ARTHUR 1'23 #5 ~ Rosary Background

To improve my commitment on maintaining the Rosary Aura throughout the duties of every day, I have created mental visuals of imaginary countdowns and backgrounds to help me better monitor at which part of the rosary I am currently at.

This is because I have noticed that without something to focus onto or remind me, I usually carry on with the rosary on auto-pilot while doing stuff and I end up losing track where in the rosary I currently am, especially within the 10 Hail Mary's of each mystery.

And so I would like to share the rosary background I have devised, but please keep in my mind that these have no direct religious (or malicious) connotations (especially with dark & seemingly unholy themes) since it is purely a visual aesthetic on the back of my mind.

ARTHUR 1'23 #2 ~ Daily Highlights

As an improvement to my Daily Dashboard (private) posts outlining the quests status and task accomplishments at the end of each day, I have recently added "Highlights" in order to list down key things I am grateful for or important to note for reference from that day.

This also gives me perspective and appreciation for the day I had a lot more allowing me to reflect which provides a little bit of guidance on things I have done wrong or could do better; or affording me a warm bit of peace and comfort before I sleep knowing that I did something good or meaningful, which further inspires me to do more if blessed with another day.

ARTHUR 1'23 #3 ~ Rosary Aura

I've been replaying as a Holy Frost Paladin Zealot in Diablo II: Resurrected, rereading the Kimetsu no Yaiba manga, and watching Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku lately and I'm not sure if these may have played a part but a few days ago, I suddenly got a random inspiration (and visualization as Soshin looking, Gyomei chanting, Paladin with an aura) to start praying the rosary while doing chores/dishes instead of the usual Youtube or Spotify in the background.

P.S. Yes, I know it's not a Prayer Aura but the Sanctuary Aura effect looks hella cooler!

Another motivating factor may have also been when I started to finalize booking tickets for me, my wife, and my family to fly to New Zealand, and I kept hoping that the cheaper tickets at the ideal dates I previously found while searching would still be available by the time I got to it. It seemed pretty natural when I started and felt heart warming to be able to have a sustained and sincere connection to Papa God and Mama Mary while doing mundane things.

ARTHUR 1'23 #1 ~ Some Boy's Life Mods

Inspired (or more like addicted) to Project Zomboid's mods, I have patterned my life management aesthetic to having mods on the way I live my life. These mods are not necessarily critical to living life the same way the game mods aren't, but they vastly affect the quality and playability of the game, as with my life.

Here are my current Life Mods:

LIFE LAWS

mod used to list principles and laws to live by in life

LIFE GOALS

mod used to monitor and manage goals in life as: - Life Quests ~ singular goals with a set completion -- Operation ~ group of projects with a singular goal --- Projects ~ tasks contributing to an operation - Life Cycles ~ perpetual goals with a target parameter -- Programs ~ group of protocols for a specific parameter --- Protocols ~ guidelines contributing to a program

LIFE LINES

mod used to document different phases in life i.e. family chronicles, job history, life themes

LOCATIONS

mod used to code specific important locations i.e. past & current residences, work areas, key locations includes routes coded similar to high-way numbers

STUFF

mod used to list & detail things in life according to: - Ownership - Coding (Type) - Condition (and action, if needed) - Index (Classification) - Stock Level (for consumables)

RELATIONS

mod used to classify and prioritize relationships in life: - Agape ~ God - Pragma ~ wife - Storge ~ family & relatives - Philia ~ friends & acquaintances - Philautia ~ self

GIFTS

mod used to list gifts in life: - Blessings / Dooms ~ omniversal gifts directing the sync(hronicity) of the heart (/soul) to convergence or divergence - Graces / Banes ~ multiversal gifts identifying the state of mind (/spirit) as to good or bad -- Virtues / Vices ~ recurring state of mind --- Deeds / Sins ~ singular state of mind - Talents / Weakness ~ universal gifts that enable or disable the status of the form (/body) of a being
