In recent years, the fast-paced lifestyle and growing academic pressure have turned stress into an ever-present \u201ccloud\u201d hanging over many students\u2019 minds. Understanding these challenges, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH)<\/strong> organized a meaningful mental health care workshop<\/strong> at the Nguyen Van Linh Campus. The event aimed to equip students with essential knowledge on physical and mental health while introducing simple yet effective practices to release stress and build confidence before the upcoming exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of the workshop at UEH Nguyen Van Linh Campus, Hall N1<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop began with a discussion session helping students identify common sources of stress and pressure in daily life. Practical techniques for emotional balance were then introduced as an accessible approach to improving mental health. Under the guidance of yoga instructor Maisie Huynh<\/strong>, students learned foundational breathing techniques and experienced mindfulness exercises to focus the mind and release negative thoughts. Meditation was highlighted as a powerful tool to enhance concentration, calm inner turbulence, and improve sleep quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session opened with the question \u201cWhat is meditation?\u201d<\/strong> and explored its benefits. Meditation helps soothe the nervous system, reduce cortisol<\/strong> (the stress hormone), and stimulate brain areas related to attention and memory \u2014 thus improving learning capacity and easing headaches or body tension from long study hours. Combined with sound vibration therapy<\/strong> using bells, meditation further promotes deep relaxation, grounding the mind in the present moment and improving focus during study sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants were then guided through basic breathing exercises<\/strong>, which help stabilize the mind, reduce stress, and ease the body into relaxation. Gentle yoga movements<\/strong> followed to awaken the body, improve blood circulation, and restore energy \u2014 enhancing both flexibility and concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through thoughtful guidance from the instructors, students practiced relaxation techniques accompanied by calm visualization and soothing narration, allowing them to release tension and unwind. The workshop not only provided valuable mental health knowledge but also served as a safe space for discussion and consultation with experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s fast-changing urban environment filled with information overload and life pressure, such workshops bring a breath of fresh air – helping learners regain balance, reduce anxiety, and strengthen emotional awareness. The session attracted nearly 100 participants, many of whom had attended previous workshops and expressed a strong desire to continue joining future sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized by the Department of Student Affairs (DSA)<\/strong>, the workshop offered students a meaningful opportunity to reconnect with themselves. It concluded in a calm and uplifting atmosphere, opening new perspectives on nurturing the body \u2013 mind \u2013 spirit<\/strong> connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
