Feeling stressed? Hit The Mental Gym
Written by Longjam Dineshwori | Updated : July 9, 2022 1:31 PM IST
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a huge toll on our mental health. When the nationwide lockdown was enforced to curb the spread of the viral infections, most academic institutions and offices switched to online mode. Adjusting to the new norms wasn’t easy, and now retuning to the offline working mode is turning out to be even more difficult. Several studies have shown a significant increase in the number of people who report symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia during the pandemic. So, mental health matters more now than ever before.
You do exercise to keep your body fit, but what do you do to stay mentally and emotionally fit? Hit the gym, that’s right!
Aspire Perform Transform (APT) has launched India’s first mental gym to make India mentally fit. It is set to commence the first session on July 10, while registrations will open from June 28. There would be hourly online sessions conducted by Aditi Surana, high-performance coach, behavioural analyst, keynote speaker and podcaster. She is also the founder of APT mental gym.
