21 AGO 2020 · Do you find it hard to say no? Are you a people pleaser?
“If you try to please all, you please none.” – Aesop.
Caring about how other people feel and having the best intentions at heart when helping them is not an inherently bad thing.

This episode we look at people pleasing, why we do it, why it is not the best for us in the long run.
More importantly, we dive into tips on how to stop being an excessive people pleaser.
This week’s tips/points include:
1. Know that you cannot please everybody
2. You do not need to like everybody
3. REMEMBER - You DO NOT need everybody to like you (and that is OKAY!)
Stay tuned to Part 2 where you will learn about the other 6 CRUCIAL tips that will help you to stop being an excessive people pleaser.

Also - regardless of where you are, who you are, what you are doing, what your situation is, why you feel uncertain, I would like you to remember that you are not alone. You will survive, and emerge stronger than before. Sending lots of love and support to you from here in sunny Singapore!

30 MAG 2020 · According to author Tony Crabbe, we are finite humans, living in an “infinite” world. This dissonance makes idling and doing nothing, things that can truly help us to recharge and gain inspiration, incredulously tough.
Here is how you can learn how to do nothing (as strange as it sounds):
1) Find out if you actually struggle to do nothing
2) Figure out when, how much, and why you feel like you cannot do nothing
3) Experience what doing nothing feels like and what it can do for you
4) Ask yourself - “what is my definition of a successful day and life?”
Go forth and find some time to do nothing - even if it is a mere 5 - 10 minutes in your busy day!

21 MAG 2020 · How often do you react to a situation rashly because you assume that someone else thinks, feels a certain way or has a particular intention behind an action?
A lot of the strong negative emotions that we feel when we interact with other people can stem from the assumptions that we unknowingly make about them.
Yet our assumptions of other people’s responses, thoughts and feelings may not be entirely accurate, even when we actively try to put ourselves in their shoes.
Here is how you can kill your assumptions and start understanding:
1) Ask yourself - “is this emotion based on an assumption”?
2) If you assume, assume the best
3) Just ASK
4) How others react speaks more about them than you

10 MAG 2020 · A Gallup study in 2018 of around 7,500 full-time employees found that about two-thirds of full-time workers experience burnout on the job.
Refraining from tasks and thoughts related to your job (or work week) during non-work hours can reduce how much your job (or study) stress affects your overall well being.
Here are five actionable tips for you in hitting the reset button over the weekend:
1) Don’t pressurise yourself to be too productive
2) Get enough sleep in the night
3) Do something indulgent for yourself

I definitely encounter my fair share of these moments, and I found that these things help me when I am in such a mental state:
1) Stop looking at the things that trigger you
2) Stop thinking of the things that trigger you; don’t feed negative thoughts
3) What are you proud of?
4) Reframe!
5) What can you work on?
Hang in there; you can do it! You deserve all the love you give to other people!
