Grover explains that our anxieties are linked to the way the situation is unfolding around us. “We’re so tuned into negative news; how can we have positive thoughts? We want to share with people how all of this affects one’s cognition and emotions, and offer relaxation techniques — like a ray of hope,” adds Grover, who founded Cognizavest with her husband Paras Grover and brother Manik Seth.

The first session, to be conducted by Grover and Aditya Sundaray, a forensic and counselling psychologist, is centred on working on our health during COVID-19. “Physical fitness impacts our mental health as working out releases endorphins that make us happy. In the workshop, we’ll focus on tai chi and yoga; certain asanas will be shown to improve breathing and focus on emotions. People will work out with us,” she informs us. The second session, spearheaded by Sundaray and Anmol Rana, an organisational psychologist and life coach, will be themed on working on your fear and anxiety. “Here, we’ll work on relaxation techniques and self-hypnosis,” Grover adds.

The final workshop will teach participants to work on their thoughts at a time when we’re stuck in a loop of bad news and worrying. It’ll be led by clinical psychologist Pragati Prasad and   counselling psychologist Dr Richa Tyagi. “This leads to a negative thought process. Our aim is to offer alternative positive thoughts,” she suggests. The workshops will all be activity-based, she says, adding, “None of us are alone. We’re going to get through this together.”
