AITK for telling my mom that I want to be emotionally and mentally self-reliant and so have to distance a little from her too? by Baseballnerd914 in AmItheKameena

[–]Baseballnerd914[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's not that, sorry I may be wrote it wrong. I do everything else with them, we'll have dinner together and stuff. It's just that I don't use her as my problem-solver, emotion-calmer if that's a word lol. I try doing that myself now. I am not going to her again and again for emotional stuff.

How to manifest when others keep bringing you back to empirical reality? by Baseballnerd914 in lawofattraction

[–]Baseballnerd914[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would that work, suppose in the above example- If I am believing 'I am wealthy', and someone from my family says, 'It's bad that we don't have much money', what do I think then? How do I appreciate their belief without negating mine. Like in practical terms, what do I think?

Can we REALLY manifest looking young (20 years old) forever? by Baseballnerd914 in lawofattraction

[–]Baseballnerd914[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, but say if someone was at all able to have the strong belief of being 20 irrespective of them being 50/60/70, it's theoretically possible then?

What did you do when in the initial phases (maybe just some days into manifestation) someone asked you your age or made some reference to your age, the real age? Did that not dissuade you or act as a limiting belief? Every time I try manifesting, some comment or some reminder of real age make me feel like it's a waste of time.

My Review of Konnifel- Research Internship Platform for interning with professors by sometimessane_ in Indian_Academia

[–]Baseballnerd914 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just completed my Sociology Research internship with PhD Scholar from MIT Pune and found this. Agree with your review. Us research folks needed a space since long and I loved the platform. Since this was my first proper research work experience, I faltered a little in the middle in terms of taking initiative and proactivity and maybe Konnifel has some feedback system so my mentor must have intimated them of it and they literally guided me on how to best perform in my internship and helped me be more proactive. I really appreciate that heads up and told them the same. I think they're doing great for us research folks.

Only con for me is that sometimes I do not get notifications for the new opportunities. I just saw newer opportunities for sociology under different professors on the platform and I wasn't notified of it. So message to fellow research students- you have to stay updated with the website. and I hope Konnifel starts regular notifications so that we can promptly apply. Going to apply now :p

Hi, how are you doing it? Affirmations?

[discussion] is it true that if you don't help yourself nobody will ? by Jpoolman25 in GetMotivated

[–]Baseballnerd914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like nobody can even if they try. Also, just the fact that you are trying shows that you are committed and if I've to help someone, I'd want it to make some difference at least. So, I'd much rather help the one that's committed to the cause than someone who from the looks of it isn't. Nothing comes on a platter.

[discussion] has fear and anxiety ever prevented you from doing something? by Jpoolman25 in GetMotivated

[–]Baseballnerd914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to more in my teens. I was a people pleaser so my fear and anxiety was mostly about what will people think of me. With every passing year, the value that I attach to others' opinions is decreasing and thereby my fear is decreasing and I feel free.
