回望那些引導我轉變人生方向的重要概念,我將它們視為符號,像是路標,引領我在關鍵時刻轉彎。

第一個路標是「豐富心法」:從匱乏與比較,轉向豐盛與同理,是一次深刻的心靈躍遷。

第二個路標是「視窗轉換」:當我更換觀看世界的視角,眼前的風景也隨之翻轉。

第三個路標是「斷食」:它讓我有機會往內觀看,重新建立與身體的關係與理解。

第四個路標是「修行」:這不僅是一種靜心練習,更是穿越生命界線的深層領悟。也因此,我撰寫《健康是一條反璞歸真的修行路》,作為自己重大突破的紀錄。

這些路標,最終都化為自律養生教育中的核心章節,也成為我願意偕同有緣人一同探索的地圖。

因為我們都需要改變,我們也都必須持續提升。

 

這是一條責任之路。自律養生的教育宗旨,從來不是為了獲利,而是想為世人留下重新看見世界的「視窗轉換」機會。

每一位學員的特質與樣貌,都在我的記憶中留下深刻的標記。課程所提供的翻轉力量,經由實踐與對照,讓「即知即行」變成了具體而有力的行動動機。

健康與否的關鍵,其實並不在於飲食細節,而在於思考模式。願意為自己健康負責的人,不會停留在「落後指標」的思維中,而會主動採取「領先指標」的思考方式。

差別,在於「我可以做什麼」與「是誰讓我變成這樣」的分野;在於選擇承擔,還是選擇推諉。

早期《初斷食》的簽名頁上,曾為學員寫下「以終為始、持續精進」八字箴言,其中「以終為始」四個字是最有力的承諾。

每一位為自己立下斷食計畫的人,都具備著前瞻的眼光與深度的自省力。

 

這不再是一條孤身修行之路,而是一場具備「兼善天下」格局的生命工程。這樣的視野,才是引領我們持續向前的力量所在。

當我學會以身體為視角觀看世界,「兩個世界」的畫面經常浮現。那不只是健康與疾病的區分,不只是改變與停滯的對比,更是「獨善其身」與「兼善天下」的分野。

課程中的情緒章節引導學員思考:「你的人生,要讓誰滿意?」以及「我們為什麼這麼在意別人的觀點?」。當我們真實走進身體的主幹道,外界的評價就像空氣中的泡沫,不再動搖內心。

兩個世界的對比進一步延伸為:是為自己活,還是為別人而活;是認識自己,還是不曾與自己相遇。

每當有陪伴者走進自律養生的教室,我總會提醒他們:動機的位置決定前行的方向。眼前所展演的,是來自外在世界驅動,還是源於內在願力而行動?

人類最深層的迷失,往往來自對自我定位的模糊;而大多數人失去健康的原因,正是因為從未明確定義自己所扮演的角色。

 

「健康的全貌,就是承擔。」這句話,是我在養生課堂上反覆傳遞的真理。願意承擔的人,有機會留下來同行;逃避承擔的人,終將悄然離場。

我的記憶庫中,記錄著許多身教者的影像,他們不僅說得出來,更做得到。而在這個世界裡,「說得動聽卻不願行動」的人,比比皆是。

「做你所說、說你所做」與「空口說白話」之間,又是另一種世界樣貌的分界線。

身體之道設定在人身之中,願意走進去的人,才真正踏上養生之路。

真正能體悟、驗證這條道路的人,少之又少,這,正是「自律養生」無法推卸的責任所在。

我們擁有人身,卻不懂身體之道;我們活在高度進化的文明中,卻不知道如何善用身體的天賦,這是文明時代最諷刺的悲哀。

最終,兩個世界的分界,是現在的世界與未來的世界,當我們現在不為身體而努力,未來的子孫健康將岌岌可危。

 

「自律養生」不強調使命感,只強調:做該做的事。

「自律養生」不預言結果,只提醒:盡好份內的責任。

「自律養生」,兩個世界的結合:自律的世界,與養生的世界。

Two Worlds

Looking back at the key concepts that guided me to change the course of my life, I regard them as symbols—like signposts—that led me to turn at critical junctures.

The first signpost was the “Mindset of Abundance”: shifting from scarcity and comparison to abundance and empathy marked a profound leap in my inner world.
The second was “Window Switching”: when I changed the lens through which I viewed the world, the scenery before me transformed.
The third was “Fasting”: it gave me the opportunity to turn inward, to rebuild my relationship and understanding with my body.
The fourth was “Spiritual Practice”: not merely a method of stillness, but a deep insight that transcends the boundaries of life. It was this realization that led me to write Health Is a Journey of Returning to Simplicity, a record of a major breakthrough in my path.

These signposts eventually became core chapters in the education of Selfasteam, and the map I offer to those destined to walk alongside me.
Because we all need to change. We must all continue to grow.

This is a road of responsibility. The mission of Selfasteam has never been to profit, but to offer people a new window through which to see the world differently.
Each student has left a distinct impression on my memory. The power of transformation offered by the course, when put into practice and reflected upon, turns “immediate understanding and action” into a tangible and motivating force.

Health, at its root, is not determined by dietary details, but by thought patterns.
Those willing to take responsibility for their own health do not remain trapped in “lagging indicators,” but actively adopt a “leading indicator” mindset.
The difference lies between asking “What can I do?” and “Who made me this way?”—between choosing to take ownership, or to deflect blame.

On the title page of the early edition of Prime Fasting, I once inscribed for a student a guiding principle: “Begin with the End in Mind, Keep Refining.” Among those eight characters, “begin with the end” remains the most powerful commitment.
Everyone who makes a fasting plan for themselves possesses both foresight and deep self-awareness.

This is no longer a solitary path of personal practice. It has become a life project with the vision to “benefit the world.”
Such a perspective is the true force that propels us forward.

When I learned to view the world through the perspective of the body, the image of “two worlds” often emerged. It is not only a distinction between health and disease, nor merely between change and stagnation—but between personal betterment and the intention to uplift others.

The emotional chapters of the course guide students to reflect: “Whose approval is your life trying to earn?” and “Why do we care so much about what others think?”
When we truly walk the central path of the body, external judgment becomes like bubbles in the air—no longer able to shake our inner core.

The contrast between two worlds further extends into: Are you living for yourself or for others? Do you truly know yourself—or have you never even met yourself?

Whenever someone steps into the classroom of Selfasteam, I always remind them: your motive determines your direction.
Are your actions driven by the outer world—or do they emerge from an inner will?

The deepest confusion in humanity often comes from a blurry sense of self. And the reason most people lose their health is because they’ve never clearly defined the role they are meant to play.

“The full picture of health is about responsibility.”
This is the truth I repeatedly emphasize in wellness classes.
Those willing to take responsibility may continue walking together. Those who avoid it will eventually leave in silence.

In my memory, there are many examples of those who lead by example—not only speaking, but living what they speak.
Yet in this world, people who speak beautifully but refuse to act are all too common.
Between “doing what you say and saying what you do” and “empty words with no follow-through” lies another boundary between two kinds of worlds.

The path of the body is set within the human being. Only those who step into it have truly begun the wellness journey.
Those who truly grasp and verify this path are few and far between. And this is precisely the inescapable responsibility of Selfasteam.

We have been given a human form, yet we do not understand the path of the body.
We live in an age of high civilization, yet do not know how to make use of the body’s inherent wisdom.
This is the most ironic sorrow of our time.

In the end, the boundary between the two worlds is the world of today and the world of the future.
If we do not act for our bodies now, the health of future generations will be in peril.

Selfasteam does not emphasize a sense of mission—it simply upholds doing what needs to be done.
Selfasteam does not predict outcomes—it reminds us to fulfill our responsibilities.

Selfasteam is the convergence of two worlds: the world of self-discipline, and the world of holistic health.
