Telepathy is a phenomenon under the broad Umbrella term of Extrasensory Perception(ESP) as defined in Parapsychology.

Clairvoyance, clairaudience,  are similar to the phenomenon of Telepathy.

Telepathy is communication of a message from one mind to another without any medium. For example, you get a call from a friend the moment you think of him; Though you were out of touch with him since long. This is beyond your learned knowledge and intellect.

Research cannot establish the occurrence of  Telepathy; but science has confirmed that you are made up of frequencies, vibrations, and molecules. Your frequency can be transmitted to another person provided you have shared a physical space at some point in your life.

It is not possible to measure, control or observe an event like Telepathy and hence the limitation in Research.

These could be some of the possible explanations of Telepathy:

• You have Neurons in your brain, called Mirror neurons which act as mirrors;  hence you would have noticed some people can read other people’s mind better. Research has shown that you can even understand the emotions and intentions of the other person automatically. If you have higher levels of oxytocin, the chances are that you would be better at understanding and reading these social cues.

• Research in this area has also demonstrated that you might be more Telepathic than your friend. A brain-imaging study done on a Telepathic person’s brain showed more activation in the right parahippocampal gyrus(Area of the brain).
• The more dopamine you have in your brain, the greater are the chances of unfounded beliefs ( this is not an indicator of any pathology). Studies have indicated a genetic difference in dopamine transmission of Telepathic people.

Although, we do not have any substantial research in this area, It is interesting enough to explore and know more about Telepathy.

We can’t always send out positive e-mails. Sometimes, we send negative e-mails also it is necessary to be harsh, to send out feedbacks. It may be an email to an employee or an investor. Where you want to lay off someone or disagree with someone. Hence, it becomes a necessity.

We all know that even simple words over a phone conversation can be misinterpreted. Thus, sending out a negative email can cause immense anxiety to the person who is receiving the mail. A person who is already suffering from a mental health issue might lose days of sleep.

Hence below is the “how to” guide on sending a negative e-mail:

Something Friendly:

Once you are done with the salutation, it’s always good to start with something friendly. It will create a conservative tone and intrigue a conversation. It can be; “How are you?”, “How was your weekend?” etc.

Thanking:

Even if you are laying off someone, you should thank them for their work. A simple “Thank You” can ease up the mind make the person feel appreciated for the work they have done. Directly dwelling on what is wrong in their work can make any person feel anxious.

Something Positive:

It might feel like going around in circles, but it is important. The person must have done something positive throughout their tenure. Hence, it is important that you point out their strengths and boost up their positive sentiment. It then eases up the conversation and keeps them calm while reading the rest of the e-mail.

The Body:

In the body of the e-mail, you can present your criticism, or feedback, or laying off. But, along with it, you should mention the reason, and how the person can correct these for future purposes. Simply writing that you are “fired” or “I disagree”, will make the person feel unappreciated. Thus, it is important that along with the feedback, you should present your thinking.

Avoid making direct comments, instead, try to elaborate on things. It’s better to limit yourself to things which can point out the detailed instructions. If the person is being laid off for various reasons, it’s better to give in bullet points, and along with it give the reason. If you do this, then the person will feel appreciated and feel valued.

Ending:

Always end with asking if you can clarify anything or any doubts. It sends out a positive message that you care about the person. It brings a closure to the email and also it sends out the message to the person that you are willing to listen to them. If you just end with the criticism, it will leave a negative impact on the person.

Then end the email with a nice sign-off. Which can be, “Best Regards”, “All the Best for Your Future”, etc.

Sending:

There is a right time for sending out any kind of email. If you start sending out emails in the middle of the night, then it can cause anxiety and panic. It’s better to send the email in the morning when the person has woken up. It gives a message of consideration and makes it easier for the person to process.

Following the above simple method, can make it easier to send out negative emails. Thus, making it better for the person to process and accept the feedback.

#MeToo. An Important Topic being openly discussed

Sexual harassment is, unfortunately, a common occurrence in the workplace and community at large. It can be both verbal, physical and even non-physical (leering and staring). Survivors sometimes may ignore or deny their experiences and feelings and realize it at a later time in life. When feelings resurface, they are generally accompanied by shame, guilt and take a hit on their confidence by associating life experiences as out of their control. In such cases, it is important to remember that the perpetrator is the one who is guilty and not the victim.

Most survivors find it hard it hard to confess to friends or family due to the stigma attached. Some people are even forced to put down their voice because of the nature of the issue at hand. If the listener behaves in a reckless way while listening to your trauma, please remember that your issue is not a non-issue and it says something about the listener and not about you, the survivor. Your story of struggle is worthy of attention. It might help you to see a good counselor to share your grievances and walk towards healing.

For the benefit of our readers, we are listing a few tips below on how to effectively cope with the issue of sexual harassment:

Shoot it straight:

Face the perpetrator directly and ask him to stop. If the behavior continues, threaten them that you will complain about it and have him face consequences. Make sure to be in a safe and accessible space while delivering the threat. If they persist despite threats, go ahead and take further action.
Note: If you are a kid reading this article, immediately without second thought, go and confess to your parents.

A firm claim:

Search for other victims of your harasser. Their voice coupled with yours makes a strong case which cannot be put down or ignored easily.

Know your limits:

Sexual harassment is a hard line to draw. What is acceptable to one may be perceived as lewd behavior by another! So, when you feel uncomfortable with anything (ex: jokes), feel comfortable to communicate your discomfort right away to make the other person aware of your limits.

Who is to blame?

Sink this thoroughly into your awareness that you are not to blame and you are definitely not alone. If it helps, connect with a good and considerate friend or even better, someone who has gone through the same and discuss your situation with them.

Observe your feelings:

Take a note of your feelings and emotions related to this issue. Are there any emotional blocks? Are you able to move smoothly through life? Are you able to trust people in a balanced way or has it become almost impossible to do so? If you think you need help, you must approach a counselor to resolve the emotional blocks.

We all want to Build Mental Strength. It is a well-established fact that mentally strong people are more successful. We all want to be more successful, whether it is to have more money, better relationships, more success in the workplace etc. Given below are sure shot tricks to Building Mental Strength, which is the first step on your journey to being more successful.

Set reasonable goals and follow through with them:

When you set goals for yourself, don’t make them humongous, but set smaller more achievable goals. Instead of saying that I will walk 10 KM today, and then fail and disappoint yourself, make an achievable goal, that I will walk 1 KM today. Achieve the goal, and celebrate it. Tomorrow slowly increase the distance, and over a period of time meet your goal of walking 10 KMs

Make yourself strong against negativity:

Remove negative people from your life, create a distance between yourself and them. Interact with them less and less. Setup your mental mindset to ignore negative people, negative thoughts, and negative instances in life.

Use positive self-talk to build your mental and emotional strength:

Always talk to yourself positively, never negative talk to yourself. Never tell you self that you are incapable of doing something. Always coach yourself positively and give yourself positive and uplifting motivation and messages.

Learn to stay calm under pressure:

If you are living the ECG of your life will be up and down, when it is down and there is pressure in your life. Learn to stay calm, the negative time will pass, and don’t even for a split second believe that if you get excited and don’t remain calm it will not happen. You need to build your ability to stay calm when you are under pressure.

Let go of the little things:

Don’t sweat the little stuff, learn to let go of the small stuff. People carry grudges for far too long. This is certainly not helping you, learn to let go of your anger and move forward.

Change your perspective:

Tough as this sounds, it is very doable, you need to change your perspective in life. In life there is nothing “right” or “wrong” (except in very rare cases). You need to change your perspective and change your mindset from “blame” to “ownership”. Don’t blame others for your problems, but take ownership of how you will be responsible for your own actions.

Have a positive outlook:

Having a positive outlook and attitude is half the battle won. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results. Live your life day by day and each day, start your day with a positive attitude, trying to get better and more mentally strong.

Unfortunately, people have a very wrong opinion that Mental Strength is something you either have or you haven’t. I am complete disagreement with this statement, in my extensive experience as a Psychologist, I have learned that Mental Strength is just another skill that can be learned by anyone.

Students and young adults spend significant number of hours on their smart-phones to access social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Youtube etc, but to blame social media for poor performance in examinations or wasting time when the student should be studying is incorrect.

What it real boils down to is self discipline; some students waste their time in watching TV, listening to music, reading books and magazines, gossiping or just simply day dreaming. What bothers parents with the smart phone is that small and handy device and that the student can in incognito access the internet on the phone when they should be studying.

Both the student and the parent should encourage self restraint when they are studying for exams, the parent should not have to monitor the student constantly.  The student needs to be given guidance on how much time they should be spending on social media, so that it doesn’t interfere with their studies.

As a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience my research and experience as a de-addiction specialist has led me to the following guidelines regarding social media:

During normal school and college days one should not exceed 45 minutes of social media everyday

During exam preparation, one should not spend more than 15-30 minutes per day on social media. This includes all platforms such as Facebook, Youtube, Instagram etc.

The student should know how to “reward” themselves with access to social media when they have completed chapter, subject, etc.

Accessing useful information on the internet to learn and prepare for exams should not be mistaken for wasting time on social media by the parents.

Exceeding these guidelines leads to social media addiction, which is no different from other forms of addiction.

Research shows that the attention span of normal students is of 50 minutes. Hence my advice is that after every 45-50 minutes of studying take a break of 10-15 minutes. In which you can do a relaxing activity such as stretching exercises, yoga, meditation, reading a book etc. Don’t relax by going to Facebook. My advice to students who are studying for exams regarding social media is as follows:

Remove the “Facebook” app from your phone. So every time you need to check Facebook from your phone, you need to open the browser and log in. Reinstall the app after your exams are over

Restrict yourself to 15-30 minutes of Facebook every day, and only go to Facebook when you need to reward yourself for a set of activities completed. If you target is to study 8 hours in a day, then only go to Facebook, once you have completed those 8 hours of study.

De-activate Facebook during this period

Install getcoldturkey.com on your device, this will limit the time you can access Facebook

If you feel that you don’t have self control when it comes to Facebook and other social media, hand over you phone to someone else for the period that you are studying

As a student you need to understand that by wasting your crucial pre-exam time of social media, and by not preparing for the exams, you are only cheating yourself, and nobody else.  You can pick up your social media friendships from where you left off after you are done with your exams.

Whoever thought that bullying was a childhood problem and as children grow up to be adults bullying ends, was extremely naive. Bullies come in all ages and sizes. If your neighbour or colleague at work is a bully, then you can learn to avoid them. But if your boss is bullying your career can have serious consequences. 

Many times, people have a problem in recognizing if their boss is a bully. Thus, they assume that the boss is “tough” It is important to understand what is bullying? Bullying is an unacceptable behavior among children or adults. Thus, Bullying is the use of force, coercion, threats, intimidation or aggressive behavior to dominate or subjugate others.

Given below are seven signs to recognize if your boss is a bully:

Verbally abuses you

Intimidates you on a regular basis

Questions your capabilities or your commitment

Intrudes on your privacy, spies on you

Undermines your work, and doesn’t allow you to succeed

Spreads rumors about you

Isolates you at work, doesn’t include you in team activities, and work related social activities

If you observe even a few of these traits in your boss, then there is a high likelihood of your boss being a bully. Also, there are specific steps that you need to take to protect yourself from his bullying; these may include keeping a detailed log of the “bullying” activities and also reporting his behaviour to HR.

If you find that the stress of dealing with a “bully” boss is taking a toll on your mental wellness, it is an excellent opportunity to meet with an experienced psychologist.

Not only does divorce impact your personal life, your standing in society, it can also have serious repercussions on your work life, and your performance in the office.

Divorce Counseling with Dr. Prerna Kohli

It seems like, divorce can have a direct impact on your salary, your increments, and bonuses. Your job performance will suffer and while your employers can’t legally terminate you for being divorced. But, drop in performance has serious ramifications.

Given below are the 7 impacts of divorce on your work-life:

Reduced Productivity: Firstly, research shows that it takes 5 years for a divorced employee to rebound to the same level of productivity.

Unable to Travel: Furthermore, divorced employees with children or other household responsibilities have a limitation on their ability to travel for work.

Disruptive Impact on the Organization:  In addition, if a key employee is undergoing divorce their absence physically and mentally from the office can have serious impact on the organization

Distraction: Another concern is, distracted employees work slower and make more mistakes at the workplace, this can a serious impact for those who operate heavy machinery. People who are in customer-facing roles get the impact.

Depression: Rather, depressed employees are less creative. Hence the quality of work gets the impact. Thus, People in advertising and other creative fields which involve design see the effect.

Reduced confidence: As a result, the feeling of rejection from the personal life manifests itself in the workplace.

Rebound Relationships: Consequently the divorced employee seeks emotional support in the workplace making them vulnerable to a more toxic situation.

Progressive companies, have EAP (Employee Assistance Programs) to aid their employees in this period. In conclusion, if you are contemplating divorce, or are in the process of divorce or in the post-divorce phase, it is highly recommended to meet with an experienced psychologist.

If you are working, then be you will suffer from work-related stress time to time.

Below are seven sure shot ways to manage stress at the office.

Eat well, sleep well:

You must have heard this a hundred times from your mother, but it is important. Get enough sleep whatever your body requires, six or seven or eight hours of sleep each night. Eat well, avoid oily fried foods, focus on fruits, dry fruits and nutritious and wholesome foods.

Exercise:

The best stress release is exercise, don’t miss your gym, yoga class, walk to whatever you do. If you don’t exercise, start immediately

Act not React:

Don’t react to a situation, instead think to calm and respond. Not every email needs to be read and replied immediately.

Meditate:

Learn to meditation, there are quick meditations you can do sitting in your seat for 2 – 5 minutes

Identify self-imposed stress:

Others creating stress for you is inevitable, but you creating stress for yourself in unnecessary. Manage your personal activities so you don’t create a rush and panic for yourself. Choose your wardrobe for work the night before. Polish you shoes at night, refuel your car tank the night before, do whatever it takes to reduce the stress you create for yourself.

Learn to cool down quickly:

Don’t allow one email, one phone call, one interaction with a stress creating situation ruin your entire day. Learn to cool down immediately.

Get some support:

When you feel that the stress is impacting your life, seek help immediately. Most good companies have an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) where they pay/subsidize visits to a psychologist/counselor.
