When I’m tired but still have something to do, I (funny enough) try to stay away from our couch. When I sit on the couch, it’s as if time has stopped and I can’t move, and then I don’t want to do anything.
Medically speaking, this can be said to be a natural reaction in which the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant and the mind and body enter a rest mode. However, in the back of my mind, I still have thoughts like “I have to do this” and “I want to finish this,” so I can’t simply leave it to my body’s desires. Because of the negative energy effects that I always talk about, when there is something that needs to be done, the key to truly recovering from fatigue is to take the plunge and get it done first. From a Ki perspective, it is recommended that you get into the habit of finishing what you need to do and then taking a rest.
Invisible “negative energy” exists around us, and whenever it sees an opportunity, it tries to hinder our actions. Especially when you feel “tired,” you are already under the influence of negative energy. The reason why we can’t take in action even when we want to do something can be thought of as the work of this negative energy. At times like this, by resisting negative energy and acting with strong will, we can bounce back from its influence and increase our “ki energy.” In other words, action is power. Therefore, if you postpone taking in action, you are giving more and more opportunities for negative energy to take advantage of you. By starting with what you can and taking in action little by little, you will be able to keep away negative energy and make it easier to receive support from positive energy. Furthermore, the energy of Shinkiko reduces the influence of negative Ki, so it is important to receive Ki on a regular basis.
