Sort your life out and thrive

‘Sort your life out and thrive’ is a module that focuses on your wellbeing, personal growth and coping with stress, so that you can equip yourself with lifelong skills for learning, working and being well. You will spend 10 weeks developing yourself to thrive in university life and beyond - including leadership skills for future employment - through fostering physical, cognitive, emotional and social skills that will support your wellbeing. Your assignments will provide you with the opportunity to focus on yourself, working towards your personal goals that you will identify as part of the module, while also practicing self-care and self-compassion. The module will be delivered in the context of our digital world: understanding your data and finding digital supports and strategies for life management. Expert speakers will join us for sessions around areas such as nutrition, sleep and mental health and you will have the opportunity to track your own personal data and progress in areas of your choice (e.g. emotional wellbeing, study habits, time management, exercise). The weekly in-person classes will be conversational in tone, where you will undertake a variety of activities that will enhance your personal development. You will prepare for class each week by watching pre-recorded material. You will reflect on how your values and goals map onto the way you are currently living your life and you will be facilitated in exploring how you wish to reach your potential. There are no prerequisites for this module. Students who are interested and ready to develop their self-knowledge and wellbeing skills will be most suited. It is recommended to consider your preparedness for tasks that involve self-reflection before registering for this module. If you are unsure, please email the module coordinator: jessica.surdey@ucd.ie
