Wellness Mustache
Wellness Mustache
Pursuing Wellness implies being able to experience health, happiness, peace and satisfaction. How to stay physically and mentally well? Let's check out some tips below!
Reward yourself with rest and recreation when you have done good work. Strengthen your self-confidence by reflecting on positive experiences daily.
When you feel tired or stressed out, take short breaks to relax and renew your energy. Develop relaxation skills and pursue leisure activities, such as sports, music, outings, handicraft, etc.
Develop personal strengths and resilience by reading inspiring books or pursuing self-enhancing experiences. Add laughter to your life by nurturing a sense of humour.
Develop and adhere to a realistic schedule to ensure a balanced daily routine as well as successful completion of important tasks.
Don't over-demand or over-criticize yourself as it can generate negative emotions and self-doubts. Recognize your own strengths and seek opportunities to actualize your potential.
Avoid unnecessary comparison with others which can lead to envy or jealousy. Seek continuous self-improvement by learning from positive role models.
Take care of your needs; develop a balanced diet, ensure sufficient rest and exercise regularly.
Spend quality time with family and friends; it helps to consolidate relationships and release negative emotions. Get involved in community activities to expand your social network.
Let's wear the "Wellness MUSTACHE" everyday to attain a healthy and balanced lifestyle!

Inner Peace
Peace While we are entitled to exercise our free will and freedom of speech in this city, it is inevitable that we would be facing different opinions.
During the past few days, have you gone into heated debates with friends or family? Did you unfriend anyone on Facebook because of their different views? This is definitely not a pleasant experience.
However, at the same time, have you seen strangers offering you refreshment or cleaning up your garbage? I guess you can't help feeling moved and amazed.
Try to make the world a better place with love and peace. Peace could be attained through respect and understanding. Listen and respect the differences in people while pursuing your own goal and mission. Therefore, you won't lose your inner peace and relationship while fighting for peace and justice.
Written by an American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr,
O God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed,
The courage to change what can be changed,
and the wisdom to know the one from the other
Reinhold Niebuhr, The Serenity Prayer
If you need any psychological counselling service or want to talk to us regarding your complicated feelings, please call 3943 7208 to make an appointment.

Smile your stress away!Ever got stuck with your study? Try holding a pen horizontally between your teeth and raise your eyes a little. Then look yourself at the mirror! You find yourself smiling, right? Keep that smile on your face and read on :) Psychological scientists Tara Kraft and Sarah Pressman of the University of Kansas found that students who were trained to smile like this were more able to cope with stressful tasks and recover from it. It also helps reduce the intensity of the body's stress response !

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!" shouted the White Bunny.
Are you like the iconic White Bunny in Alice in Wonderland? Chasing time, rushing, getting caught in busy-ness but never quite feeling at ease with time no matter how hard you try?
On the other hand, I am sure that you won't be late for concerts of your favourite band or singer. And there is no way for you to miss your first date with your crush!
So you do have that ability to keep time. How can you keep time on other occasions as well?
Here are 3 ways which help you to become the master of your time.

Dear postgraduate students,

The importance of happiness and well-being has been fully recognized by the United Nations as universal goals and aspirations in people's lives. A High-Level Meeting called "Happiness and Well-Being: Defining a New Economic Paradigm" was held in April 2012 and the first "International Day of Happiness" was recently held on 20 March 2014 . In fact, CU's Wellness and Counselling Centre (WACC) previously launched a Happy Campus Campaign in CU in 2008. To reinforce and perpetuate this worldwide trend of promoting well-being through happiness, WACC would like to launch a new campus wide campaign themed #CUsmile in 2014-2015.
#CUsmile --- The name carries a double meaning. CU is the abbreviation of the Chinese University of Hong Kong as well as "see you". This campaign aims at making CU-ers smile. When we see people around us smile, we are likely to smile and a positive atmosphere can blossom on campus. The smiles of CU-ers can even bring smiles to people far across the border as we will collaborate with Operation Smile, a charity helping children who suffered from cleft lips and palates in rural China. The proceeds of our campaign will go to Operation Smile.
Objectives
Activities
1) World Smile Day Charity Photo Booth
2) Instagram Photography Contest
3) Slogan Folder Design Contest and Charity Sale
