WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:

PLAYING WITH EMOTIONS

All of us have emotions, good and bad. First thing we need to understand is that all emotions in us are due to chemical changes in our body. All the emotions like happiness, sad, depressed, crying, gratitude, anger, fear, greed, etc everything is an emotion. But in this we shall look at the emotions in a negative way. So now, the emotions are negative like anger , fear , depression , sad , crying ,fear , jealousy , irritation , etc. now let us get into the process. Whenever you experience any emotion, like anger or crying, these 2 are the best things with which you can play. So when you start crying for something , cry for some time and then stop crying for some time and again start , the emotions should be under your control , do the same thing for anger as well. Increase the anger and decrease anger as per your wish. When you do this you will master your mind and your mind will be your slave. Encourage the children to discuss how they will apply this technique in their day-to-day life.
