Video Games – Poetry – Journaling: A Drive For Growth Or Just A Personal Pleasure?

Have you ever been so immersed in something you love that you lose track of time? That’s the state of Flow—a moment of deep focus and enjoyment in achieving something meaningful. It is one of the five key elements of the PERMA model in Positive Psychology, helping students create positive experiences and draw valuable lessons for success in life.

According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vu Thu Trang from Hanoi National University of Education, whether playing video games, appreciating poetry, or journaling, students have the opportunity to develop their thinking, nurture emotions, and explore their inner selves. When used in moderation, these activities not only enhance creativity but also boost motivation and improve overall well-being.

• Video games offer a popular form of entertainment where students can experience Flow through continuous challenges and instant feedback.
• Poetry appreciation allows students to engage with art naturally, refine their ability to express themselves, and connect deeply with their emotions.
• Journaling is a valuable habit that helps students record their thoughts, track personal growth, and gain deeper self-awareness.

By understanding and actively creating “Flow” in daily activities, individuals can enjoy the learning process, develop essential skills, and reach new milestones. The joy comes not only from the results but also from the journey itself. Are students using these tools effectively to shape their success?
