Science grad juggling full-time job & BSc in Psychology, feeling overwhelmed - how to manage?
Ans: Hey!!
Kudos to you for dreaming big and also working towards it by investing time and energy in learning and development.
Not everyone can do it... so pat yourself on the back for it!!

You are absolutely right when you say TIME MANAGEMANT is the key to avoid burnout. However I'll add compartmentalizing and self care along with time management.

Let's take them one at a time ...here I go-

1. You want to perform at your peak then self care is a must, 20 mins of physical activity(it can be anything, run, brisk walk, suryanamaskars, dancing along with fast paced music, anything that gets your heart beat up)
10 -20 mins of meditation, if you believe in the higher power make efforts to connect with it/him/her.
2. 9 to 6 be fully committed to the office, after that switch off, learn to say NO for anything that comes after this time. You can do only so much right? This was one part of compartmentalizing...
3. be fully present in whatever activity you are doing... this is ZEN, nothing more nothing less. This way you will be razor sharp in your focus and get jobs done faster. When you are studying don't think office and vice versa. This is switching off, this is compartmentalizing. This will take conscious efforts but is doable
4.your course is important to you, so schedule a study time and stick to it .The days you have an holiday too... try to relax a little, schedule a study time, finish your studies and go relax and unwind a little, you deserve it...don't cram too much in a day.
A relaxed mind will always perform better and focus better. I really can't tell you the importance of unwinding and mediation, you really have to do it to experience it and reap the benefits of it
5. Always encourage yourself, be your best cheer leader, don't beat yourself down, be kind to yourself too, your mind and body
need that from you. You are already doing so much.
6 .The only way to stop being overwhelmed is also to put out all your tasks of the day on paper and schedule it, prioritize it.... one task at a time, start taking action. And when the task is don't forget to strike the task out with a clean line over the task with a pen... this is a message your giving to your mind. ...'I got one task done, I am capable of getting another done'.. Ahaha... the joy of getting a job done!!
7. Get a good nights sleep, do "yog nidra' before sleeping
8. Always breathe deep whenever overwhelm creeps in and see how calm you become. A calm mind is key to getting more done.

And remember to write "your gratitude" out in the night before sleeping, you'll sleep peacefully and get up fresh.
Also do remember, all tasks can be done happily too... there is no need to drag yourself or be always overwhelmed!
You chose to work and study as well.... honour your choices joyously and go about life with a spring in your step...All best !!

Worried parent of a creative 14-year-old: How can I help her improve grades and find a fulfilling career path?
Ans: First and foremost, you ensure that (1) your communication channel is open with her and that you spend at least thirty minutes with her daily. (2) The atmosphere at home is serene, and (3) she does not have a significant addiction to electronic gadgets. (4) Meet with your daughter's school teacher or any counselor at least once every two weeks, or at the absolute least once a month, in order to learn the reasons behind her poor academic performance. (5) If it is at all possible, chat with her classmates at school to find out if your daughter has any additional problems that she does not want to divulge to you. (6) Make an effort to determine the underlying cause of her lack of interest in her studies. (7) Make an effort to stimulate her by recognizing her for her minor accomplishments. (8) She should also make time for hobbies and relaxation in her routine. (8) To ensure that she has a thorough understanding of her interests, aptitude, attitude, orientation, and personality, it is recommended that she takes any psychometric test at the time that she will be on vacation during the month of December. (9) Determine her path after she completes her 10th grade. (10) You should select the appropriate path for her to take depending on the results of the psychometric test. Some options include the arts and humanities, commerce with arts, vocational courses, and skill-based programs. (10) She should also make a decision by the time she is in the 10th grade as to which stream is the most appropriate for her in order to prepare her for the entrance exams (by enrolling in online or offline coaching programs) to get admission into any undergraduate program that is suited for her. All the Best for your Daughter's bright future.

My daughter will appear for NEET in Gulf. Is there any chance for her in management quota?
Ans: Hello dear.
In MBBS seats, the quota is reserved for NRI students. Your daughter will be eligible for admission, if she cracks the exam with a high score, as there is tough competition. It is highly recommended that you opt for the seat if she gets the admission through NRI quota because, for the management quota, you have to pay a high donation which is not possible for most of the parents, If your financial situation permits you, then you can opt for it. But if your daughter scores less, she can opt for MBBS from any foreign country at a low cost compared to the management quota in India. It is good that you are thinking on alternatives at this juncture. But ask your daughter to study hard and score as high as possible. With the solid score in hand, all the problems will be eliminated and student and parent becomes worry free!

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.
