We get often get tired when making a decision related to our careers. Am I good enough? Is this opportunity relevant for me? Should I get into academics or higher education or should I get some work experience? Which companies and which job profiles are better? Will I get a raise this year? How can I calculate my career growth? Should I try going abroad? Where is my life headed? Should I get married now or later?

If these are some of the questions that have tired you out, you’re not alone. Let’s try and understand some reasons why such tiredness occurs.

This episode contains a recording of an Instagram Live that I did with Pallavee Purie, a counselling psychologist, has worked in the field of education and mental health for more than 12 years now. She has closely worked with young adults, teachers and parents throughout her professional life to induce an in- depth understanding of the causal relationship between self regulation and mental hygiene. As the societal pressures increase in our already over- competitive world, Pallavee has assisted people of diverse age groups to acknowledge their own journey with better emotional, social and financial adjustments in place. As a digital nomad, she has also gained more interesting insights into the practical implications of the tools of psychotherapy in different social set ups.

Pallavee Purie and Saurabh Nanda break down how different types of career decisions can be exhausting and toll taking. Some of the topics they touch in the podcast are:

Why does the tiredness come from?
How to identify your career options?
Where does the anxiety comes from and how to beat anxiety?
Impact on us — of our environments and people around us
Listener Questions

This episode is the first in many of the series “The Psychology of Careers” where Saurabh Nanda discusses the psychology behind our career related behaviour as manifested in our choices, our decisions, our thinking and our evaluation criteria in our professional and by association, our personal lives.
