How often have you felt frustrated or even angry after a conversation with your boss or significant others? Perhaps you sat on the sidelines to make the referee unfair calls, or you listened to your child who talked about a teacher or coach in a less than favorable way. All these experiences – whether they happen to you directly or not – take a toll on your energy.
In fact, everything you do gets from your Bank from Qi. Master Lu often asks: “How are you going to spend your Qi?” And “Did you spend your Qi wisely?” At the end of every day, look back on every meeting you have had and you recognize the reaction of your body on it. Have you come with a headache or ringing in your ears? Has your eye begun to shake or will your face become red beets? Once you step out of a situation, it is easier to see it for what it is and the effect acknowledges that it not only has your emotions, but on your physical body.
So, the next time you are confronted with an angry colleague or an argumentative partner, get in and repeat these words: “_____ does not deserve my Qi.”
Your Qi is a precious source. Use it wisely.
