How to use this guide:

◄  Predict Others  ►

If you find a person's characteristic trait at a certain mood level in one column, they will often be found at the same mood level in the other columns (there are exceptions, for instance related to traumatic experiences or health issues). You can use this very predictable pattern to better understand your own situation, or assess the success potential in the connection with a future business partner or relationship candidate.

Behavior Predictions and Potential Gains

Evolve Self  

If you find yourself at a certain mood level in a column, you can follow that column upwards to see your own potential gains, should you decide to do some "Personal Growth" work, for instance with life coaching or Emotional Clearing.

Imagining a very positive scenario can be difficult, if you have never experienced it in your own life - it may look unrealistic at first - but trust us, many people live in really joyous mood levels, and with a strong resolve it is possible to get there! Remember, visualizing the desired outcome is the first step of any successful action, so it is essential keep picturing yourself in a really glorious mood.
