The Squid Game Slip-Up: Meditation vs. Distraction 🎮🧠

🧘 Day 20 – The Squid Game Confession & Meditation Wake-Up Call 🎮🧠

Hello world 🌍 this is Day 20 of my meditation journey.

First things first — I know it’s been 3 to 4 days since I last gave any updates here. I feel like I owe you an honest explanation for the silence.

And well… the truth might feel disappointing to some, but I want to stay true to the whole point of this journey — honesty, growth, and accountability. So here it is: I procrastinated.

Now, you might say — “Hey, that’s okay, everyone does it.” But for me, it was a red flag. I started this blog exactly to fight procrastination and build some structure in my life. And yet, I let myself slip. That stings.

So what happened? Let me tell you honestly — one of my hobbies is watching movies, series, or anime. And as some of you might know, Squid Game: The Challenge dropped on June 27, and man, I was super hyped for it. If you haven’t seen it yet — yep, I’m also being the devil’s advocate here — it’s binge-worthy on Netflix 😂.

But here's what that led to:

  • 1 day of excitement buildup 🎉

  • 2 full days of watching it nonstop 🍿

  • 2 more days of post-show zoning out 🌀

That’s nearly a week gone in the blink of an eye.

I lost my rhythm. And I’ll be honest — my meditation felt weak these days. The emotional rollercoaster of the series lingered in my mind and made it hard to sit still, to breathe, to center myself.

But even in this mess, I noticed something valuable: distractions are powerful, but sacrifices are essential if we want real growth. Think of monks — their entire lifestyle supports their meditation, not just the time they sit with closed eyes. That’s what leads to big inner breakthroughs — discipline and focus.

So I realized: If I really want to reach somewhere with this practice, I can’t just dip my toes in the water and expect ocean-deep results. I have to leave something behind to move ahead.

Yes, the end of this 30-day challenge is near. And though there were bumps in the road, the important thing is — I didn’t quit. I showed up again, and I’m owning up to my missteps.

Let this post be a reminder — to you and to myself — that progress isn’t perfect, and discipline means showing up, even after falling down.

Thanks for sticking with me. Let’s keep going 🙏
See you tomorrow. Peace out ✌️

My first Blog

🌍 Hello to the World – Day 1 This is my first blog post. I was thinking about what I should write, but then I remembered a quote: "Your first try will always be your worst." So I stopped letting negative thoughts and perfection hold me back. I focused on just one thing — creating this blog without hesitation . 🤔 Why Do I Want to Write a Blog? This question popped into my mind. And honestly, I had a pretty good answer. As human beings, we have the urge to make life an adventure — to live stories worth telling. And maybe, somewhere out there, a stranger will read our story and feel inspired. I want to experience that feeling — even just once. The best way to do that is to write it down and share it with the world . It’s like sailing on a journey for hidden treasure , writing about the challenges we face and letting others learn from them. From now on, I’ll be sharing my real journey with you — the experiments, the struggles, the new ideas — so maybe you can become bett...

Meditation Diaries: Did I Just Teleport? 😳

Day 13 of My Meditation Journey 🧘‍♂️ | Teleportation Vibes? 😳✨ Hello and welcome back to Day 13 of my meditation journey! 🌱 Today’s update is… wild . Not in the way you expect, but the kind of wild where you sit there after the session thinking — “What just happened to me?” Let me break it down for you 👇 The good news first — today I experienced something completely new again, and honestly, sometimes I just sit and think: what is going on? 😂 You know, before I started meditation, I used to think okay, maybe I’ll get peace of mind , maybe I’ll feel bliss , maybe I’ll suddenly become some monk-like enlightened human . Spoiler alert 🚨 — It’s not working like that… yet. This whole meditation thing has become like one giant experiment 🔬. And here’s the fun part: What you expect might not happen at all . What I’m learning is that this universe doesn’t run on your terms, darling . Whatever experiences we read or hear about — it’s not compulsory that the same thing will happen to...

Day - 2

  Day 2 — Neville Goddard 30-Day Practice 🌌 Hello and welcome to my world. It’s Day 2 of practicing the Neville Goddard method for 30 days. If I review today’s performance honestly — it didn’t go as planned. The main reason was timing. I practiced it right after my workout, and that was definitely not ideal. You might wonder, why? Well, the body was exhausted. Meditation might seem like rest, but from my experience, it actually requires energy — especially to maintain posture and stay present. If your posture isn’t stable, your meditation collapses. And since I’m using meditation to enter that deep sleep-like state for the Neville method, starting in a fatigued condition means the whole process struggles. That’s exactly what happened today. I couldn’t get into the state, and it felt frustrating — like a bad day. But even bad days come with lessons, right? And that’s what I’m taking from this one. In terms of progress, I’d rate today a 1 — and honestly, that’s still be...
