers to their rituals. So, here is a series of short interviews on what they are practicing, how they started their rituals, and what these rituals mean to each of them. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:540px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/74b02537-e234-4fa6-a040-9284a416d986.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"text-align:center;\">  <span class=\"fw600 italic black\">\u201cEver since I started recording, I began appreciating my life for being complete enough as it is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p> &#8211; L\u2019s transcription ritual <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> <span class=\"blue\">About my ritual |<\/span> I wake up every morning at five thirty, read a chapter from a book or watch a clip, and transcribe a sentence that I found meaningful or could relate to. I then write a short post on my blog. It\u2019s been exactly a month since I started doing this. <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">How I started |<\/span> There was this one sentence from the book \u201cWork Play Play Work\u201d that struck me in particular. \u201cLet\u2019s imagine there are two people who lived more or less the same lives. The life that is remembered is the life that is recorded. The one that isn\u2019t recorded is, well, forgotten.\u201d And I thought it would be unfair on my life\u2019s part to be forgotten. So, I decided to record the behind-the-scenes of it. <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">What it means |<\/span> Ever since I started recording, I began appreciating my life for being complete enough as it is. Spending more time for myself, constantly being inspired by what other people have said or written, changing myself, watching myself change\u2026 all of these things have made my life fuller. More than anything, seeing myself waking up early every morning to write a journal tells me that \u2018I have the power to change myself.\u2019 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:400px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/82b27227-914f-498e-90a0-da0a8b206ab4.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"text-align:center;\">  <span class=\"fw600 italic black\">\u201cI\u2019ve been keeping a journal for 10 years as a way to remember my day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p> &#8211; J1\u2019s journal keeping ritual <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> <span class=\"blue\">About my ritual |<\/span> I\u2019ve been keeping a journal for over 10 years now. To be honest, I don\u2019t write something every day. I also have a checklist of daily habits, which includes drinking water, cleaning, and reading one inspiring quote every day.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">How I started |<\/span> I started keeping a journal in high school as a way of keeping track of my study plan. It has become a habit since. Right now, it\u2019s a way for me to record my daily life, so that I live and remember each day more consciously, however identical they may be.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">What it means |<\/span> Reading my past journal entries reminds me of the emotions I felt then. It\u2019s a good way to reminisce and appreciate how far I\u2019ve come. It also gives me the motivation to go on. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"text-align:center;\">  <span class=\"fw600 italic black\">\u201cI write morning journals to add a sense of anticipation to my day-to-day life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p> &#8211; J2\u2019s journal keeping ritual <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> <span class=\"blue\">About my ritual |<\/span> I\u2019ve been keeping a morning journal every day for 7 months now. I wanted my journal entries to be different from the usual \u2018I did blah blah and blah blah. The end.\u2019 I wanted them to incorporate plans and anticipation.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">How I started |<\/span> One day, I realized I was waking up every day, getting ready just to go to work, more or less like a robot. It was as if the purpose of my entire existence was so that I could work. So, I decided to take a more active role in planning out my day-to-day life. I wanted a sense of anticipation before starting the day.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">What it means |<\/span>  I\u2019m the type that gives meaning to everything. This ritual is also a way for me to \u2018give meaning to life.\u2019 I write down things I look forward to in a day. It\u2019s actually quite fun coming home after work and reading about what worried or stressed me in the morning after it has all been taken care of. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"text-align:center;\">  <span class=\"fw600 italic black\">\u201cJust bringing my journal to places that stress me out calms me down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p> &#8211; S\u2019s journal keeping ritual <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> <span class=\"blue\">About my ritual |<\/span> I\u2019ve been keeping a journal since high school. I usually write something every night or whenever I have time (usually when I\u2019m bored or overly anxious). It has been almost 10 years. I also like transcribing sentences from books or jotting down notes.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">How I started |<\/span> This ritual started when I first began keeping a diary of my minute-by-minute study plan in high school. I would use it to check how I spent the day and write down my feelings. Since then, it has become a habit.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">What it means |<\/span> For me, keeping a journal gives me the opportunity to be completely honest with myself. I have the freedom to say whatever I want because there is no one to judge me. Sometimes, writing down my thoughts helps me realize the feelings I didn\u2019t even know I had. I bring my journal to places or occasions that stress me out, like a job interview, because just having it with me calms me down. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_box\">\n<div style=\"max-width:400px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/4033923a-561a-4243-8efd-1c2fba8174d7.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"text-align:center;\">  <span class=\"fw600 italic black\">\u201cRunning is a comforting way to relieve stress.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p> &#8211; K\u2019s running ritual <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> <span class=\"blue\">About my ritual |<\/span> I\u2019ve been running three or more times every week for three years now.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">How I started |<\/span> I suffered from a serious case of insomnia. I had been aware of it since I was twenty, but I didn\u2019t think much of it, believing it was because I was more sensitive than others. Then it came to a point where the lack of sleep and the stress from work became unbearable. So, I began trying different remedies, one of which was \u2018running.\u2019<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">What it means |<\/span> For me, running is a way to relieve stress. In the past, all I could do in times of stress was to endure it and wait for the time to pass. Now, on the other hand, I tell myself \u2018let\u2019s run and forget about it!\u2019 The fact that I have discovered this solution is comforting. Plus, running does actually help clear my head. After running, I often find myself thinking, \u2018there\u2019s no need to take this seriously. This too shall pass.\u2019 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\" style=\"text-align:center;\">  <span class=\"fw600 italic black\">\u201cRunning has led me on a journey of self-discovery and challenges me constantly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p> &#8211; L\u2019s running ritual <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> <span class=\"blue\">About my ritual |<\/span> I\u2019ve been running at least twice a week for almost six years now. Even when I was pregnant, I ran as soon as I entered the second trimester. When I\u2019m preparing for a full marathon, I usually run at least three times a week and at least 15km on weekends.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">How I started |<\/span> Initially, when I first started working out, all I would do was run on the treadmill at the gym. I was afraid of running outside at first. I tried to overcome the fear, and when I was able to run for 30 minutes without taking a break, I joined a Naver community for runners. Naturally, running became my hobby.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"blue\">What it means |<\/span> Running really helps me maintain good mental health, in addition to building my endurance. It\u2019s called \u2018dynamic meditation\u2019 for a reason; it helps relieve a lot of stress. Practicing for a full marathon has led me on a journey of self-discovery, and I really enjoy constantly challenging myself and reaching the milestones I\u2019ve set. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive_column_wrap\">\n<div class=\"responsive_txt\"> We constantly run into small and large obstacles throughout our lives. Some of them are little bumps on the road, whereas others make us fall quite hard. What gets us up on our feet is our \u2018willpower.\u2019 What the six ritualists have built are not just habits; consistently repeating certain actions leads to accumulated confidence and a sense of achievement, which become the pillars of our strength during tough times.<\/p>\n<p>  There is a famous saying that goes \u2018indomitable will power is what\u2019s important.\u2019 Put differently, it means that we face events that undermine our will power on a daily basis. To all of you having a tough day, I recommend finding a ritual of your own. It will help you build your own strong will power. It can be anything, it can be trivial, anything to help you hold on.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"fw600 italic black\">To another day of indomitable will power.<\/span><br \/> Thank you for reading the Ritual Column series<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/41d06aa0-bf93-4f60-8f92-1bcd2cf68d09.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is post 6 of 6 in the series &ldquo;Staff Column(Park Sehee)&rdquo; I am an adult, but I still need compliments Eating well to live well(One Meal Diary Ritual) Now, shall we move a bit? : The ritual of going out The power of scribbling daily : The ritual of writing one posting a day [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":14756,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"post_list_apon":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1252],"tags":[172,458,171],"post_series":[129],"class_list":["post-14754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trend","tag-columnist","tag-parksehee","tag-staffcolumn","post_series-129"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/contents\/7359eab6-1c1f-47f6-94c2-9bc978e8debe.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14754"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14754\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14755,"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14754\/revisions\/14755"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14754"},{"taxonomy":"post_series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_series?post=14754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
