Student story: Understanding your emotions
|
|
Have you ever experienced a sudden, inexplicable low mood? Read how Doctor of Philosophy student, Le Tuong Van Vo, turns a personal experience into a powerful reminder of the importance of emotional awareness and social connection.
“One winter evening, I walked home after an ordinary day at university, feeling a wave of melancholy. I couldn’t clearly identify the feelings – a blend of loneliness, sadness, and perhaps even a touch of depression. The heaviness lingered, making me distant from others.
Later,
a friend visited me on campus. She gave me a warm hug, shared stories about her holiday, and asked how I was. We ended up having a long, comforting conversation. That day, I went home feeling much lighter. This experience helped me realise the reason for my unshakable mood: a lack of social connection. It also taught me how important it is to acknowledge emotions.
Here are some simple tips to cultivate emotional awareness:
• Name your emotion
• Trace the source
• Share your feelings
• Acknowledge your effort”
