The importance of building self-esteem and practicing self-affirmation to turn any negative energy into positive one was well discussed.

Activities conducted:

Initially participants were asked about their expectations from the session. Few breathing exercises were practiced among the participants during the session as a technique to overcome anger. The facilitators demonstrated a few role play activities to express anger in a healthy way. All the facilitators were awarded with crests as a token of appreciation from WSIF. A short meditation at the end of the sessions gave the audience an amazing experience.
