CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMME - STRESS MANAGEMENT

 STRESS MANAGEMENT

January 15,2025

On January 15, 2025, in the afternoon session of the Capacity Building Programme on Stress Management, Arya welcomed us back with an energetic speech. This session, held in our college’s general hall in association with the IQAC and Counseling Cell, was designed to deepen our understanding of stress management and coping strategies.

The session began at 1:45 pm with an interactive activity where a few students were invited to talk about their abilities and skills. I, too, had the opportunity to speak, which was both enlightening and engaging. Dr. Bindhu then introduced the topic of stress management. She explained the concept of stress, distinguishing between distress and eustress, and introduced us to the HPA axis, which involves the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal gland. She elaborated on how cortisol functions during a 'fight or flight' response and discussed the roles of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The manifestations of stress and effective strategies to manage it were also covered.

Throughout the session, Dr. Bindhu made learning enjoyable by including interesting games that re-energized the participants. These activities highlighted the importance of staying mindful and present. The session also delved into fundamental stress management techniques, including understanding stress triggers, coping mechanisms, and effective communication.. Dr. Bindhu emphasized the importance of applying these skills in real-life scenarios and the consequences of neglecting them.

The program concluded with a self-realization exercise involving breathing techniques and sensory stimulation, leaving everyone feeling refreshed and inspired. Following this, there was a doubt-clearing session where participants actively engaged with the speaker. Haseena delivered the vote of thanks, expressing our collective gratitude to Dr. Bindhu for her insightful session. We all reflected on the session’s lessons and appreciated the opportunity to learn and grow.

This afternoon session was not only informative but also deeply impactful, equipping us with practical tools to handle stress and enhance our personal and professional lives.

  TEACHING PRACTICE WEEK 4 : Monday (04/08/2025) to Friday (08/08/2025) REFLECTION ON SCHOOL EXPERIENCE 04/08/2025-Day 17 On the 17th day of my first phase of teaching practice, I reached the school by 9:00 am. After reporting to the office and signing the attendance register, I took up my assigned discipline duty in the High School section. Following the morning prayer, we settled in our allotted rooms. Since it was Monday, I did not have any subject hours scheduled. A little later, my concerned subject teacher, Renija Miss, entrusted me with the responsibility of completing the attendance register and the Noon Feeding attendance register for her class. This task was a new learning experience for me, as I wasn’t previously aware that a separate register existed specifically for noon feeding attendance. I successfully completed both registers. During the third period, I observed my peer teacher trainee’s class for 8th standard students. Overall, it was a good session. The teacher u...
