  • Select activity Individual Wellbeing Reflection 4

    

    Individual Wellbeing Reflection 4 Assignment

    Completion

    Students must

    

    Make a submission

    Watch these two videos: 

    The Unwelcome Party Guest – metaphor (4.20 min):  

    Passengers On A Bus (5 min)  

    As it was presented on the videos, our “unwanted guests” or “passengers” in our mind, can influence how we end up using our time. They can even prevent us from going towards what is important for us. When we face situations that require courage to try without having the certainty of the outcome, a bunch of uncomfortable feelings can try to stop us from taking the leap of fate. Take a look at the vicious cycle of avoidance.  

    
    
    

    Question for reflecting on your own:  

    One part of psychological flexibility is that “I accept that I have thoughts and feelings, I have a history and that there are things I can’t change. But I change what I can: my actions”. 

    Take a moment to reflect on your own what this could mean for you and your team.
