Need Expert Advice?Our Gurus Can Help

Dear V,

Whatever be the age, a switch in careers is something that one should consider if it’s the passion within that drives you.

Do not switch just because you are tired and dejected from all the rejections.

Is there anything that you must do as a value-add to enhance your profile? Maybe a learning course or something that will help your profile stand out?

Also, you can engage with a Career Coach (please read their reviews online before you engage with any of them) who can guide you appropriately on the direction that you can take.

Regarding Psychology, use your weekends reading about it and taking a few Master Classes in various fields and then think if it really excites you.

It’s a vast field and you require certain qualifications to be able to pursue a career in it. So, weekends can offer you some time to reflect on it as you attend workshops and seminars on this.

PCOS is a condition attributing itself to lifestyle and stress related contexts over a period of time.

Exercise, stopping refined processed foods and meditation have helped with PCOS and its symptoms. So, start with these immediately.

Remember to vale what you have and smile through it all.

All the best!

Dear V,

While it may ‘feel better without it’, that doesn't mean you behave so irresponsible!

I'd suggest you consult your gynaecologist and get yourself fitted with an IUD to minimise the risk of falling pregnant; or, better yet, since your husband's the one who has the problem with contraception, have him undergo a vasectomy. It's a very small procedure and many men opt for it in today's times.

You went through two pregnancies and gave birth twice; I'd say it's his turn now, wouldn't you?

Some of us have lost jobs, some of us have taken a pay cut and all of us don’t know what’s going to happen next.

Thoughts will keep erupting in the mind; that’s what the job of the mind is. But you have the choice of what thought you want to harbour there.

CHOOSE wisely which means wake up every morning in gratitude.

Start the day with a joyous memory something which makes you feel happy and then visualize what you can do to make yourself even more employable than before.

Use this break to learn something new that you have always been wanting to now. 

You have a choice of feeling stuck or feeling freedom where you have the time to do what you want now.

The mind can be trained positively as long as you want to be in a space of feeling happier. Also, meditate or indulge in an activity that you like everyday that helps you again be happy.

Right now, be happy with what is rather than complain about what you can’t have.

This perspective will definitely help in reworking the mind and cope with the current situation. Be cheerful and happy!
