*Mid-week Reminder*

On days when you feel like you’re not good enough, take a step back and remind yourself: feelings are not facts - just because you do not feel good enough about yourself does not mean you’re incapable.

At the same time, you’re allowed to have tough days. Don’t forget your strengths, and remember: nobody has it all figured out. Keep showing up, and that’s enough. 🩷

Mid-week reminder 🥰

Half a year has gone by, and here you are , still showing up, pushing through, doing your best. That’s something to be proud of. This little flower is just a small reminder that everything you’ve done, no matter how small they may have felt, truly matter. Life can be tough, but every step forward, no matter how slow, has led you to today. Be proud of how far you’ve come. The rest of the year is a fresh chance to keep growing and blooming. 🌸

When you feel overwhelmed, let this little turtle remind you—it’s okay to slow down. Just take it one day, one thought, one moment, and one task at a time. Gentle steps forward are still progress. 🌿🐢😊

🌿 Mid-week Reminder 🌿

Your worth isn’t measured by your productivity or achievements. Even on days when you feel exhausted, resting, or simply existing, you still matter deeply. Your value is not tied to your output. Give yourself permission to rest, to breathe, to simply be. You matter, just as you are.

Have a blessed mid-week! 😊

I’m so incredibly thankful for the opportunity to facilitate a DISC workshop (“DISC in Action: Discover Yourself, Understand Others, Succeed Together”) for a team of leaders at ST Engineering in Xiamen. This was a meaningful milestone - my very first overseas work trip!

What made it even more special was the kindness, openness, and enthusiasm shown by the participants. My Mandarin was far from perfect, but they were so patient and supportive throughout. Much gratitude to the leaders and organizers for their trust and belief in me.

I’m also deeply grateful to the many mentors and individuals who have guided, encouraged, and provided me with wonderful opportunities over the years—you’ve played a big part in my professional journey.

A personal highlight: Xiamen is the hometown of my maternal grandparents. Being able to work and connect there made this experience even more memorable.🙏

Toxic positivity is the overgeneralization of a positive mindset to the point where it dismisses real emotions, minimizes struggles, and pressures people to suppress their feelings instead of processing them. This makes people feel isolated instead of supported.

Examples of Toxic Positivity:
- “Just think positive!”
- “Other people have it worse.”
- “Don’t be so negative.”
- “Just get over it.”
- “Good vibes only!”
- “You should be grateful.”

Instead of forcing positivity, try:
✔ “That sounds really tough. Want to talk about it?”
✔ “It’s okay to feel this way. I’m here for you.”
✔ “You don’t have to fix this right now. Take your time.”

True well-being is not about ignoring negative emotions; it is about acknowledging and working through them.

Let’s create space for all emotions, not just the happy ones. 🩷

In a society that often equates being alone with loneliness, we sometimes forget the value of quality solitude. However, spending intentional time with ourselves isn’t just a retreat from the world—it’s an opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and mental well-being.

Here are some benefits of spending quality time alone:

1. Deepens Self-Understanding

Without external noise, we have the space to reflect, understand our emotions, and gain clarity on our goals. This self-awareness helps us make better decisions and align our lives with what truly matters.

2. Reduces Stress and Overwhelm

Constant social interactions and digital distractions can be exhausting. Quiet, uninterrupted time allows our brains a much-needed break, reducing stress levels and promoting inner calm.

3. Improves Relationships

Ironically, spending quality time alone can make our relationships stronger. When we know ourselves better, we communicate more effectively and set healthier boundaries. We can also bring our best selves to interactions when our minds are well-rested.

As we begin this new week, how do you plan to carve out moments of solitude for self-discovery and renewal?

Have a blessed week, everyone! 😊

Managing FOMO - “fear of missing out”

“Make a list of all the things that bring you joy, that make you feel confident, that make you feel good about yourself and the way you move through the world around you. Then, make a list of all the things that don’t serve you, the things that make you feel bad about yourself, harm you or make you feel like you’re not good enough.

By doing this, you can physically discover all the things that you should hold onto and perhaps interact with a bit more and all the things you may need to cut out of your life or adjust the way you interact with them.”

Had a delightful time with a wonderful group of students from Singapore University of Social Sciences this morning during the workshop, “Becoming an Overcomer: Moving Beyond Setbacks.”

While I work closely with corporate organizations, young people hold a special place in my heart as well — their potential is truly limitless!

Grateful for the privilege of collaborating with the dedicated staff of SUSS since 2021. Their commitment to supporting student well-being continues to inspire me.

Not every thought that goes through our mind is true.
Our brains can exaggerate, distort, or catastrophize situations. Just because you think it doesn’t make it true.

Negative thoughts can lead to feelings of anxiety, sadness, or self-doubt. Questioning these thoughts helps separate fact from fiction. It is a powerful tool for improving mental health because it challenges unhelpful thinking patterns and promotes healthier emotional responses.

Here are helpful some ways to question our thoughts:

- What is another way to view this situation?

- What is the evidence that this thought is NOT true?

- Are you confusing your belief or thought with a fact?

- What would you say to a friend if they had the same thought?

- What do you have control over? What is outside of your control?

- If the worst happened, what can you do to cope and deal with it?

- What do you have that this thought is true?

- What thought would be more helpful and better serve you?
