On Wednesday, 7th January 2015, Dr. S Srinivasan delivered a
lecture at SIMSREE on the topic of 'Stress Management by Staying Alert'. He is
the Chief Learning Officer at Wockhardt Foundation and MD at Wellness
Consultant and has four decades of experience in healthcare and human
behaviour.
He started off the discussion on a lighter note by explaining
how stress forms an integral part of our lives. He stressed upon the importance
of wellness and life skills by demonstrating several examples. Striking a balance
between work and personal life is of essence and stress management involves
mutually balancing the two in order to lead a stress free life. Stress is not
what happens to us but how we react to whatever happens to us. In order to
manage stress, we have to manage our reaction and not the stressor. And only an
alert mind can manage its own reaction. So it is imperative that we stay alert
and control our emotions and reactions to a particular situation.
He further emphasized the importance of 5S management in
lifestyle which includes – sleep, sex, snacks, stamina and spirits. By using
the 5S, we can manage the 6th S i.e. soft skills and get ready to
tackle the 7th S which is ‘Stress’.
Dr. Srinivasan explained the concept of 'Amygdala effect' and
also how different parts of the brain help generate different emotions and
responses to a particular situation, sometimes increasing the stress levels. He
emphasized upon the difference between 'high road' and 'low road' and how
managing the two leads to effective management of individual stress levels. He
then shared some anecdotes of how people who overcome their limitations and
inhibitions lead a 'Balanced Life'.
We are really thankful to him for giving us great insights into
the literal meaning of the word 'Stress' and giving us some tips in order to
overcome it. The entire session ended on a positive note and it turned out to
be a great learning lesson for all of us.
