It was while working on her podcast that Mumbai-based graphologist and high performance coach Aditi Surana realised that most people she encountered were experiencing anxiety. "And then Covid-19 happened. Uncertainty triggers anxiety to another level, even for those who aren't diagnosed with it. It was going to be a hard time, so I asked myself what I can do to help," says Surana about starting her 21-day anti-anxiety journaling workshop on Instagram.

Through the workshop, which has been available online for eight days, Surana says she aims to provide tools that can help address minute irritants and paralysing anxiety. "There are three co-dependent aspects. The first part begins with me asking viewers a question every day, to stir the pot of thoughts that is brushed under the carpet. For instance, right now, in most of us, there is a certain disappointment as we can't be where we wish to. So in one of the sessions, I asked, 'What do I require to do in this situation?' This shifts the focus from what's not working to what one can do to better it," the graphologist explains.
