The Symptoms Of Stress or No! You're NOT Mad - You're Just STRESSED!
Check the Stress Chart for the symptoms of stress, find out where you are on the stress chart according to your symptoms of stress.
For many people, the stress chart is a revelation as they begin to realise, "No! I'm not mad! I'm just stressed!"
The modern world and "science" has tried to ignore emotions for far too long.
Emotions are what drives a person to do anything at all, good or bad alike; emotions are the cause of stress. Check out where you are on the Stress Chart right now, where your boss is, your wife, your children.
And most importantly, find out what you need to do to get out of stress, and into success - in work, in sex, in anything you'd ever want to do or be!

- The higher your energy flow, the better you feel, the luckier you are and the more love you attract - naturally.
- Every NORMAL person can be anywhere on this scale, depending on how stressed they are at the time.
- Instead of just "being one person" we can each be at 21 different people, it all depends on our stress levels.
- WHATEVER you want to do in life needs you to at least be on the positive side of the energy body stress table in order to succeed.
- All the "goodies" people seek, from confidence to self belief, from mental and physical strength and endurance to clarity of thought and control over your emotions happen naturally on the positive side of the Stress Scale.
- All you have to do to start to FEEL BETTER is to improve the flow of energy through your energy body.
- And THAT is as simple as making sure you "feed your energy body" with positive energy forms.
This is going to make the "unemotional, rational" scientists start frothing at the mouth and becoming extremely angry - and thereby, illogical, unco-ordinated and no longer in control of what they think, do and say:
- LOVE really is the answer to energy body stress.
If you don't know any other technique yet to improve energy flow through the energy body, simply FIND SOMETHING TO LOVE.
Think about some thing or some person you love.
It doesn't matter if what you love are StarWars toys, or your cat; your grandchildren, or a beautiful landscape.
As soon as you think towards something you love, you can feel yourself becoming calmer, clearer.
The more you focus on it, and the reasons why you love it so much, how wonderful it is, how it makes you feel, the better you start to feel, in a direct cause and effect of the more you love, the better you feel.
This is using your power of decision to direct your mind towards something GOOD.
It is natural and people have used this since the dawn of time to find strength; it's why people at work have photographs of their loved ones to inspire them, give them strength when they falter, give them courage and give them hope - those are the exact positive energies that we need to keep our energy bodies strong - and ourselves from going mad with stress.
It is important to know your own personal Stress Chart, and to start to realise that when you start to think crazy thoughts, it's because you are running out of power in your energy system.
Your battery is going flat and you need to STOP and do something to inspire you. Find something to love, and fast.
There are a number of simple, practical techniques available today which are specifically designed to increase energy flow through your energy body.
The important thing is to understand that stressed people are low on energy, and to get them some positive energy as soon as possible.
This is structural and no different than to give a dehydrated man some water, or a starving child an energy biscuit.
Too many people who have struggled with what is nothing more and nothing less than low energy states have been wrongfully diagnosed with all manner of "syndromes" - and many more have never sought psychotherapy but struggle on their own, thinking they're mad, and medicating themselves with everything from food to substances, activities to self mutilation.
Please know that if you have the wherewithal to read these words, you're not mad, you are just stressed.
And the crazier your thoughts or actions, the more stressed you have to be.
Start today by monitoring your stress levels and by making the decision that you are going to seriously engage in the "pursuit of happiness."
Happiness is our sign that we're doing the right things, that our energy body is (finally) getting some long needed nourishment, and our lives are (finally) moving in the right direction.
What we call "love" is just energy.
And it really is the answer to most of humanity's ills.
