Journaling Workshop: Feel the Feels, Fill the Page

Filling the first page of a journal could be intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. Through simple prompts, we’ll explore together how putting your thoughts on paper can help process emotions and find clarity. 

Anchor Your Inner Source of Energy in Uncertainty
連繫EMO中的內在能量

What do you usually do when feeling overwhelmed? Understanding those actions is essential to take care of yourself! 

Join us for a 2-hour self-discovery journey where you will identify your sources of energy in daily life. You will explore your typical emotional patterns—the feelings that arise most often, the corresponding actions you take, and the underlying needs within. By the end of this workshop, you’ll develop greater autonomy in coping with uncertainty, helping you to firmly anchor yourself amidst the challenges you face. 

當你EMO時，通常會做些什麼呢？了解這些行動是照顧自己的重要方式！ 

誠邀你參與一場為時兩小時的自我探索旅程，一起發掘你日常生活中的能量來源。你將覺察自己的慣常情緒模式，包括常見的情緒反應、相應的行動，以及背後的需求。 完成工作坊後，你將能夠培養更自主的調適力，讓自己在面對未知和挑戰時站穩陣腳。

Decision Making with Emotional Insight

Emotions influence how we think, act, and make choices—often more than we realise. When we learn to understand these emotional signals, we gain clarity and make decisions that better reflect our needs and values. 

In this 2-hour workshop, participants will explore how emotions shape decision-making, identify the needs and values beneath emotional reactions, and reflect on how greater awareness leads to more grounded, value-aligned choices. Through relatable campus scenarios and guided reflection, this workshop supports students in navigating challenges with emotional clarity and confidence.  

This workshop covers: 

• How emotions influence thoughts and actions 
• Emotional patterns and what drives them 
• Needs and values underlying emotional responses 
• Making decisions with greater awareness and alignment
