Hi Anita, thank you for checking in on me. I am doing well. The anxiety has come down significantly, mainly because I will be out of this place in next 10 days and secondly, of course because of positive affirmations and your inputs. Can’t thank you enough! Regards, S K

Thank you, Anita, for your reply. You may be literally the 3rd or 4th person for positively responding to this move. Rest of them made me feel like I committed a crime / I am loser / I escaped or that I will never get a job now. Which is why I started wondering if I did the right thing.

I understand their concern, but senior people, including my parents, my  previous bosses and even my counselor (the sessions are not helping at all), have said that we will keep meeting people like this in our life and we need to be strong and face such situations and not run away, like they think I did. They said one cannot keep quitting over such reasons. I believe a life without a value system or ethics is a life very poorly lived. I believe no one should face such a situation at workplace.

I would like to know though – what are the small every day actions / thoughts for positive affirmations that will help overcome anxiety? My struggle with anxiety and overthinking continues and I really want to learn to manage it.

Thank you!
