Dear Tee,
Yes It’s always a good idea to wear the glasses in front of screens. I prefer Custom made frames with Crizal Lenses (It comes specially with eye protection from screen)

If she’s a licensed psychotherapist, that’s fine. I am a little skeptical about prana healers, but if they have a degree in psychology or counseling, energy work can be a nice addition. Makes their work more holistic…

Yes She’s licensed psychotherapist and practicing this for more than 5 years

I am not a psychologist or a a counselor, but I do have some basic knowledge in psychology, and I’ve been into personal development for almost 20 years, so I’ve learned quite a bit…

That’s really impressive and working on improving yourself consider as a self-love right?

Hmmm… root chakra is related to our basic sense of security and groundedness in the physical plane. Feeling good in our body, not spacing out, being present in the here-and-now, that kind of stuff. It’s not so much related to our self-esteem. Rather, the 3rd chakra is (the solar plexus). So it’s a bit strange that she suggested to work on the root chakra… Maybe next time you can ask her?

Yes but she said she’ll take things from the ground up. And first chakra to work on is root chakra so

What kind of surrendering did she suggest?

I mean I said for my controlling behaviour and that I’m being hard on myself so…
So she suggested to surrender to myself to whatever I believe in.. God or Nature

when you say a certain affirmation (e.g. “I am good enough”, or “I am competent enough”), do you believe it, or not really?

That’s hard to say because I do feel something but not much.

“Lam is also used to cleanse the muladhara chakra, in order to establish or maintain a sense of being grounded and connected to the earth. … 

Yes but because of the humming it’s also good for my thyroid gland. I guess tomorrow I’ll go for thyroid test and see for my hypothyroidism results. It seems like lot of the health problems connected to thyroid gland. That also includes hairfall. Giving me even more anxiety! So tomorrow I’m going to the hospital for a thyroid test

I remember you said you chose a wrong field to study, and then dropped out of college, right? And now you’re studying online to get a degree?

Yes It’s my last semester. After that I want to apply for a MBA because I found out that lot of management positions does require MBA so..

Yes, I too thought it was super helpful to see the parents as guardians and managers – while we were children, but not beyond.

I’ve just watched that video and two another about parents.
I agree with him and also that dependency is not there so why let control? And the need for approval

A company should have a different culture, where you can also question those orders and give feedback…

Yes totally agree

 which means that your boss is a reasonable person, not a bully. That’s so important to have a normal boss!

I have to work with cross functional teams. So there are different managers for different teams but yeah this one is a good fella.

You’re welcome! Let me know how it went…

It was really good even though I’m still not that much good at presenting and storytelling. But they listened carefully. I’ve also talked about anonymous feedback and PR manager said they’ll start working on this documentations… So I hope to see what good changes it brings 😀

Yeah, I know from talking to people close to me how horrible it is when the boss isn’t interested in the employees’ feedback, and how they are expected to just follow the orders and stay silent. And I think I’ve read somewhere that there are such feedback boxes in good companies, and I really liked the idea…

Even though I don’t have much power in my hands rn but I do feel like there is lot things I can do where I can make a good impact.

No, I am not a leader. Rather, I’m trying to be self-employed, but am very slow in taking action – quite the opposite of you  So I am learning something from you too – how to take action and not be afraid of it. So thank you, too! 

So it’s your experience and wisdom. I’ve done freelancing for like a year and what feedback I got is not for my performance but for my attitude first. So yeah being positive and friendly does help.  I don’t care if I really know the person or not. But I prefer to be friendly instead of cold and distant. Because I think people kind of catch up these vibes. Like why am I really interested in working with them.. So I have to see their positive points which would make me feel confident talking to them as well.

I think first what you can do is create good LinkedIn connections (or from other social media depends on the profession) and build a community that like your work, trusts you and admire you. This is like a first and most important thing you should do if you’re not doing that. Like putting relevant posts there, or maybe present what kind of problem you’re trying to solve. Put sample work etc
The more people would feel connected the easier it will be for you.

And I’m glad, Taking action is firm on what you want and taking small steps towards that. I just have this belief like If I’m doing this I’ll put my 100% which won’t make you feel regret later like you know you gave your all. Another thing I do is think what’s the worst that can happen? You’d still be alive and you can try in different way until it works.

Another thing don’t over research. try to start experimenting for what works instead of just gathering the information

Also talk to the people who are already doing this for years. You’d get more insights from them as well
