Inside the package there are seven objects as the downside fgure illustrates. Introduction Personal information Daily exercise D a ily q u o te The sensitizing booklet is the most essential part in this package. The team aims to make it attractive so that participants are engaged in the exercise. The fgures show some examples of booklet pages. Exploring inner balance of young professional women The session lasts approximately three hours. It starts from sharing the quotes of inner balance on the booklet. Then the collage assignments are carried out, and the participants are asked to present factors that affect their inner balance as well as strategies they use to achieve inner balance.

For example, someone acts like a Doer in 90 percent time and in other time she acts as a Dreamer.
