Mangaluru: Once we manage ourselves, there is no need for stress management, said Counsellor Mamatha Achar. She was addressing the first year Under Graduate students of University College Mangaluru at Ravindra Kalabhavana recently. Stress can be avoided by good air through Pranayama, enough water, healthy food, walking, meditation, time management, connecting with good old friends and with hobbies.
“Mind should be like flowing water. Avoid negativity. Don’t complain always. Be happy and confident every day as you are blessed with another day,” she said.
Mamatha Achar agreed that there is a lack of awareness about counselling. “It is talking therapy. Here we maintain all your secrecy and give suggestions that may be helpful. Counselling and psychological intervention go hand in hand,” she added. Principal Dr Anasuya Rai was present. Head of the Political Science Department Dr Latha A. Pandit compered the event and Pavithra extended a vote of thanks.
