“嘿，你今天感觉怎么样？”

525心理健康系列活动

5月23日至25日中午，在甄陶楼开展了为期三天的心理健康系列活动。活动以绘画、问答和涂鸦为主线, 引领学生探索情绪的世界。该系列活动旨在为学生提供一个与情绪建立更深层次联系的机会，帮助他们了解自己的情感世界，提高自我认知和情绪调节能力。

DAY 1

在第一天的活动中，学生们通过在四块彩色画板和120个色块上绘画表情，表达内心的情感。他们将不同的情绪赋予不同的颜色，用艺术的方式与自己的情绪建立联系。在朋友的陪伴下，他们倾听自己内心的声音，将平时被忽略的情感化为色块和线条。有些同学还将自己喜欢的卡通人物和小动物融入创作中，形象地展现自己的情绪体验。在创作过程中，学生们以各自独特的方式展现了各种不同的情感，如兴奋、愉悦、茫然、委屈、不安等。完成作品的过程中，帮助学生们认识到每一种情绪都是个体当下真实的体验，是独一无二的感受，值得被允许和尊重。这样的活动有助于学生们认识和表达自己的情感，增强情绪识别和表达能力，提高情绪管理能力。

DAY 2

在第二天的中午，学生们参加了围绕心理健康相关话题的趣味问答活动。这些话题包括抑郁焦虑的表现、改善拖延的方法、性别平等、提高自尊心的方法等内容。题目选项设计巧妙，令人意想不到。错误选项中有的反映了大众对心理健康的常见误解，有的则是充满创意的回答。学生们争先抽签回答问题，并与同伴们热烈讨论，使学习变得生动有趣。同学们在轻松愉快的氛围中学习了心理健康知识，提高了对心理学这门学科的客观认识和主观兴趣。

DAY 3

第三天中午的活动将正念和艺术巧妙结合，让学生们体验涂鸦鹅卵石的乐趣。学生们从一堆石头中挑选自己中意的一颗，跟随老师的指导，在小石头的表面释放情感，用笔尖表达自我。这项活动让学生们慢下来，并通过绘画这种不加评判的方式记录情绪，加强了与自己感受的体验。正如温迪-安·格林霍尔在她的书《正念与绘画艺术》中所述：“当我们的思维放松、完全沉浸并进入状态时，我们进入一种以开放、宽敞的意识为特征的状态。”20多颗小石头上的印迹记录下了学生们与自己情绪之间的对话，彰显了每一位学生独一无二的内心感受。

尽管忙碌的生活可能让我们忽视个人的内心感受，但每个人都应该认真对待和关注自己的情感体验。这些心理健康系列活动能够使学生意识到寻找合适的情绪表达方式的重要性，同时提高情绪的识别和表达能力，更好地管理自己的情绪，保持心理健康。

A three-day Mental Health Awareness Promotion Event was held in the Zhen Tao Building from May 23-25. The activities of the day were based on drawings, quizzes, and doodles that led students to explore the world of emotions. The series of activities was designed with the intent to give students an opportunity to connect more deeply with their emotions, help them understand their mental world, improve their self-awareness, and develop emotional regulation skills.On the first day of the event, students expressed their inner emotions by drawing expressions on four colored boards and 120 color blocks. They gave different colors to different emotions and connected with their emotions in an artistic way. Accompanied by their friends, they listened to their inner voices and transformed emotions that are usually ignored into blocks of color and lines. Some students chose to incorporate their favorite cartoon characters and small animals into their creations to graphically represent their emotional experiences. During the creation process, students expressed excitement, joy, confusion, resignation, and anxiety in their own unique ways. The process of completing the work helped students realize that each emotion is an individual's real experience in the moment, a unique feeling that is worthy of respect and validation. Such activities work to help students recognize, identify and express their emotions; with the goal of improving their emotion management skills.At noon on the second day, students participated in a fun quiz on topics associated with mental health. Some of topics included ways to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as focusing on developing skills to deal with procrastination, gender equality, and self-esteem. The quiz was cleverly designed, and some of the answers are unexpected, reflecting common misconceptions about mental health. Conversely many answers were creative, unique, and insightful. Students answer the questions and engaged in lively discussions with their peers. Students learned about mental health in a relaxed and fun atmosphere, increasing their understanding and engagement with psychology.The lunchtime activity on the third day skillfully combined mindfulness and art, allowing the students to experience the fun of pebble doodling. Students chose one of their favorite stones and followed the teacher's instructions to release their emotions through painting and artistic expression. This activity allowed the students to slow down and record their emotions in a non-judgmental way, enhancing the experience of being connected with their feelings. As Wendy-Ann Greenhalgh states in her book, Mindfulness and the Art of Drawing, "We no longer need to think of the future or the past – we are only in the present moment. We don't have to force anything or make anything happen, it happens naturally – it flows." The imprints on 20 plus small pebbles record the dialogue between the students and their emotions, highlighting the unique inner feelings of each individual.Although our busy lives may lead us ignoring our personal feelings, everyone should care for their emotional well-being. These mental health series can help students become more aware of the importance of finding innovative ways to express their emotions, improve their ability to identify and express their emotions, better manage their emotions, and cultivate positive mental health as they rise to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.
