Under the Maximise Happiness 2021 initiative, Chinmaya Mission Mumbai, Chinmaya Prakash Zone organized a talk on the subject `Emotional Hygiene’ on Sunday 6 June 2021.
The talk, by Dr. Sunitha Shankar, touched upon myths and facts about emotional hygiene. She explained that all negative emotions are not bad and that often even strong people can’t control their emotions. Every individual has a different emotional threshold and emotions can’t just be stopped. She also explained how one can practice emotional hygiene. Regular small steps fetch rich rewards. One should be compassionate to oneself and to others. One should not ruminate over emotions. Dr. Sunitha also advised those who find themselves getting swayed by emotion to maintain a gratitude journal and to do some form of physical exercise.
The talk was attended by about 90 participants.
