Are You Psychologically Unemployable?

October 28th, 2007 by admin in Work and Psychology

Does the idea of working for someone else make your stomach churn? Do you find the idea of having a job where someone else gets rich off of your work repulsive and intolerable? Then something like internet marketing or network marketing might be for you.

I recently heard the phrase, psychologically unemployable and I thought it was cute. It also fits me to a ‘T’. Like many people, I went to college and got a degree and then set out into the real world to find my livelihood. Only problem was, I felt like I was dying a little bit everyday I sat in a cubicle working some job that was making a faceless corporation rich at the expense of my happiness and freedom.

It took getting a part time job recently for the first time in 5 years to re-remind myself of that fact that I just can’t work for someone else. Actually, I took on the job to fill-in the hours where i wasn’t running my main business so as to raise some capital for my next 2 businesses. I find that I just can’t work for someone else and help them get rich at the expense of my life, time, dreams, and passions. I’d rather make myself rich and that’s not likely to happen by working for someone else. Read the rest of this entry »

When panic sets in?

October 20th, 2007 by admin in Panic Disorder

Crowds have never been a problem before and neither has speaking up in front of a large room of people, but all of a sudden it seems to send you into a nervous fit of shaking, sweating, increased heart rate and feeling nauseous. The room swirls and it feels like fainting is the next thing that is going to happen. What is this? What has caused the individual to experience one or more of these symptoms?

What this sounds like is a panic attack. Some people may have always experienced panic attacks in certain situations and others may never have had them until it suddenly springs on them out of nowhere. There are many reasons for a person going through a panic attack and all depend on the person who is having them. It could be that some repressed past history has been triggered in the subconscious and has led to the panic attack, the memory of a traumatic experience is triggered and the person can’t push the memory out of their head, or it could be caused by something that is not as easily recognized. A panic attack is something that comes around when someone feels threatened by something and feels as though they are going to come to serious harm if they follow through with something, such as getting into a car after having been through a serious car accident a few months before. Many of the symptoms associated with panic attacks consist of shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, nausea, shaking, increased heart rate and even physical pain in the form of headaches. All these symptoms are caused by the mind in the attempt to avoid danger that can cause serious harm to the individual. It comes from the natural instinct of survival. Fear, which is really the root cause of panic attacks, is a natural instinctual emotion that is triggered when the individual senses they are in a dangerous situation that they need to get out of immediately. Unfortunately, many people can have their fear get out of hand and this is what can result in panic attacks. Read the rest of this entry »
