Quote
Your mind is like a device you are wearing. Play with it instead of being played by it. You can easily play with one setting of this device: Focus. Focus only when required. At home, you are relaxed. But your mind is narrowly focussed on TV, fridge, phone and bed. De-focus and take in the whole surrounding. Feel the air touching your skin. hear so many sounds reaching your ears, sit on the floor and see your room without focussing on particular objects.

Love and hate are two forms of the same energy. As soon as you close the outlet of love for someone, the outlet of hate opens up. Both outlets have to be closed if you don't want to deplete your energy on someone.
