Chi kung will give us the energy to "just do it"
Question
My life and career have been going through many profound changes. Often, I find myself being pulled in many directions at once and find it hard to relax during the moment. What are some efficient techniques to always maintain a chi kung state of mind and remain positive?

Answer
The answer is simple and straight-forward: just do it.
Just enter into a chi kung state of mind and remain positive.
The wonderful thing is that you can do it. You have the ability to enter into a chi kung state of mind and to remain positive.
People find themselves pulled in many directions at once and hard to relax, or other problems, because of the following reasons.
- They do not know an effective method to overcome their problems. In this case they do not know that by entering into a chi kung state of mind and remain positive, they will not be pulled in many directions at once and will not find themselves hard to relax.
- They do not believe the remedies will overcome their problems. In this case they do not believe that by entering into a chi kung state of mind, and remain positive, they can overcome the problems of being pulled in many different directions at once and finding it hard to relax.
- They do not have the abilities to perform the remedies. In this case, they do not know how to enter into a chi kung state of mind, and how to remain positive.
You are in a privileged position.
- You know the remedies.
- You believe the remedies will solve your problems.
- You have the abilities to perform the abilities.
You also have your own personal experience as well as the experiences of many other people that the remedies will overcome your problems.
What you need is some time and effort to work on your remedies and the problems will be overcome as a matter of course. Our chi kung training gives us the mental clarity and a lot of energy to perform the remedies well.
The same principles apply to countless people who remain miserable because of their problems.
They remain miserable because of the following three reasons:
- They do not have solutions to their problems.
- They do not believe the solutions will solve their problems.
- They do not have the abilities to carry out the solutions.
If they can overcome the above three fators, they will find their problems are actually opportunities for improvement.
Let us take a simple problem like getting from Southampton to London. People cannot overcome this problem because
- They do not know how to get from Southampton to London.
- Even if they know the method, they do not believe that the method will get them from Southampton to London.
- Even if they know the method and believe it works, they lack the ability to get from Southampton to London.
Let us take a more complex problem, one that troubles many people, of earning enough to live a comfortable life. Many people have this problem because
- They do not know how to earn more money to live a comfortable life.
- They do not believe that earning more money will enable them to live a comfortable life.
- They lack the ability to earn more money.
As mentioned earlier, we are in a privilege position. We are elite. Not only we know the reasons why people do not overcome their problems, but also we have the abilities to solve our own problems.
The next important part is: Just do it.
