-Today I chose to believe in what I feel.-

Good evening, dear readers.

Today was a beautiful day, and it still is.
This morning, after my run, I sat on a bench in the park — a place I’ve now chosen as my reflection spot.

Starting today, I decided to experiment with a practice I read about in the book The Law of Attraction. Every day, I’ll dedicate 15 minutes in a quiet place, with some gentle music in the background, and I’ll close my eyes. I’ll take time to reflect on myself, but the main goal is to give space to what the book calls the creative laboratory. That inner place where we connect with our true self and our personality.

During this time, I focus on visualizing and attracting everything I want in my life. I give my mind complete freedom to imagine and ask. The rest, I leave to my inner self.

Of course, this practice also requires commitment in the present moment. You can attract what you want if your thoughts are directed there — I truly believe that — but it also requires effort, dedication, and working on your own path. And still, I believe in it. I believe in the possibility of attracting what I want.

The most interesting thing that happened during this practice was noticing how my emotions spoke for me. When I visualized things I truly want to attract, I smiled naturally. When I tried to imagine things I don’t want in my life, I was immediately filled with sadness and melancholy.

So for 15 minutes, I focused only on what I want to attract — physically, emotionally, emotionally connected to others, and also professionally and athletically. When the practice ended and I opened my eyes, it felt beautiful. I felt a sense of lightness coming from inside me. I took a few deep breaths and started walking home.

The most beautiful moment was stopping to enjoy the sun. A ray of sunlight was passing between two trees, and I stood there smiling, letting it warm my face.

Throughout the day, I moved through my routine with calm and a smile. I ran mindfully. I truly enjoyed my run this morning. My only focus was listening to my body, regulating my breath, and being aware of my body in motion.

I’m loving running more and more. I’m developing a real obsession with this sport. It’s giving me so much, and I’m finally allowing myself to receive it fully.

After training, I decided to change my look, almost as if I wanted to remove a mask, a costume. I shaved my mustache, which I hadn’t touched since December 31st. It felt like an important step. The strangest part was when I picked up the scissors and started cutting my hair. I had never done anything like that before, but today I felt the need to let go of a small version of myself.

That simple act made the day feel even more meaningful, even though I didn’t do anything particularly demanding. I’m grateful for how I spent this day.

There’s only one thing I need to be honest with myself about. I spent some money on clothes. I know I could have avoided it, and sometimes I really need to stop buying clothing so impulsively. I know I have consumerist tendencies.

I truly want to become a less materialistic person and learn to use what I already have. I’m writing it here, clearly: starting from my next paycheck on January 27th, I will be responsible with my money. I’ll use it only to nourish myself and for things that are truly useful, not driven by consumerism.

I believe in this. I know I can do it. From now on, before buying anything, I’ll think about it for 24 hours. If I truly need it, I’ll buy it. Otherwise, I’ll be grateful to myself for not acting impulsively.

Matteo, I believe in you.

I want to end this day by saying that tonight, once again, I was able to remember part of my dream. Just fragments this time, scattered pieces. But I decided I’ll write down everything I remember, even if it’s only small fragments. I want to train myself to remember and hold onto what happens in my mind, to give space to my subconscious. I want to access that inner strength.

Have a good evening, dear readers.
See you tomorrow.
