On October 27th, 2023, the Ashhwika Foundation, a prominent mental health awareness NGO, collaborated with Centricity Invicuts One Digital at Sikandarpur to conduct an impactful workshop on Stress Management. The workshop aimed to equip participants with effective strategies to cope with stress, enhance mental resilience, and promote overall well-being. The session featured a diverse panel of experts including certified psychologist Sadaf Saeed, healing activity facilitator Shailja Sachdeva, and fitness expert Payal Grover.
The workshop commenced with an insightful presentation by certified psychologist Sadaf Saeed, who delved into the various aspects of stress, its impact on mental health, and practical techniques for stress management. Sadaf engaged participants in interactive discussions, mindfulness exercises, and stress-relief techniques to help them identify stressors, develop coping mechanisms, and foster a healthier relationship with stress.
Following the mind panel session, healing activity facilitator Shailja Sachdeva led a soul panel session focused on promoting emotional well-being and inner healing. Participants engaged in guided meditations, relaxation exercises, and creative activities aimed at reducing anxiety, improving mood, and fostering a sense of peace and balance.
To further emphasize the mind-body connection in stress management, fitness expert Payal Grover conducted an invigorating Zumba session as the body panel. Zumba, a high-energy dance workout, not only promotes physical fitness but also releases endorphins, improves mood, and reduces stress levels.
The workshop also included one-to-one sessions with certified psychologist Sadaf Saeed, where participants had the opportunity to discuss personal stressors, receive personalized guidance, and develop tailored strategies for managing stress effectively.
The holistic approach of the workshop, incorporating mind, soul, and body panels, provided participants with a comprehensive toolkit for addressing stress and promoting overall well-being. The collaboration with Centricity Invicuts One Digital facilitated a supportive and inclusive environment for learning, growth, and self-discovery.
The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the valuable insights, practical techniques, and personalized support provided during the workshop. Participants shared how the session had empowered them to implement positive changes in their lives, prioritize self-care, and navigate stressors with resilience and confidence.
The success of the Stress Management Workshop at Centricity Invicuts One Digital underscored the Ashhwika Foundation’s commitment to promoting mental wellness and empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives.
