Bingkai Karya – In an increasingly dynamic academic world, students face various challenges, from academic pressure and productivity demands to readiness for a highly competitive industry. For BINUS @Malang students who focus on Digital Technopreneurship, these challenges become even more complex, as they are required not only to excel academically but also to adapt to the rapid development of technology and digital business innovations. The high pressure can impact emotional well-being, leading to stress, anxiety, and even burnout. Therefore, it is crucial for students to have effective strategies to recognize, accept, and manage pressure to remain focused and productive in their academic journey and career development.
As part of its commitment to students’ mental well-being, BINUS @Malang, through Student Advisory and Support, organized a workshop titled “Embrace Your Emotions: Explore Tranquility with Mindful Yoga and Self-Reflection.”The event, held on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at the BINUS Malang Auditorium, was specially designed to equip students with emotional management skills and life balance techniques.
The workshop featured Triandini Paramitha, S. Psi., M. Psi., a professional psychologist, who led an in-depth reflection session to help students better understand and manage their emotions effectively. Additionally, a mindfulness yoga session led by professional instructor Zulfa Khanis introduced breathing techniques, gentle movements, and audio therapy to help participants release emotional tension and achieve inner peace.
With an interactive and experience-based approach, the workshop not only provided relaxation methods but also raised awareness about the importance of mental health in academic balance, creativity, and productivity in the digital and technopreneurship world.
Positive Responses from Participants
Students who attended the workshop responded positively. Mutia Lourensia, a Public Relations student and workshop participant, shared her experience:
“This workshop broadened my perspective on managing emotions positively. I feel more balanced and have gained new energy for my studies, making me more prepared to face challenges in the digital technopreneurship field.”
This initiative aligns with BINUS @Malang’s vision of creating a learning ecosystem that supports both academic and emotional development, particularly in shaping resilient characters needed in the technology and digital entrepreneurship industry.
Dr. Robertus Tang Herman, S.E., M.M., Campus Director, emphasized that students’ mental well-being is a crucial aspect of building a generation that is innovative, resilient, and ready to contribute to the highly competitive digital world.
A Holistic Approach to Managing Academic Pressure
The workshop concluded by providing practical strategies for applying mindfulness in daily life, especially in managing stress and improving sleep quality.
