Basically there are seven points which we should focus on for physical and mental health – while all points are important, we do our selves great service by embracing number 6 (and 7).

1. Take Your Time

When you are doing something, be sure to take your time and to never rush things. It’s better to go at a pace that you are comfortable with.

2. Never Eat Too Much

Be sure to never over indulge yourself with food. When you begin to feel peckish then eat a little to restore your hunger to a satisfying state..

3. Control Your Anger

When you get angry be sure to have self control over this anger. This can ultimately damage your liver and intestines.

4. Pace Yourself

When you begin your work be sure to work for only 40 minutes and then stop yourself for 10 minutes. When you find yourself staring at something all the time every single day, it can damage your internal organs, your eyes, and your overall peace with the world around you.

5. Control Your Happiness

When you feel your happiness arise, be sure that you are able to control and manage that happiness. If you lose control of that happiness then you risk damaging your lung energy.

6. Mindless Chatter

Make sure that you are very limited in your speech. Most people decide either to talk or to do. It is always better to do instead of talk.

7. Don’t Overthink Things

Do not take time to overthink certain situations. Thinking requires energy. If you think too much, you can sap yourself almost entirely of all energy.
