How to use EFT for Coronavirus

please reply to ann@annparker.co.uk

Everybody is worried about what will happen to their health, lives, jobs and money during this time.  We haven't seen measures like this since the war and fear will degrade the immune system which means that you are more likely to pick up the virus - or some other illness and virus. So using EFT every day will help on so many levels.

1. Take vitamins especially Vitamin C to help boost your immune system

2. Using EFT to boost your immune system - for example

Use this as a set up phrase: My immune system is working at 100% and protecting me from the corona virus or any other illness
Then tap on every point: My immune system is working at 100%
Then tap on any memories or thoughts that may come up during the tapping

3. Using EFT to eliminate the fear, panic and worry.

Going into fear, panic and worry will not help you or your family - you need to stay positive.  The press and social media are whipping up the fear.

Use this as a setup phrase: I am releasing all fear and panic about the corona virus
Then tap on every point: I am protected from the corona virus or I am calm about the corona virus
Then tap on any thoughts that come up
If you are fearful the fear point is the Eyebrow so you can tap on that one constantly whilst watching the television etc
EFT calms you down and releases stress whilst you are doing it anyway so that should help.

4. Take sensible precautions as recommended

How effective are the short versions of EFT?

please reply to ann@annparker.co.uk

The answer is very effective!.  In my video I show that you can just use one point (the karate chop) to just your face points to a routine of 8 points on the upper body.

This means that it can be done quickly and anywhere - I am told that on the London underground you often see people tapping their KC point - and why not - get rid of your self sabotage before you get to work or release any bad vibes on the way home!  The KC point is for self sabotage and your subconscious automatically knows what needs releasing so I suggest you use this as often as you can.  Watching the television is a very good example and you don't have to think, repeat phrases - just let the good work happen!

The face points can be quickly done in the loo if you are nervous, anxious or are going for an interview.  Again you can do it repeating a phrase or on their own - I suggest you start tuning into your intuition to find out what is best for you.  If you find it helps to repeat a mantra use something like fear or anxious.

The 8 point version is used by a lot of practioners and again this can be used with a repeated phrase, set up statement or just on its own - depending on what needs clearing, where you are and how much time you have.

If you are in a place that you cant tap then tap in your imagination on the points - this works just as well!

Remember tap on everything and do it consistently and you will get lighter and lighter!

Why everybody should use EFT

please reply to ann@annparker.co.uk

When everything started to go wrong I suspected that I was self sabotaging myself, but over 25 years ago nobody seemed to understand what I was talking about. I then came across the forerunner to EFT called TFT and this really opened my eyes as it talked about self sabotage all the time.  The only problem was that every issue used a different routine so it was more complicated to do and remember.  Then EFT (emotional freedom technique) came along and made things really easy and effective.  I learnt the long version (which I will demonstrate later on in the week) and I still go back to this if a problem doesn't shift or it comes back.

You can use EFT on everything and I mean everything!  From weight loss to stress, to passing exams to confidence and self esteem, to pain and healing, to anxiety and depression, to health and PTSD.  You can use it surrogately on children and animals and it is a good idea to teach your children the quick routine so they can use it if they are being bullied or have exam stress.

You can use it with the law of attraction and create money, jobs and your soul mate - the list in endless. You can even use it to heal past lives and release your karma!  Why not contact me and book a course or have a 1:1 session - you will benefit from it for the rest of your life!

Sorry the video is not brilliant quality but is informative!

How intolerances can stop you losing weight

please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk

One of the most important chapters in my book, Unlock your Maximum Weight Loss Potential, is the one on allergies and intolerances.  We are all familiar with the these causing swelling or breathing problems but nobody seems to have talked about other problems such as weight gain, water retention - and then not being able to lose the weight/water once it is on.

I once was at an exhibition and a young, very slim girl, was telling me that she had an underactive thyroid - as she was so slim I really wasnt taking much notice!!  She then said that it turned out to be a gluten intolerance and that it gave her the symptoms of an underactive thryoid.  I had never heard this before but it does make a lot of sense because although thyroid tests are very inaccurate it would explain why some tests come back OK when the person is suffering with weight gain and all the other symptoms.  Gluten intolerance is very common but you can also still be intolerant to wheat and yeast - I have a terrible intolerance to yeast and swell up like a ballon when I eat marmite - which is unfortunate because I love it!

Other intolerances can cause water retention and swelling and this water is virtually impossible to release until you stop eating this product and eventually it will come off.  Also intolerances can affect your endocrine system which will also cause weight gain and/or water retention.

In my book I teach you various methods to test for yes and no answers (called muscle testing or dowsing with a pendulum) so you could use this method to test which foods are not good for you - you could also ask what foods add weight even though you are not intolerant to them.  Or you could get an intolerance test done - there are normally offers available on groupon so I would suggest you use one of those and go for a large spectrum.

It is normally suggested that you stop eating the food for approximately 3 months and then introduce and journal what your reactions are.  Usually with an allergy or intolerance there was an emotional trigger so you can use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to eliminate this and then the intolerance will normally disappear.  I would highly recommend this.

Please be also aware that you may be ok with food but when it is combined you will become intolerant - so you are ok with cheese and bread but together they cause you a problem - this is why journally every day is so good

Using essential oils to attract abundance and success

please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk for more information or to book a session

There are so many different types of healing and techniques it is difficult to find which ones work for you.  In my book, Unlock your Maximum Potential, I review all the techniques I have tried over the last 25 years and say which worked for me and which didnt - so hopefully that will be helpful.  But I do feel that we need to go back to basics like using essential oils.  We may have burners and oils but we are not targeting areas of our health and life with the correct oils.  The smell might be nice and may relax us at the time but they are such a handy tool and can be used for manifestation as well!

Please remember to buy the best oils you can and that they should be diluted if put on the skin with oils.  There are lots of diffusers on the market now so chose one that suits your home and situation.  If you go for a massage and the oil is already made up this is wrong, the oil should be made specifically for you and the issues you are presenting at the time - otherwise it is just a very expensive massage!  If you dont like the smell of the oils you must say as well. You can mix oils but ensure that you like the smell of the outcome! 

You can also use essential oils to increase intelligence, increase attention span and encourage studying - so why not burn them while your children are studying.  Oils used for success and manifesting can eliminate blocks, patterns and fears and open your senses to manifesting the life of your dreams.  Why not give it a go .........

Essential oils that can attract success and abundance

Basil - Basil essential oil is used to attract money, abundance, and prosperity
 
Bergamot - Bergamot essential oil can clear away the fogginess that stops us thinking clearly and retaining new information.  Place 3-5 drops of Bergamot to your wallet or purse to attract money and success
 
Chamomile - Add 10 to 15 drops of Chamomile essential oil to your bath to attract love. Use 8 to 10 drops as a handwash to attract money.  If you are stressed or can’t sleep, place 2 to 3 drops on your pillow to ensure a good night’s rest
 
 
 
Cinnamon Leaf - Cinnamon is used to attract money and wealth

 Orange - Orange is used for luck, money, love and success

Jasmine – Jasmine essential oil is linked to drawing money and wealth to you. Excellent for stress and for a good nights sleep
Neroli - Add a few drops of Neroli essential oil to your wallet and purse to attract money. Rub some drops onto your hands to bring success in everything you touch

Patchouli - Patchouli essential oil is used to attract money, prosperity and love. It is also excellent for the skin and an appetite suppressant
Vetiver - Vetiver essential oil is used for money, prosperity and love.  Also good for attention span



Anxiety, Stress & memory - The best essential oils for these conditions are:

 Ã˜  Chamomile

Ø  Lavender (ad a few drops to your pillow if you can’t sleep)

Ø  Frankincense

Ø  Patchouli

Ø  Rose

Ø  Vanilla

Ø  Bergamot

Ø  Juniper

Programming a crystal to help you succeed!

please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk for more information or to book a session

How to program a crystal to help you succeed

I read a lot of spiritual magazines and they all advise a different crystal for a different problem.  So this means that it ends up costing you a fortune and then, if you are anything like me, you can't remember what the names of the crystals are and what they are for!  I have hundreds of crystals that I have bought over the years and can't remember what at least 3/4 of them are for!

So what I recommend in my book, Unlock your maximum potential, is that you visit a show or a shop and you look carefully for a crystal that catches your eye.  Usually a crystal will jump out at us or if you run your hand over a lot of crystals you will find one may be hot or cold or that you just have to have it.  If I am programming for personal use I usually buy a smallish crystal, but if I am programming for my house or an office space I will usually buy something larger as it is not going to be moved.

When you bring it home the first thing you must do is to cleanse it to remove any negativity it may have picked up by being handled by other people.  The usual method is to wash it in warmish water and then pat dry.  If you want to check its cleansing method, do a search on the internet just to make sure this is correct for your crystal.  You can also put it outside during a full moon or put it in the earth - however, I prefer the washing method.

Hold the crystal in your hands and get to know it and really feel its energy.  Hold it to your heart and then say I am programming you to: and then list all the issues you would like help with.  You could have a crystal for health, work, money or you could just have one crystal and program it for everything.  I carry a crystal around with me that is programmed with everything + protection, but I do have a couple of other crystals programmed to help with other problems such as health.  So for example you could ask:

I am in full health
I want to be successful
To grow my business by 50%
To attract the correct team for my business
To heal my arthritis or pain
To bring in clients
To increase my abundance
To protect me against negativity
To protect my house/office/car against negativity or bad luck
To increase my luck so I am always lucky
To release my excess weight
To reduce my stress levels
To find my perfect job
To attract my perfect soulmate

Then finish with: I wish the crystal to be self cleaning.  This means that the crystal will automatically self clean itself and you wont have to keep washing it.  However, when your list changes I would suggest you wash and re-progam.  You can add or subtract instructions or change the wording.  The wording must mean something to you so dont use other people's words.

And so the list can go on.  I would suggest that you give this a lot of thought before you conduct the programming so you cover all the subjects.  You can program a crystal for your children or your pets.  I usually have a large protection crystal in my house and a small crystal by my bed so I sleep well and am protected if I decide to go off astral travelling!!

My book, Unlock your maximum potential, is packed full of tips, techniques and information so that you can manifest the life of your dreams!

Stress is becoming the biggest killer of all time

contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk for more information or to book a session

Stress is becoming the biggest killer of all time

In my new book, Unlock your maximum potential, I have a very large chapter on stress.  Everybody is so stressed now and this is damaging our health beyond recognition - I know because it happened to me.  From the age of 25 when I joined a company in support I thought nothing of working 14 hours a day, every day.  Then I had a mother, husband, house and dog to look after as well.  This went on for 30 years until my body couldnt stand anymore and my adrenals gave out in exhaustion.  I could hardly get out of bed, my hair fell out in handfuls and I swelled up with water.  The doctors advice was just to rest but you need to do so much more.  I explain in my book how alcohol and junk food makes things worse - although you crave them to give you energy and to make you feel better - and you are so stressed for time it is easy to pick something up and eat it on the run.

So you need to take stock of your life and decide what you are going to change and start to really look after yourself. These are just a few examples of how you should change your life:

1.  You need a healthy diet with veg and fruit and protein - cut out pasta and bread etc.
2.  You need to do some exercise every day that you enjoy - if you dont enjoy it your body sets up another stress response and it will make you worse.  Even if you go out at lunchtime for a brisk walk this will help you clear your head
3.  You need to take vits, minerals and herbs.  I list the ones I recommend in my book
4.  You need to tell your family and your boss and ask for help - I know this is very difficult but it needs to be done.  You need to be able to say NO and mean it whatever manipulation is thrown at you.
5.  You need to spend time on your own deep breathing and meditating - 10 mins a day is fine but this will help get the oxygen around your body and focus your mind.  We all forget to breathe!
6.  You need to learn EFT so you can release your patterns and blocks daily - this is also excellent for overwhelm and stress - even if you are not tapping on stress the tapping automatically de-stresses the body
7.  You need to look at your life and see where you want to make changes.  Do friends serve you any more?  Do you want to change your job? Do you need to get a cleaner or delegate to your children!  You cant do everything for everybody any more

My book is packed full of techniques, remedies, essential oils, crystals and everything to help you eliminate your stress and make your life as stress free as possible.  It could be the best £9.99 you have ever spent!

FIND OUT HOW TO ELIMINATE PTSD SYMPTOMS WITH MY NEW BOOK

My new book Unlock Your Maximum potential is now available on Amazon for £6.99!
Contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk for more information or to book a session

There is a lot of help for PTSD out there - why is no-one listening!!!!
Every day we are reading about service personnel taking their lives because they are not getting the right treatment for PTSD.  There are many great therapies and techniques that can be used to eliminate PTSD totally, but most are not recommended by doctors/NHS. I have now been writing for years to organisations, charities and recently Prince Harry to offer my services FOC to try and help all the sufferers.  As we know therapy can be expensive and usually a few sessions are required.

I have also been trying to promote the facebook group, Post Major Incident Therapist Network.  There are over 2000 therapists world wide who are waiting to help people free with PTSD. You just join the group, chose the therapist you like the look off and contact them.  Sessions are done remotely which saves time and money and having to get to somebody. What have been peoples response, even Prince Harry (or his office) – we are too busy to do anything about this!

It is very disheartening to hear this as even simple things like EFT, rescue remedy, meditation can all help.  Homeopathy is brilliant for this and builds back confidence.  There is a lot more information in my book, Unlock your Maximum Potential, on how to eliminate PTSD symptoms - and you don't need to keep talking about the problems.

You don't have to live with PTSD now - you just need to find the right therapy

Post traumatic stress disorder is becoming one of the most serious problems of our time.  Caused by a serious trauma such as war, rape, abuse or an accident, it puts the body into the "flight or fright" mode permanently causing stress.  The sufferer can't sleep, can't eat and can't funtion.  Because people can't see what is going on, they are not always sympathetic and doctors and consultants prescibe medicine which is not always the answer.

Recently the Speakmans, who do a therapy similar to mine, worked for a man who had been involved in the 7/7 bombings and couldn't go out of the house.  The consultants had told him that he would never be cured - in one day he was able to revisit the underground where the trauma had happened.  ISN'T THAT AMAZING.

In my practice I use techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Tapas Accupuncture Technique (TAT) + homeopathy and I am getting fantastic results.  Because trauma is stored in the body and needs to be released, techniques like counselling and CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) don't work full time - they give you tools to cope not to remove completely.

The beauty of EFT and TAT is that the client (or you) can do it anytime and any place - if they feel emotions coming up, anxiety, fear or in need of "putting in" something positive.  Again the beauty of EFT and TAT is that not only does it release the negative patterns and trauma, but it puts in the positive such as self esteem, self confidence and self value.

Obviously the trauma that causes the PTSD happened - nothing can change that.  But what can change is your feelings and attitude towards it.  Are you frightened about going in a car after an accident?  Do you have survivors guilt because you lived and others died?  Do you still relive the rape or your best friend being shot and killed next to you?  These feelings are released gently so you feel safe again and can live normally.

PTSD has an adverse affect on your adrenals which control your stress levels.  The more stressed you become the more the rest of your body is affected.  You may turn to alcohol or drugs to numb out the feelings, you may eat junk food or start self harming.  As part of the treatment this stress needs to be addressed and your adrenals healed as well.  Stress can make you really ill by causing cancer, heart problems and other life limiting illnesses.  The more you can calm yourself and your body down, the healthier you will become.

If you know anybody who is suffering with PTSD please forward them this post.  I am looking for 20 people to help FOC so please contact me on info@unleashyourfullpotential.co.uk to book an appointment.

Why do you overeat?

please contact me on info@unleashyourfullpotential.co.uk

Why do you overeat?  Do you do it when you are bored, emotional, PMS or some other reason?  Do you know why you overeat?  Food can be an addiction (as strong as drink and drugs) as it gives you please and releases the feel good hormones.

You can be stuffing down emotions you dont want to look at, or you could be giving yourself the love you never received from your mother - or are not receiving now from your partner or children.  Food is often given as a treat to a child or sometimes to shut you up and keep you quiet.  So if you want to treat yourself you will often go to a bar of chocolate - but one is never enough so you eat as much as you can and then you are filled with self loathing and self disgust which causes you to start again - it is a vicious cycle.

Sometimes you eat because the type of food gives you the emotion of what you need - no sweetness in your life is one of the main ones.  Sometimes you dont even know why you are eating.  This is why it is a good idea to start keeping a journal and record your moods, hormones, what is happening in your life, your emotions and anything else and that will help you manage your eating better.

If you are stressed you may reach for the food and the booze but actually this is making it worse.  And instead of blocking your emotions you really need to deal with them and work out strategies for you to cope for the future.  This is where techniques like EFT are invaluable because they really help release these emotions quickly and without having to look at the cause - they just go.

If your subconscious doesnt want you to be slim it will stop your will power in its tracks and you will eat.  So why dont you want to be slim - what happened the last time?  Did your partner leave you or you got pregnant or you got too much attention?  So suddenly you will feel yourself eating and you dont know even what you have eaten - only the empty packets tell the tale.

As I mentioned in my last blog if you have a background of scarcity and lack - and feel that is what is happening now - you will eat and put on weight because you feel this is the only way to proceed.

In the long run eating does not bring you what you want or help with the emotions - it is a bit like drinking when you wake up they are all still there!  Only now you have gained pounds, your clothes dont fit and you have spots!

So stop making excuses and look at your life and start cutting down on this eating.  Even if you are slim (and I know lots of slim people who stuff their faces!) you will not be healthy on the inside or outside and your skin will tell the tale.  Put yourself back in control of your life and learn to heal the emotions and begin to like yourself.  Why not contact me for a copy of my book WHY?WEIGHT which will help you stop this habit and lose the weight?

More from my book on how to identify stress


How do you spot that you may be stressed?

These are some of the signs that you may be stressed – do you recognise any of them?

1. You are not quite yourself

This is a difficult sign to recognise. Often it's other people who point it out to you. You may be losing your temper on a regular basis or snapping at the least little thing.  You seem to have lost your sense of humour and everything feels a struggle.  You can also feel that ‘everybody is out to get you’ and that nobody works as hard as you do.  You feel as if you can’t cope with the slightest problem that is thrown your way and in some cases can burst into tears at the slightest comment.  You make silly mistakes and can’t seem to cope with your workload.

2. Tension in your body 

Tension around the shoulders and neck may not be down to sitting at your computer for hours on end it could be a sign of early stress. Whatever you do, the tension will not go.

3. Developing odd habits

You may find yourself developing habits like biting your nails or talking to yourself.

4. Eye twitching

If out of the blue your eye starts to twitch this could be down to stress and tiredness.

5. Feeling sick

You start to feel nauseous all the time and whatever you do you don’t feel any better.

6. Colds, cold sores and ulcers

These could all be signs that you may be under stress. Stress affects every cell in your body and it's a case of your immune system not managing as well as it should and it affecting the internal workings of your body.

7. Sleepiness and bad dreams

Stress can affects your sleeping patterns, you might lie awake in the middle of the night going over things in your head or you may just want to sleep constantly. The stress response may keep you awake or it can feel like you are sleeping all the time but your body is never restoring itself and resting properly.

8. Odd niggles

Other symptoms of stress include teeth grinding, unexplained rashes and hives. You may have heart palpitations and feel that your body is rushing.  Stress can also give you spots and acne and a red skin.  It can also manifest as hot flushes, tingling in the hands and feet, tension headaches and hot feet.  If you keep having thoughts of dying, suicide or feel detached from everything, then you are most probably stressed.

What causes stress?


Causes of stress

The situations and pressures that cause stress are known as stressors. We usually think of stressors as being negative, such as an exhausting work schedule or a rocky relationship. However, anything that puts high demands on you or forces you to adjust can be stressful. This includes positive events such as getting married, buying a house, going to college, or receiving a promotion.

Of course, not all stress is caused by external factors. Stress can also be self-generated, for example, when you worry excessively about something that may or may not happen, or have irrational, pessimistic thoughts about life.

What causes stress depends, at least in part, on your perception of it. Something that's stressful to you may not faze someone else; they may even enjoy it. For example, your morning commute may make you anxious and tense because you worry that traffic will make you late. Others, however, may find the trip relaxing because they allow more than enough time and enjoy listening to music while they drive.

Common external causes of stress:

Major life changes
Work or school
Relationship difficulties
Financial problems
Being too busy
Children and family

 

Common internal causes of stress:

 

Chronic worry
Pessimism
Negative self-talk
Unrealistic expectations/Perfectionism
Rigid thinking, lack of flexibility
All-or-nothing attitude

Your ability to tolerate stress depends on many factors, including the quality of your health and relationships, your general outlook on life, your emotional intelligence, and genetics. Are you are glass ‘half full’ or a glass ‘half empty’ person?  If you are the ‘half full’ person this will help you to combat stress.  If you look for a benefit in every situation and use it for growth, this will also help. If you are a ‘survivor’ rather than a ‘victim’ this will help.  If you are doing something stressful because you personally get a benefit from it like attention and sympathy, this will definitely not help.

What's stressful for you?
What's stressful for you may be quite different from what's stressful to someone else. For example:
Susan finds looking after her parents a joy, but her sister Melanie finds it stressful
Rosemary loves getting up in front of people and speaking but Carol shakes and can’t speak
Ann loved her drive to work as it gave her time to think and listen to her music, while James hated it because he always worried there would be an accident and he would be late
Angela complains in a restaurant if necessary but Don couldn’t possibly complain so he just doesn’t go back


Your support network – A strong network of supportive friends and family members can be an enormous buffer against life’s stressors. On the flip side, the more lonely and isolated you are, the greater your vulnerability to stress.

Your sense of control – It may be easier to take stress in your stride if you have confidence in yourself and your ability to influence events and persevere through challenges. If you feel like things are out of your control, you’re likely to have less tolerance for stress.

Your attitude and outlook – Optimistic people are often more stress-hardy. They tend to embrace challenges, have a strong sense of humour, and accept that change is a part of life.  Pessimistic people can spiral into depression and stressful situations very quickly.

Ability to let go of the past – You have to accept your life as it is now and let go of everything negative that has happened in the past.  If you are constantly trying to change your life you will become more stressed.  You need to slow down and look at all of the areas in your life that aren’t working and put a plan together to improve them.  People normally become too busy because they don’t want to look at what is not working in their lives and they rush and make themselves ill.  A friend of mine is always causing himself to have big accidents and this is because the Universe is telling him to slow down and look at his life, and the more he doesn’t the more the Universe makes him ill.

Your ability to deal with your emotions – You’re extremely vulnerable to stress if you don’t know how to calm and soothe yourself when you’re feeling sad, angry, or overwhelmed by a situation. The ability to bring your emotions into balance helps you bounce back from adversity and is a skill that can be learned at any age.

Your knowledge and preparation – The more you know about a stressful situation, including how long it will last and what to expect, the easier it is to cope. For example, if you go into surgery with a picture of what to expect post-op, a painful recovery will be less traumatic than if you were expecting to bounce back immediately.

Your health – If you are fit, eat healthily, your brain chemistry is balanced and you absorb all the necessary supplements, you will cope with stress more efficiently.  If you exercise regularly this will also help to de-stress you.

Your ability to laugh - Put on a funny DVD and have a good old fashioned belly laugh.  Laughing will relieve stress quicker than anything.  Try and see the funny side of every situation and laugh and try and make other people laugh as well.  Laughter is so healing and we all seem to have lost our sense of humour with everything that is happening in our lives.

Anger triggers stress

Anger can be very destructive and if unresolved, can cause major stress and illness.  You need to be able to recognize when you are angry and not suppress it.  If you have not able to show anger as a child this is very difficult to achieve.

Ancestral curses and how they can affect your weight in this life

Everybody on my mothers side has a weight problem.  It doesnt matter how much exercise or dieting we do we all end up the same size - if you see us in a crowd there is no mistaking us!!!  Weight problems can be genetic, but this can also be caused by ancestral curses.  Many generations ago your family could have done something and have been cursed and this curse has manifested as a serious weight problem.  I had one client whose ancestral curse manifested as miscarriages which was heartbreaking.

Your family could have stolen money, stolen land, been a land owner and treated people badly. Your family could have been involved in the slave trade in many countries or even with building the pyramids.  It doesnt have to be about food but being overweight is a form of punishing and suffering so this works nicely - and you cant do anything about it.  I managed to lose 5 stone but woke up one morning 6 stone heavier and believe me it wasnt to do with food but the fact that I was "cursed" to be fat!

As part of my business I specialise in removing ancestral curses so if you feel this may be your problem please contact me on info@unleashyourpotential.co.uk and watch the weight drop off, your ancestors healed and future generations healed - wouldnt you like to be able to heal their weight problem before they have one!!

Just a word of warning about curses - do not (even in fun or tempter) say the words "I curse you" or equivalent as the universe will activate the curse - and then the curse comes back on you 100 fold

However, stress isn’t always bad for you and in small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best, get a project in on time or perform brilliantly at a presentation.
