I feel that other indications of nervousness might be jitteriness of speech or of the limbs, lack of balance in physical movement, or jitteriness or imbalance in the energy field. But sometimes these same symptoms may occur due to lack of sleep or physical fatigue or other physical diseases. –Alice B. Clagett
