Dr China, as he is popularly called indicated that it is important to maintain a physically fit body, a positive emotional state, a strong mind and a good spirit in order to optimize productivity.
He suggested that eating healthy meals, taking intermittent breaks, and exercising regularly are some of the ways to keep the body fit for positive energy levels.
He also stressed that controlling anger, showing appreciation to others, and doing away with prejudices are important in ensuring a positive emotional state.
Dr. China further advised that a strong mind devoid of negative thoughts will always ensure that there is good energy level for increased productivity.
He again urged the gathering to meditate in whatever forms they believe in, be it as a Christian, a Muslim, a Bhudist, an ancestoral worshipper, etc so as to refocus the body, soul, and mind.
He concluded by tasking all participants to undertake frequent energy audits of themselves to see their status whether or not they are heading for an energy crisis.
