A THRIVE Event

Welcome to your Wellbeing Pit Stop - we want you to take a moment and PAUSE. We all want to do our best, but that shouldn't come at the cost of your wellbeing.

Working hard or studying for hours on end? Stop by us in Study @ Bloom to pick up a free coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, and maybe a wellbeing activity to give you a break from the usual - including puzzles, colouring, and more. Whether you stop by for 5 minutes or 60 minutes, we hope you leave with a clearer mind than when you started.

All THRIVE events and activities are set up to align with the PERMA model of positive psychology and are designed to meet at least TWO of the model's five core elements of wellbeing: Positive Emotions; Engagement; Relationships; Meaning; and Accomplishment.

Here's how this activity meets the model:

ENGAGEMENT

It's all well and good that you're focusing on your deadline, but when was the last time you focused on something else? If you're grabbing a tea, sit and think about the warmth, the flavour, the smell. Taking a moment to do some colouring? Think about the colours you choose, the patterns you're following, the gentleness of the pencil. Engage in pausing and/or playing. You'll be able to return back to your work feeling lighter and, even better, you'll feel rested for the sake of resting.

MEANING

It's easy to get swept up in to-do lists and stress, but life is more than that. We can forget who we are and why we're here when we're overwhelmed. Re-centre yourself, reflect, and remember that there's more than what's stressing you out. What do you care about outside of all this? What are you passionate about? What are you missing? And what are you going to do next? Pausing could help you answer those questions.
