It involves writing on a piece of\u00a0paper something one would like to let go of (&#8216;checking-in&#8217; with oneself) to then, after taking a deep exhalation, rip the piece of paper at least three times and, with another deep breath, toss the ripped paper into a recycling can.<\/p>\n<p>This activity helps to let go of stress and negativity and allows us to be in control of our emotions. We believe this, with the other activities, is a great way to de-stress, especially in between deadlines and exams.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/psychology\/files\/2021\/04\/Materials-info.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2921\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/psychology\/files\/2021\/04\/Materials-info.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe hope you can join us as we get creative and de-stress from studying whilst at the same time raising awareness to de-stress!\u201d \u2013 Psych Soc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Make sure you have your A4 paper, coloured pens or pencils and scissors ready and<a href=\"http:\/\/shorturl.at\/nCK27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> join us on Teams from 5pm<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Psychology Society is hosting a De-Stress Creative Session on Wednesday 21 April from 5pm!
