Dealing with Stress from COVID-19

Many people are feeling very stressed now from the COVID-19 Pandemic, as evidenced by the messages in the group chats and news from the media.  Definitely, life is different now, from simple things like eating lunch to more complex things like how to get the report out to your client and negotiate a business deal. We know that if you don't deal with stress, the stress will deal with you and your life will be affected, both emotionally and physically. The 5 ways to deal with Stress from COVID-19 include:
  1. Balance your receipt of negative news with positive news.  We know that when you receive news about COVID-19, it is mostly negative. So we need to also catch up on other news like history, geography, travel, music, entertainment etc
  2. Exercise (in your house).  Simple exercises like stretching, push-ups, sit-ups and even yoga can be done at home using videos from YouTube as a guide
  3. Stop meddling small things. When you work from home, you will tend to get picky on small things like where the towel should be hanged.  In the past when you are out at work, you are unlikely to do this because you have been too tired out the whole day
  4. Be Entertained. It's strange that when you are at home most of the time, your entertainment time actually decreases.  I choose to listen to music and watch one favourite old classic movie every day instead of looking at WhatsApp Messages all the time
  5. Serve.  When you are stressed, your stress will go away immediately when you serve or offer free help to society.  I choose to offer my professional services to the society for free, like writing an original inspiring article each morning and offering video lessons in my paid WeChat Marketing video course for free.  I also offer FREE training on Profiling on Facebook Live each week. Just leave me a WhatsApp message at 65-93672286 and I'll give you the details.  This is my little way to serve society. What about you my friend?  How do you serve others instead of just serving yourself?  Leave me your comments below or join my WeChat Singapore Facebook group at bit.ly/wechatsg.  Related articles

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...
