No one tells you that life changes immediately after you’re married, then it changed her again after you gave birth. There is no manual. There is no manual about having to care for a family, your child, your career, your dream, and everything just seems to be on a no-hand-break mode, you just gotta go and get it done. Sometimes I feel like I’m driving at 180/h with windows down- there is no time to even blink!

It’s a little scary to admit out loud that I am really tired to do it all at once. Is it bad to admit that I love work because I get to spend a few hours away from being a mother to me - who thrive under pressure, who love work and achieving milestones. Who chased dreams for myself. Or is it bad if I want to take a few hours longer to sleep in my bed without having to wake up and greet the entire household?

Negativities are louder in our own mind so it’s important to find small happiness while you’re ticking off your to-do-list by days. They get softer and weaker with contentment. Count your gratitude, manifest your good energy and accept your flaws.

Photo dumping my gratitudes of last week, guess who tops the list?

Selamat Hari Merdeka my fellow Malaysians! 🇲🇾❤️

Lord bless this country. It has beautiful people with hearts for each other. Thank you for the beautiful land where we have summer all year round. I pray Lord that we are led well by our leaders and for the people to always stay united. I pray Lord for covid cases reduce, for the mental state of everyone who feels down, for the good health of everyone so they can continue to live good long lives. May families be protected by Your angels in every waking moment. Let there be joy peace and contentment in everyone's heart.

In Jesus name I pray this. Amen!

Today I’m @ifs_events to watch a few speakers who put out messages I respect on social media. @bdccarpenter @soheefit & @jamessmithpt are all well-known proponents of taking healthy, mentally sustainable approaches to fitness and steering clear of a mindset that prioritises “hacking” weight loss or putting it before ones sanity. They’re at the front line of fighting how, particularly as we consume it in well marketed snapshots, a lot of the online fitness culture is misleading.
-
It’s very easy to live under the illusion that abs and guns must equal happiness - there aren’t many photos of ripped people on Instagram who look miserable, yet I guarantee you many of them are.
-
It’s not necessarily the acquisition of their physique that made them miserable (though, for many, a life of deprivation and lacking anything that inspires them more than what they look like could have), more that there’s very little correlation between shreddedness and happiness.
-
Yes, being HEALTHIER means you feel better. How ripped someone is doesn’t provide an indicator of this though.
Yes, time to invest in yourself in the gym is good for your sense of self-worth and mental health, but it doesn’t mean someone is happy with the other 23 hours of their day.
-
A ripped fitness influencer I know in Vegas eats donuts and pizza all day and has to recreationally “medicate” his way through his daily battle with depression.
-
In their podcast this week Ben & James talked about the different ways in which a lack of inspiration and contentment showed itself in their habits and decision making.
-
My recommendation would be to focus on the things that improve your health & contentment. Go to the gym because it’s rewarding to spend that time exercising and use the modality that you enjoy most and look forward to. Make sound dietary decisions because the energy they give you is rewarding.
-
Look for something in the rest of each day that you find rewarding. Time with family. Painting or playing music. Checking in with a friend who you know is struggling. Studying a subject you love that might just allow you to make it your career.
-
Don’t be fooled by feeds. “Happiness > Pleasure”

我的新書《做好自己喜歡的事，就會閃閃發光》想跟大家分享我入行以來，對於這一行有著不一樣的理解，所謂的好、成功的定義，好像都跟入行前想的不一樣。

從前還在當學生的我，覺得考第一名、唸好學校，還進入了UBC的藥學系，這些成功讓我非常有成就感，而在網路上的名氣也讓我覺得走音樂這條路是可行的，於是我回到台灣，沒想到發了片，我卻覺得越來越空虛，好不容易發行的第一張創作專輯，卻遇上疫情，讓未來的路越來越不清楚，我才發現，進了這一行，並不是我很努力，事情就會按照我想要的方向走。如果一直想要成功，就會越來越不快樂，越成功，就會越快樂嗎？其實最重要的，就是「快樂」而已。

沒有所謂的「成功」，沒有人可以定義成功，只要心靈富足，做好自己喜歡的事，喜歡這樣的自己，真的就會閃閃發光。我坦然接受真實的自己，我希望我無時無刻都能閃閃發光。

節目的最後，送給大家《青春有你》，為夢想，我們一起努力吧！

Being in the entertainment industry has changed me. What I used to hold on to has been challenged, and I shared about how I’ve adapted and redefined success in my new book “做好自己喜歡的事，就會閃閃發光” (Do What Makes You Sparkle), which I want to discuss further in this episode with you.

What’s your definition of success? Don’t let the world tell you what you should be or not be. Let’s redefine success together - your own kind of success that gives you real peace and contentment.
