Reshma gets very stressed during any competition. The counsellor advised her to use positive imagery and imagination to reduce her stress. Identify the stress management technique advised by the counsellor:

Creative visualisation

The correct answer is Option (4) → Creative visualisation

The counsellor advised Reshma to use positive imagery and imagination to handle stress. This technique is called creative visualisation.

"Creative Visualisation : It is an effective technique for dealing with stress. Creative visualisation is a subjective experience that uses imagery and imagination. Before visualising one must set oneself a realistic goal, as it helps build confidence. It is easier to visualise if one’s mind is quiet, body relaxed and eyes are closed. This reduces the risk of interference from unbidden thoughts and provides the creative energy needed for turning an imagined scene into reality.".
