Earlier this year, when the pandemic was still inits teething phase, I came across a headline in The Atlantic which read ¡°Coronavirus Is Creating A Huge StressfulExperiment In Working From Home¡±. ?Whilethe story addressed the stressors of WFH, lost creativity and companionship ¨Cthe following months triggered stress in varied ways.
Right from people losing their jobs to beinggeographically distanced from their loved ones and constantly fighting the fearof catching COVID ¨C 2020 has tested our mental health thoroughly.
But here¡¯s the thing ¨C at the end of the day, we allknow that cribbing isn¡¯t the solution. We need to actively engage ourselves infeel-good activities to plunge out of the lows. Renowned psychologist AseesKaur Chadha vouches for?¡®art therapy¡¯?to break free from stress, worries and triggers.
Looking at the soaring cases of anxiety and stress, Asees is gearing up to conduct her first virtual?art therapy session?on 27th August (Thursday) on MensXP Experiences. ??It will be a 1-hour long interactive group session involving art, writing and story-telling. Opening up about your deepest worries and liberating yourself from them will be the key highlight. ?Asees will teach the participants the fundamentals of therapeutic art that one can incorporate in his/her day-to-day life.
Additionally, you will also learn breathingexercises and relaxing techniques that¡¯ll help you cool down post a mentally exhaustingday. The session will help you clear blockages in communication and boostingself-confidence.
Take it from me ¨C just engaging with like-mindedindividuals who are in the same boat as you is a huge stress-buster in itself!
