Self-care is not all about doing fun, escapist stuff. Quite the opposite, it's a bit of hard work, diving deep within yourself but the effort is So. Worth. It. Happy weekend ahead!

At last night's IG Live session with im_friendly_co, I suggested we take some time today, on World Mental Health Day, to do this classic exercise of imagining when we are 70, what a meaningful life would have been. It's a great way of helping us discover our Values! So how about giving it a try today? You can watch the entire IG Live session on @im_friendly_co IGTV. Meanwhile have a peaceful, happy World Mental Health Day!

One of the activities I'm doing this year as part of World Mental Health Day is this IG Live session with im_friendly_co. I'm Friendly Co is a youth peer-to-peer support initiative by a group of NUS students.

Many things I can say about this. But at this moment, especially after some conversations I have picked up, what I want to say is: "Stop thinking that mental health issues plague only a certain 'type'. Stop thinking that having mental health issues means a person is weak."
See how even the "best" struggle. And so, quit labelling those who are dealing with mental health issues and celebrate the courage and resilience instead. Have a good Friday, all.
