Sushmita Sen
challenges and difficulties

She is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing herself freely and openly is not easy for Sen. Sushmita Sen tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of her "performance" is an important task for Sushmita.

Sushmita Sen takes both her work and her health very seriously, but she may demand so much of herself at work that she compromises her health. Sushmita can become a workaholic, not so much because she has lofty ambitions, but because she never feels like she has done enough. Sushmita Sen is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that she may not enjoy it at all.

Sen can also get overly involved in self-improvement or her health, and she tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

Sushmita Sen becomes tense and upset rather easily. She becomes irritated by the unwillingness of others to make changes. In her eagerness to see her inspirations materialize, Sen is inclined to forego tact and diplomacy in favor of achieving her goals. Her occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

She is likely to find it hard to make decisions, looking forward to the future with great enthusiasm on the one hand, but afraid of misjudgments on the other. Never quite sure about anything, Sushmita Sen may periodically withdraw from situations and people.

Because she is somewhat inhibited when initiating relationships with others, Sushmita Sen may prefer to be by herself. Sushmita may feel that she does not fit in very well with others and as a result, may have difficulties with team-work.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Sushmita Sen instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Sushmita Sen needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

She is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on her path, but when under stress Sushmita Sen becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what she has, she is apt to ignore the subtle signals she receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Sushmita Sen needs to learn the limits of her ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for her. Sen also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward her appetites and desires, as Sushmita Sen tends to overindulge and/or deny herself excessively.

It is in fostering a personal vision or philosophy of life, whether through religious or philosophical studies, education or the wisdom of distant lands or cultures that Sushmita Sen is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Sushmita Sen needs to cultivate the qualities described above in this endeavor. Long distance communication and involvement with foreigners is likely to be significant to Sen.

The following are specific activities that will support Sushmita Sen in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Sen, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

Sushmita Sen should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put herself "out there", be seen and shine. Sushmita needs to be willing to take on a leading role. She needs to be a hero - a protagonist in her own story - by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities she possesses. Doing creative work that she is proud of - anything that comes from Sen's heart and bears the stamp of Sen's individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than she is a way for Sushmita Sen to grow and become more whole herself.

Sushmita Sen has to learn to communicate and express herself through the written or spoken word. It is best for Sushmita to study, learn skills and develop her intellectual interests and capacities. Sen needs to become involved in sharing and exchanging information with others and in developing her intellectual reasoning ability. Sushmita Sen should practice using her mind, her thinking skills and her ability to be objective. "Work smarter, not harder" might be a motto for her.

Writing, teaching, recording, transcribing, dialoguing, negotiating, mediating, communicating, or facilitating clear communication are significant activities for Sushmita Sen to pursue.

Sushmita Sen tends to be fascinated by new and obscure things and may be strongly attracted to the occult. She may contribute to the spontaneous forming of groups and may gain spiritual enlightenment together with others.
