A significant number of mental wellness crises have been experienced throughout the country. During the counselling sessions in Mind's Eye (A Kolkata based psychological counseling and rejuvenation center), the same has been experienced among the counsellees from different districts of West Bengal. Majority of them were from middle or lower income groups who came with a inimical mental condition. People were mystified to live a life with a positive psychological status. The negative state of mind caused them a detrimental state of being with anxiety, stress, insecurity, and incompetence. In this study, Participants (n=48, 27 males, 21 females, M Age = 18.42, SD Age = 3.71, Age range = 12-24 years) with moderate levels of psychological well being as measured by Ryff's Psychological Well Being (PWB) scale (42 items) were selected. Participants practiced four Guided Imagery (GI) sessions with personalized scripts and their pre-and post-state of well being were measured before the first session and after the last session. A metacognitive approach was taken to track down their crisis zone and prepare the personalized scripts. It was anticipated that the post session PWB scale values will be improved. The findings confirm the significant improvement in mental wellbeing through personalized GI intervention and these interventions have helped to ameliorate confidence in personal opinions, situations handling, feelings of continued personal development, sense of meaning and directedness in life, trusting interpersonal relationship, and self-acceptance.

We are here to have some ideas of Self Esteem and Body Image and the Relationship with each other and also Why it is important to know or to have a concept Self-esteem First let us have knowledge of Self-esteem: Estimation of self by self only. WE LIVE IN TWO WORLDS 1) The objective world (the world outside, everything outside of us) For example, the places, people and events around us that we can't change (where we live, the College we go to, parents, friends and others). 2) The subjective (internal) world (our internal world, what's inside our minds) for example, our thoughts, beliefs, wishes, feelings and dreams (how we perceive what we do and what happens to us). The Objective World we perceive from the 1. behavior of the person towards me 2. the reflection of the eyes of the person I meet or talk 3. people staring when I walk on the road 4. etc. The Subjective World is our internal world: 1. how I think, the error in thinking 2. the concept of mine when I speak, the intelligence and clarity of thought 3. the values and tradition built in me when I groomed in my family

Before Lockdown we saw the situation in Italy and America only seriously in all News Channels as people of Italy suffered a lot as they are the enthusiast nation, they could not stop themselves from socialization and we expected America to invent a way out : but it is not so easy: most miserable suffering of human being starts in the year 2020 in all over the world that no one can imagine before its out break in the form of pandemic. On 30th May, it was announced that lockdown restrictions were to be lifted from then onwards, while the ongoing lockdown would be further extended till 30 June for only the containment zones. It was termed as "Unlock 1.0". Modi, the prime Minister of India later clarified that the lockdown phase in the country was over and that 'unlock' had already begun.
The second phase of Unlock, Unlock 2.0, was announced for the period of 1 to 31 July, with more ease in restrictions. Unlock 3.0 was announced for August and started phase wise Unlock and that is still going on throughout the country.
Being a mental health professional I became curious to see the effect of Lockdown over the human mental health and how they started combat with it along with Covid 19: the fight began from the early lockdown period when some of our young employees offered a mail just next day after the declaration of 14 days continuous lockdown stating the termination of their job because of an unavoidable situation : really the lives of young employees became locked down : they were the newly appointed staff with an annual package Rs 2,64,000/- to 3,00,000/-. I was informed by our junior trainees’ group that they were simple knocked out from their services and remain unemployed till date; nation’s mental health suffers a lot and it is not only from unemployment along with came other factors which is related to new mode of living which is absolutely unexpected devising the whole mankind seriously awkward creating absolute chaos in natural living inviting words like New-normal, Quarantine, Work from home (WFH), Social distancing, Online learning, Virtual classroom, Sanitizing, Mask of different kinds, Virtual Platform, Virtual Travelling etc. So a new mode of adjustment begins which brings new challenges : my searching is for getting a answer of “is human life ready psychologically for this techno equipped infrastructure to sustain these changes?” -I am searching for developing mental well being along with adjustment with this new normal lifestyle among the people who constantly stay after in finding healthy alternatives being in Covid -19 situation.
