Akshata Rana’s Post

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Habit Coach at Curefit - house of cult 🌻

Hello everyone! 🌻 I’m glad to share that yesterday I had the golden opportunity to organise a well-being session for the fresher trainees at Larsen & Toubro. The session aimed to help the trainees in order to build their own stress management toolkit at workplace as they enter into the real corporate world right after their training. Focusing much upon the importance of awareness of emotions, impact of stress on the body and behaviour, mindfulness techniques were introduced in context with common challenges faced in the workplace/ work-sites. Having to interact with the fresh faces of the organisation and looking at their energy, the session was about sustaining this spirit even under pressure. Now-a-days, the importance of mental health and stress management is coming much in the picture in almost all the settings including corporates and larger industries like these. Even though hussel culture is popularised, we need to talk about balance. A talk about burnout, work life balance, stress and health, mental health at work, importance of identifying correct resources and people in adversity at work. We need to have a talk that matters. The Well-being Talk.! And importance of this is now more than ever when we have researches after researches pointing towards how much the stress levels have elevated post COVID. Glad that I could contribute my bit through such sessions, through my initiative, TheWellbeingTalk ( https://lnkd.in/dznRTPgw) I look forward to having more and more of such programmes for the communities and varied other settings and even if the change is as small as the grain of rice, it matters.! Lastly I’d like to thank my parents for always being supportive of my initiatives, Mr. Neerav Bansal for being truly proactive in connecting me with Nidhi ma’am and her too for the kind support she showed. Dr Anupama Sadasivan Thank you to you too! for hyping me up and seeing the capability in me to do wonders! As one of the trainees quoted in the session “I believe that the session was upon something that people generally don’t think is important but actually is”, let’s move with one step at a time towards change. 🌻 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mindfulness #stressmanagement #corporatehealth #wellbeing #healthpsychology

A step, as small as acknowledging your breath in this moment, counts when you begin to care for yourself 🤍 Long and slow breaths allow you to be aware of your emotions and certainly do enormously good to your body by activating your parasympathetic nervous system or simply, the calming system of your being 🌸 What are your small steps to feel a little closer to yourself? #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #stressfreeliving #thewellbeingtalk

I am happy to share that I recently completed a course on managing emotions in times of Uncertainty and stress offered by Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence via Coursera, well instructed by Marc Brackett. Acknowledging the fact that times during and post COVID-19 have been really uncertain for all of us, it is important that we know proper management of our difficult emotions. Being the believer of the fact that Health is beyond just the absence of illness, the course adds value to my learning by illustrating the importance of knowing our emotions and navigating our way through it. I hope my learnings help me serve my community better and keep me going on this journey of self-awareness. #psychology #emotions #emotionalwellbeing #healthandwellness #healthawareness #counselling #healthpsychology

As long as work provides a sense of purpose in one's life and enhances well-being, it can also do the opposite if not balanced with occasionally checking in with your personal needs. Lately, organisations are focusing on employee well-being and as much as the concern is still limited to Western companies and the concept is still emerging in India, we need to learn personal techniques to keep our minds and body in balance with our surroundings. Long work hours can be hectic but simple acts of moving around, staying hydrated, taking breaks, stretching etc., can make a big difference at a personal level. The need for Organisational well-being is actively coming into the picture these days. Not only practising these simple techniques but also understanding their significance will motivate employees to indulge in these self-care practices, and that is precisely where our role as health psychologists comes in.! #healthandwellness #organisationalwellbeing #mentalhealthawareness #workplacementalhealth #healthpsychology #healthandwellbeing #selfcarematters #physicalhealth #mentalhealth #bridgingthegap
