I've started practicing with a psi- wheel. Each night, it becomes stronger and stronger. However, there is a night that I got angry to the highest level that I feel like I want to kill a person who made me mad. I can't sleep, I can't concentrate. I can't keep calm and relax. On the next day, I tried again the psi- wheel, but unfortunately it won't move anymore Is that possible to happen to a beginner like me? Why is that happening? What should I do? Need your help guys.
Becoming angry at someone is a redirection of consciousness.
You can direct it back to what truly matters for you and maintain it there. Avoid supplying energy to little thoughts and emotions .. just let them be, don't focus on them.
I've found it to be easier when the intended change is as wide as possible. That is, it seems easier to change the way I think, the way I sit, the way I walk, the way I look at things all at once. The less old habits (no matter what kind of habits), the less the chance to slip again .. it's all a practice of single-pointed focus (lazy about one thing means lazy about all of them). The change should be on the mind all the time: while doing homework, while asleep and seeing dreams..
Also, never let your mind develop an idea of what you are like, always keep it developing further and further.
I find The Man of Steel trailer highly motivative:

A stable-minded person will neither hug nor hate the world, he will take things as they come.
Thanks for the response. Now I understand. One thing also affects, I am now in a different environment where I feel lazy and relax. Unlike last time, I am at work where I feel energetic and my mind always works.
Is there a way that I can put back my focus even I am in this kind of place?
Yes, if you change the way you walk, talk to people, the way you approach problems and so on .., then all aspects of life become a practice of focus. You can also maintain a _subtle_ focus on the crown (light, central flame, a mantra or an image of what it would feel like after those changes in your life) no matter where you are or what you're doing. This helps as a sort of anchor, which keeps you from becoming lost in whatever you might be doing (the better the focus, the easier it is to become lost).
Though, I wouldn't suggest thinking about it as "putting back focus" or "recovering old skills". Don't long for the past, since it creates loops and hampers progress. You're always improving and exploring what lies beyond your horizon. You never reach your peak, because you always discover new and more exciting peaks to explore.
:) I'm also learning as I'm writing these posts - don't assume I'm correct about all of this, just in case. Same thing .. I've become lost in a few of those loops of longing for what was in the past. Working on those changes in my life as well.
