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.

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.
