  Energy Check-In: What’s Draining You, What’s Filling You?

  As the year winds down, many students start feeling tired, stretched, or overwhelmed — especially those balancing work, study, and life responsibilities.
  This week, we’re focusing on energy awareness. Understanding what drains your energy and what recharges you is an important step in managing stress and staying grounded.

  Here are a few prompts to guide your self-check:

  What’s draining your energy lately?

  Examples may include:

  • Working long hours

  • Too many commitments

  • Messy or cluttered spaces

  • Negative self-talk

  • Lack of sleep

  What’s been giving you energy?

  You might notice things like:

  • Short breaks or walks

  • Quality time with someone you trust

  • Eating regularly

  • Doing one thing at a time

  • Keeping realistic expectations

  Taking a moment to reflect on your personal energy patterns can help you make small, meaningful adjustments in your daily routine.

  If you’d like support in working through stress, habits, or personal challenges, our Counselling Unit is here for you.

  Mini Reflection Journaling

  Dear Students,

  Taking just a few minutes each day to reflect on your experiences can significantly improve your wellbeing. Mini reflection journaling is a simple technique that allows you to notice your progress, set intentions, and manage stress.

  Try This Daily Reflection:

  • Write one thing you did well today

  • Set one small goal for tomorrow

  • Note something you’re grateful for

  
  

  Why It Works:
  Reflective journaling has been shown to enhance mental wellbeing, engagement, and self-awareness among students (Sudirman et al., 2023).

  You don’t need to write a lot, even a few lines each day can make a difference. Consider this a small, intentional pause in your busy schedule to recharge and refocus.

    Dear Students,

    As we enter November, many of you may be working on assignments, group projects, or preparing for assessments. It’s completely normal to feel the pressure at this point in the term.

    When things feel heavy, remember you don’t need big motivation to keep going. What really makes a difference are the small, steady steps you take each day.

    Here are a few gentle reminders to help you stay focused and balanced this week:

    • One goal at a time – Choose one thing you want to complete today and give it your full attention.
    • Take short breaks – Step away for a few minutes to stretch, breathe, or get a drink.
    • Rest and eat well – Your body and mind need energy to stay focused.
    • Ask for help early – Talk to your trainer or counsellor if you need support.

    You are doing better than you think. Progress isn’t about doing everything at once and it’s about showing up, one step at a time.

    Take a moment to look at this week’s poster below for more reminders and inspiration.
    You can also scan the QR code on the poster to book a confidential counselling session if you would like to talk to someone.

    Keep looking after yourself and steady progress is still progress.

    Kind regards,
    Student Counsellor
