Webinar on "Physical Distancing- The real meaning"


A webinar on Physical Distancing- The real meaning was arranged by the Institute of Applied Psychology, University of the Punjab. Ms Mirrat Gul senior psychologist of Punjab Institute of Cardiology was the resource person. She emphasized that it is important to live mindfully and in the moment and reawaken oneself to the present, rather than dwelling on the past or anticipating the future. In times of pandemic mindfulness can be a tool to avoid self-criticism and can be helpful in identifying and managing difficult emotions. Faculty, students and volunteers of Covid-19 Mental health helpline found the session extremely helpful and learned practical tips to overcome stress, anxiety and depression and to become more relaxed.
