Paul Webley S312,
what if stress could just… melt?
everyone's telling you to calm down, don't stress, just be yourself.
alright cool. but how tho?
no one actually taught us that. not at school, not at home. we're just expected to figure it out.
one bad interaction and your whole day's gone left. someone's moving weird, now you're overthinking. life's too short to let other people control your mood like that.you're meant to be the main character, not an extra in someone else's drama.
so we've got this 4-session workshop at SOAS. we're talking learning how to manage your emotions, how to not carry stress home, back yourself properly and express yourself without overthinking every little thing.
bit of breathing. loads of games. good people. and you leave with actual mates and a community that's got you throughout uni :)
the breathing technique we teach, called SKY, has actually been studied at Yale and universities around the world. it's been clinically proven to address the biggest challenges facing students in London today - anxiety and loneliness.
research among student populations has found positive improvements in lowering the physiological markers of stress, on increasing focus and cognitive performance, and on reducing the symptoms of anxiety and depression. so nah, it's not just sitting in a room telling yourself to relax.
it's learning how to actually do it :)
no experience needed. just pull up with an open mind, an open heart and some comfy clothes.
the stress can stay outside 🤝
