[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thank you for this! I am going on to month 3. I think I am retracing my

emotions/anxiety. Not sure, but it has been difficult trying to do both with

work. Yes, I sit quietly at my desk and cry a few times a day. This is

effecting my focus even more because I avoid people and am not being

proactive at all. I just want to be alone and figure out what the heck is

wrong w/ me. It's a vicious cycle...

I started playing some Deva Premal at my desk to try and help me tune out

all of the negative energy at my work place.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Blessings and lots of luck,

Jess
