Dear Amir
Here are my progress reports after taking the Energy Excellence Course.
Two weeks after the Energy Excellence Course:
The changes in myself are so remarkable! Colours are so much more vibrant, food tastes much nicer, my energy is increasing by the day, I’m happier, singing and dancing, more calm and relaxed, enjoy life more, laughing, more focused and enthusiastic, clearer thinking, more positive, sleep better, eating anything I want, recalling things better, having ideas, staying awake all day some days. I could go on and on!
Many thanks for all your help and advice, I feel so alive!!
I am doing very well and am amazed at how different I feel, my confidence and self esteem is back! Many thanks to you for your kindness and help, and for everything that’s changed for me since.
Update: six weeks after the Energy Excellence Course:
I have been very busy with Xmas plans and have found that I could tolerate the hustle and bustle, I have not needed to rest. I have enjoyed this Xmas and have not got stressed with all the preparations.
I feel so much better already and don’t plan rests anymore, I just get up and get on with life. I do have tea breaks though but not so often.
“I have noticed that if a worrying thought comes to mind, I get far less symptoms, my pulse doesn’t race and my breathing doesn’t change and I don’t boil as much as I used to.”
I am exercising more, walking and I am learning to ride a bike (I didn’t have one as a child), doing a bit of belly dancing and dancing in general at home. I go into town more and now meet up with a friend regularly, and keep in touch with other friends.
I am doing card making as a hobby now, and do some relaxation, yoga and meditation, but only a little each week as I am fitting in quite a lot these days. I can eat anything now without ill effects. I have seen my doctor about coming off calcium tabs, she said yes! I am tablet free now.
My house will go on the market soon, then I move to Wales permanently and will then start to look for work. I have not worked for 9 years now. I look forward to every day now. Lots going on this year and next, with moving house, getting a job and getting married next year.
Update: six months after the Energy Excellence Course:
In January and February I completed a six week workout. Since then I have been very busy!
I put my house on the market at the end of February and sold it within a week! So I had all the packing to do and various arrangements to take care of, which I did very comfortably. I thought ok… this will now be the true test of how well I am!
I coped extremely well, and dealt with things day by day. I didn’t have panic attacks, and continuously packed day after day for about a week and a half! I took everything in my stride. I felt a little emotional but very strong and able to confidently move forward.
Just over a week ago, I went to the Job Centre for the first time in nearly nine years! I have been given great support from them and applied for 2 jobs. I shall wait to see what happens next!
I have loads of energy now and spent 2 whole days in the garden last week without ill effect. The day after I went out for the day and still returned with energy! Things are really looking positive.
By the way, on my CV it has a section of achievements. I thought you would like to know I have put in that the Energy Excellence Course was one of mine!
Will keep in touch. Many thanks,
Ann

Ann’s video testimonial
Ann recorded this video account of her experience with ME/CFS and the Energy Excellence Course. She describes the changes she noticed early on, and how things continued to build from there.

“I’ve been struggling with sort of M.E. type symptoms for well over nine years. Absolute terrible fatigue, like nothing I’d ever known before in my life. I think it was actually, they decided it was brought on by a virus. But it took them a long time to diagnose it with various blood tests, etc.
Which had sort of created this… I’d gone from working to becoming housebound, not even being able to do housework, shopping, have a normal life, or really even watch TV because I couldn’t take in what was going on.
I think it was the frustration and the anger that things weren’t how I wanted them to be. I felt that I’d lost control of my own life. And it was just… well, I can’t do anything about it because every small task that I tried to do seemed like it was almost like climbing a mountain. It was just huge and I’d resigned myself to the fact that things weren’t going to change.
I’d tried sort of the pacing techniques that you’re given, that I was given by my GP, but they didn’t seem to work. And I tried medication that I was given for anti-depressants and that didn’t help at all. So, the symptoms that I was going through were just, like I say, an absolute sense of hopelessness that I couldn’t get beyond it.
I remember attending on the first day and I felt sort of very sceptical about, you know, if nothing else had worked, then… there wasn’t sort of these things generally in use. I thought, this probably isn’t going to work but, you know, what the hell, I’m going to give it a go. It’s worth a try.
So early on, I noticed the difference in myself. Like I said, that’s the word I use a lot, it’s amazing, because the changes built from there. I noticed that colours were more vibrant. I was going for walks again, which is something I hadn’t done in a long, long time and was enjoying it. I wasn’t short of breath, I wasn’t exhausted by the end of it and I felt sort of energised.
And that just got better even day by day and I started thinking more clearly and thinking about what I wanted to do with my life and it just got better and better day by day.
It’s absolutely changed my life. I mean, things have kept building for me ever since I’ve done the course. And I’m working full-time now. I’m studying other things to develop myself in the hope that I’m going into self-employment. So, like I said, I’m doing all the things that I want to do and I’m so much happier now.”
Ann describes noticing shifts in several ways over time: colours more vibrant, food tasting different, her body responding differently to stress. The free mini-course introduces the same foundational understanding she found so meaningful.
