Intensity rating (in the context of EFT)
Before doing any tapping, you need to evaluate the intensity of the issue so that you can see if you are making any progress or none at all. The way to do this is by giving your problem a mark out of 10 - 10 being your problem is virtually unbearable and 0 being no problem whatsoever. Your goal is to get down to 0.
Don't think too had about a correct number. The number should come to you easily.
If it doesn't, you can use a different scale such as "low", "medium", "high", "extremely high", etc.
