A workshop on ‘Managing Stress’ was conducted by Ms. Priyanka Rawlley on the 3rd of August 2012. This workshop was for the benefit of all the teaching staff members of G.D.Goenka World School. The session began with the revival of childhood memories. The participants were made to run around in the hall to energize themselves and charge the atmosphere with zeal and vigor.
The workshop involved the teachers not only physically but intellectually as well. Ms. Rawlley engaged the participants in simple games and active spells of discussion to highlight profound concepts. All present agreed to the concept of putting in one’s 100% for every task one was involved with. The workshop coordinator emphasized upon the crucial role one’s mind played in governing one’s actions; which in turn determined the quality of one’s life. She also brought to light the importance of every breath one took and the strong link between the internal mind and the external environment. The practicum concluded with a simple exercise wherein all the partakers were taken on a mental guided tour and induced to internalize within themselves. Each member left the workshop with many points to ponder over.
