Mind Your Mind

When we say 'mind', we don't just mean the mind in our brain or head. The mind is everywhere, with every atom. Wherever we feel anything, the mind is there. The mind feels.

 Where does the mind resides?  Our whole body contains the mind. 

 We need to mind our mind. By this I mean we need to take care of our mind, as though our mind is our physical possession, like how we take care of our looks. There are 4 major ways to mind our mind:

 1. Feed our mind with good food
The mind feeds on foods of thoughts, emotions and feelings. Feed your mind with good food and your mind will be healthy and strong. If you feed it with junk, your mind will become junky. 

 2. Calm our mind regularly 
We are often so busy that our mind is never at rest, at peace of in a state of calm. To calm our mind, we just need to stop thinking and just take 3 deep breadths, with our mind fully focused on our breathing and nothing else. If you do this mindfulness practise regularly, you will find that you become a more cooler and more calm person

 3. Become Aware of our mind 
Often our body takes its natural course and we become like robots and not aware of what we are doing. Like we will naturally open the fridge once we are inside the kitchen, and seeing a drink inside the fridge, we will take it out and drink it even though we may not be thirsty at that moment. Being aware of our mind is to live life not on auto-pilot but on awareness. If you are aware, you will behave less in reactive ways and more in responsive ways

 4. Be mindful. 
Being mindful is to be aware of what is around, and be alert to things happening and absorb whatever good the environment is. Being mindful is also about to take the right response to what is happening.  If there is pollution, a mindful person would be aware of it, and choose a right response, and do not react to it. This is because reacting is futile as you cannot change what has happened and your reaction (like getting angry) would only make yourself more unhappy.  A mindful person would respond appropriately, like wear masks. 

 The opposite of being mindful is to have your mind full. When your mind is full, you cannot take in any new material any more. That's why people with minds full will find attending training "not useful".  In fact it is their mind fullness that is causing the blockage. We need to turn ourselves from being mind full to being mindful if we want to be effective in learning.

How to be mindful during and after training?

First thing is to pay attention to what you are thinking when the trainer is explaining the concepts. Do not judge or evaluate what you are hearing, but think about how you can apply them to your life

Second is to ask questions to clarify any doubts that you may have so that you would not be more confused

Third is to remember the key points and relate them into your life. The best way to remember content is to relate it to your life right now. Like I relate to the haze by looking at my own face to see if i can do something to protect it.  In this way the content has meaning to me immediately

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
