Speaking exercise


When you lose something it is like what is meaningful you is not meaningful again so I am confused.
I am thinking to go out for a travel but I may think about more if I am alone on travel.
I never met this kind of things and after my graduation I have around 10 years working experience and I never questioned and I was always focusing on my work and this is the first time I am not focused on it.  When you do not focus on work you realize in the world there is nothing else . you lose this focus you need to find another focus

I never think about this kind of question before. It is just like we launch and have a lot of communication all with people but it is always the same and recently I just realize that life is so short and I don’t want to waste my time on something that is not meaningful to me. But what is the thing that is meaningful to me is what bothers.

In some way it helps me and the reason I am interested in it. Is so many people they will have some tough time during their life and they don’t know they can actually find helps from a psychologist and they find other ways that can hurt others or themselves . And my psychologist told me that I have that potential but my work is I haven’t resigned yet so I don’t have the time to explore this so I am quite like struggle because if I give up my current work it is quite a big thing. I spent so many years to go here. Maybe because I try to find things to avoid things too much. I am not so sure about that. I don’t know how people get over something very tough. I think for men it is more easily to get over things. Because women are more emotional.
I read a lot of books recently cause I don’t believe meditation and a lot of people go to gym to train their body and I found my heart is fragile. It is so interesting that when you betray by people in your mind a lot of voices. Someone is good like/someone in your mind is evil / it’s just so many voices. I read some books and this is telling me that this is all the things that you don’t want to accept. If you accept it it is the way you can get out of it.

When you look at the mirror you feel this is not me, I am so old and you don’t feel that confidence.


When you lose something it makes you question what is really meaningful. so I am confused.
I am thinking to go out for a trip but I am worried I may think too much if I travel alone.
I never met this kind of situation/ I have never been in this kind of situation. I have around 10 years working experience and I never questioned the purpose and I was always focusing on my work and this is the first time I am not focused on it.  When you do not focus on work you realize the world is not limited to work. You lose this pillar you need to find another pillar.

I have never thought about this kind of question before. There was a routine, we launch a campaign and have a lot of communication with people but it is always the same and recently I just realized that life is so short and I don’t want to waste my time on something that is not meaningful to me. But what is the thing that is meaningful to me is what bothers me the most. / is hard to define / I don’t have an exact answer yet

In some ways it helps me and that is the reason I am interested in it.  So many people will have some tough time during their life and they don’t know that they can actually get help from a psychologist and they find other ways (to cope with the situation) that can hurt others or themselves.
And my psychologist told me that I have that potential/talent.
but I am still working/ But I am still at my current position. I haven’t resigned yet so I don’t have the time to explore this so I kind of struggle because if I give up my current job/position it is quite a big thing. I spent so many years to get here.
Maybe the reason I want to study psychology is that I want to find some distractions/Maybe the idea of studying psychology itself is a distraction.
I try to find a way/a new focus to avoid things. I am not so sure about that/ I am still figuring it out. I don’t know how people get over something very tough. I think for men it is easier to get over things. Because women are more emotional.

I read a lot of books recently cause I didn’t believe in meditation and a lot of people go to gym to train their body and I found my heart is fragile.
/Most people realize they need to train their body to stay in good physical health but they forget that the mind needs training too.
It is so interesting that when you are betrayed/stabbed in the back by people. You hear a lot of voices in your mind. / your conscience speaks to you. one tells you that the positive side while one questions everything. it’s just so many voices.
I read some books and this is telling me that you need to accept bad things that happen to you. Once you accept it you can get over it.

When you look in the mirror I don’t recognize myself, you feel so old and you don’t have that confidence you had before/you once had.
