NEW ERA - THE PROGRAM

The Tiian program consists of 7 preparatory steps, every element of which you must complete. I'd re-emphasize this, so that no one with a dissonant brain accidentally skips it. 7 preparatory steps, every element of which you MUST complete. At this point, and for the mathematical example at the beginning of the post to make sense, I would re-quote Bártffayné's words. Mathematics is a system where everything is interconnected, and the system is built upon itself. A system that cannot be evaded, bypassed, outsmarted, or skimped on. 

Bátorffy Józsefné, my math teacher at Kölcsey, once told me, "Tamás, you can't get through arithmetic with mischief and creative solutions. Tamás. Either you learn the basics, or we shouldn't bother each other anymore."

Bátorffy was a legendary teacher who either gave you a 2.0 or failed you without a word. 1.95 is not two. "Mathematical basics," she'd say, and she'd end my evaluation with a "see you in August." I liked Bátorffy; she'd smile kindly and fail me outright, and I didn't even go to the retake exam because I didn't see the point. I did some mental math and concluded that I'd rather repeat the year than put any pressure on myself during the summer. 

With this, one of the most outstanding success stories of my life, I wanted to illustrate the foundations of the Tiian program, because just like in mathematics, in a lifestyle-changing system, mastering the basics is indispensable; without them, everyone will fail. "It's all in your head," they say, and how right those cliché-spouting unfortunates are, but willpower alone is quite ridiculous if it's not coupled with knowledge and the integration of proper information. It would be easier for me to say, "Hi everyone, I hope you missed me! If anyone gained weight during my 2-year hiatus, no problem, Dad's back again! Here's the diet, here's the workout plan, order this package, and our next big weight loss jamboree can begin!" This would be an understandable and, most importantly, universally comprehensible message. We did it many times in the past, it was great, it was successful, many people lost weight, and I loved that period, but I also loved my 20s, yet now, over 35, I would say my life is more meaningful and deeper. This is also true for Tiian. We will have another big common program and inhuman changes, but this time we will go deeper and it will be much more meaningful. Before we start anything, we will first have some work to do to strengthen our psyche. It will be a completely different quality to stand at the starting line after taking the time for mental preparation than if, two days before the start, Milka was still writing you a thank-you letter for your years of loyalty. 

The Tiian program will consist of 7 preparatory steps, and you must complete every element of it. I'd write this down again, lest someone's dissonant brain accidentally skips it. 7 preparatory steps, and you MUST complete every element of it. At this point, and for the mathematical example at the beginning of the post to make sense, I would again quote the words of Bártfainé: mathematics is a system where everything is interconnected, and the system is built upon itself, which cannot be circumvented, avoided, outsmarted, or skimped on. We've seen where cleverness leads. Where can you get with instant methods, effortless workouts, and diet recipes promised with cakes? I talked a lot about this in the past, maybe I won't start again now, but it would be really great if everyone understood that with Tiian, the goal is mental strengthening, and weight loss is merely an incidental occurrence, not the be-all and end-all itself. It's like mothers lifting their children until they're about 4-5 years old, and then suddenly they realize they've gained so much arm strength that they can carry out a sideboard by themselves. This wasn't the goal, but it became an incidental result. With the Tiian program, weight loss is just an incidental result.

The 7 steps of the Tiian program

Tidying Up

We touched on this point before, and although we only got as far as touching it, even that was enough to initiate incredible development in some people. I remember when I managed to convince my childhood friend Ákos to finally clean up his room and arrange it so that anyone entering wouldn't see that a 26-year-old teaching assistant lives there, while falling over Dr. Sztanó Imre's book on accounting basics. Old clothes are not needed, unused items are even less needed, and memories that give nothing can safely go. This tidying up will have different depths, because we're talking about women, and even getting them to throw out the thousands of bags in the pantry will take considerable effort from me, but I said it wouldn't be easy. Learning to let go will be the greatest significance of this point. 

Sleep Quality

What do you think is the most common cause of death for people who deprive themselves of sleep? Blood poisoning. Yes, I thought it was heart attack too, but no, it's blood poisoning. The reason for this is that lack of sleep increases intestinal permeability. There is a vast body of literature on sleep; I don't think enough can be said about it, and what can and should be talked about a lot, those who think in terms of long life should integrate it into their lives. But long life isn't everything, because what's the point of a long life that's also at least miserable? A giraffe also gets along fine with its long neck, but I wouldn't want to be in its place when it has to vomit. A Long Life lived in poor quality is like that. The Tiian sleep quality improvement program will consist of 8 steps. There will be some compromise here, because those with children tend to pull legendary all-nighters, but we will try to get the most out of everyone within the framework.   

Breathing Techniques

Mastering correct breathing techniques will make you feel most in control of your life. It will be a special feeling when you first calm yourself down solely with the help of breathing. It's astonishing what breathing is capable of, whether it's stress management, sustained concentration, or shorter focusing, not to mention sex. Controlled breathing is an important part of the Tiian program. I could write that everywhere, actually. 

Cold Therapy

I remember when a girl named Mónika took my virginity at 16. It was a very strange feeling, and I still vividly remember that memory to this day. Well, cold therapy is like that too, just in damn cold water. You'll always remember your first time. It's a strange new experience, but you feel that what's happening is the beginning of something very good, and later it will go significantly better than this. For this too, you need a good partner who doesn't discourage you from the whole thing, but gradually pays attention to you and introduces you to where miracles happen. That will be me for you with the cold therapy program. 

Psyche

This is where we will spend the longest time, and where most people will drop out. Facing ourselves and telling the people who influence our lives "no" or "enough" is one of the hardest things, and if only that were all there was to it. We will go through this point in a big, month-long journey, spanning over 117 posts. This program will be my definitive life's work, and this part, the psyche, will be by far the most crucial point in it.

I want to warn you in advance that it won't be easy, so a network of psychologists accessible to everyone will also be available to support the program. 

Workout

This is the easiest part of the program, because the physical strain pales ridiculously in comparison to the psychological strain. And if the psyche gets stronger, you'll see how insignificant the physical becomes. We don't age because our bodies grow old. We age when our spirit does too. Expect an effective workout program.

Nutrition

The clear goal of the program is Long Life, and if we live long, we should do so as healthily as possible. The last third of our lives is not what we see day in and day out. It's not a pillbox, or "give up your seat, young man, don't you see I'm old" crap. With this program, Tiian not only lays the foundation for a short-term period of your life, but also offers a healthy mental and organizational level for a lifetime. The Tiian diet was inspired by the blue zones of the world. There are 5 blue zones on our planet where people live the longest and healthiest lives: Ikaria, Okinawa, Ogliastra, Loma Linda, and the Nicoya Peninsula. The Tiian diet incorporates the foods of the blue zones, combined into a single diet. Tiian's color scheme was also chosen because of the blue zones.  

As you can see, I wouldn't have come back if I couldn't present such a well-thought-out, systemic program. Perhaps now you understand why I wrote "life-changing," because this program doesn't change a lifestyle, but a life. Exactly as it changed mine.

We're going to have a great future, you'll see.
