Create a Space for Emotional Processing with Wonders of U
Clarity on Emotional Processing and Understanding of Emotions
We often overlook our emotional well-being. Most of our knowledge rely on personal experiences which can limit our understanding of emotions and their complexities. Wonders of U is a tool for processing emotions, a twelve-month expedition into emotional well-being. It was created using a design method containing concepts of mindfulness, learning, and self-care. The monthly subscription includes:
- Guided journal for processing emotions
- Activity booklet for creating routine and adding fun activities to your week
- Affirmation cards to encourage and challenge your thoughts
- Illustrated stickers to celebrate little joys in life
Emotions are messengers, delivering important messages that we often miss when we suppress or ignore them. When left unattended, these messages accumulate, creating lingering emotional baggage from past experiences. Wonders of U provides clarity on emotional processing and understanding of emotions.
We are hoping to support people to feel and understand their emotions. If emotions get overwhelming, Wonders of U creates a space to feel those emotions.
METHOD
Reflective Learning.
We ask the right questions to teach you how to process emotions and emotional experiences. Once learned, these processes can be used in any situation for validating your emotions and interpreting the message within those emotions.
Experiencing Emotions.
Emotions are sensed within our bodies, not just in our minds. To help you truly grasp how an emotion feels in your body, we engage in simple activities that are designed to discover little joys in life.
Truly Inclusive.
Our products are designed to be more than accessible, they are designed to be enjoyable. Catering to a wide range of users with their personal preferences, we place special focus to include neurodiverse users and users with non-linear thinking.
