Q – I often feel anxious about my career choices and financial stability. How can yoga help me gain clarity and confidence?

– P. Sah, Warwic

A: Anxiety about the future is natural, especially with modern life pressures. Poses like Tadasana (Mountain Pose) and Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II) cultivate grounding, stability, and presence, while Bhramari (Bee Breath) or Sama Vritti (Equal Breath) quiets mental chatter. I would also advise you to use reflective practices like journaling or creating a small mandala or intention board to focus your energy. Incorporate daily self-reflection (Svadhyaya) to gain clarity about priorities and values. Even a short, 5-minute grounding sequence in the morning can improve confidence and decision-making throughout the day. Insight comes steadily with consistent practice, not overnight. Trust in small, deliberate steps.
