So recently I have been getting this urge that I should worship Shiv and Shiv only. Due to blockages in my career, I went to many astrologers and all of them gave many remedies, and some of them even gave amulets, rings and crystals too, but I quite don't see any result so far, a bit of changes have happened here and there.

But one thing was common in all of them, which was to worship Shivji. All of them told me that He is my Ishta Devata. So I want to know from the people of this sub, please guide your fellow human on how I start? What fasts can I observe? What all I can do? Is there any book recommendation or any blog or article? Anything which will guide me?

This is a serious post please reply with kindness and seriousness, so I am 24F, I will turn 25 this October. I was thinking of giving BPSC but I am heavily worried about my age. That I am too old now, by the time I clear it I will be so old, who even knows if I clear it or not, I am overthinking a lot. Idk what to do! I am not able to manage corporate, it's toxic. Idk when will I be able to clear it🥲

Edit : Thank you to everyone who commented and motivated me to pursue it. I am grateful to all of you kind humans🥹🙏🏼.

Today I successfully completed 2 weeks of clean eating, and haven't touched sugar since. To be honest I don't feel any great change in my body obv, but yes it's only the beginning but I am so happy that I managed to stay consistent 🥹. It's a big deal for me as I used to eat a lot (most of that overeating came from stress) but somehow I do feel light. And I promise to keep this habit forever.🙏

For context, I am someone who used to believe in Astrology a lot and would try to associate every bullshit with the movements of stars as if trying to get validated. And I have wasted so much money on it running from one astrologer to another only in a hope of getting some real time practical guidance but none of them matched with each other, every other one would say different thing and I am now confused and have come to a conclusion that it's all bullshit, they make money out of your vulnerability and offer you stupid stones and crystals which are so expensive, it doesn't have any scientific proof. If it was all real the poor wouldn't have remained poor, why are they still struggling?

It's all coincidence that by chance these people are born into an affluent families and now they preach that it was Astrology all along 🫤😑.

All you gotta do is sit with yourself and reflect on your behaviour and mindset. That's it. That's how you can help yourself.
