Where do I come from? Who am I? Who do I want to be? 

These are questions which bother many students during their time at university.

Shaping one's life concerning own wishes, needs and values is an essential step in a person's life and at the same time a complex process. This process of developing ideas of one's own life with different facets is what we would like to stimulate and make discussable with this workshop.

This workshop could be helpful if you recognize yourself in one of the following statements:

• You sometimes feel torn between different roles, points of view and opinions.
• You often are more conformed than you want to be.
• You wonder what your unique selling point is and what constitutes your identity.
• You would like to feel more confident in representing your own point of view.

In a protected setting, questions about your own identity and your self will be addressed.
The goal of the workshop is to increase your well-being by making different facets of your self explicit.

Humans naturally try to avoid displeasure and increase their momentary experience of happiness. However, this disposition is often at odds with the life goals we want to achieve and the demands life places on us. In order to deal with this tension, many people choose the strategy of keeping unpleasant things away from themselves for as long as possible and only completing them at the last possible moment, usually under extreme stress.

This workshop could be helpful for you if you recognize yourself in one of the following statements:

• You tend to bury your head in the sand until you can't help but face the demand, such as writing a term paper, paying reminders, studying for exams.
• You wonder about yourself how you manage to block out the pressure of approaching deadlines and exams, but suffer from a constant guilty conscience for not staying on the ball.
• You fear failure because of your procrastination.
• You feel that your procrastination is keeping you well below your performance potential, but you don't know how - you can overcome this dynamic.

In this workshop, we will develop strategies to overcome procrastination and postponemitis, with the goal of helping you use your energies more evenly and efficiently. In addition to strategic work planning, the strengthening of sustainable (learning) motivation plays a central role in the workshop.
