Wellness with YAS: Yijing, Art of War and SuperME

 

“Have you ever felt like life is getting faster… but you’re falling behind?”

  •       Prices keep going up.
  •       Workloads keep piling up.
  •       But your energy? Drained.

·       Your peace? Missing.

·       Your health? Second priority.

Everywhere I go —

·       People are stressed.

·       Not because they don’t know what to do…

·       But because they don’t know how to stay well while doing everything.

Today, I want to share something with you that changed my life — and can change yours.

I call it Wellness with YAS.

Y-A-S stands for:

  •       Yijing (The Book of Changes)
  •        Art of War (by Sun Tzu), and
  •        SuperME (based on Purpose, Love, and Gratitude)

These three — when used together — don’t just help you survive.

They help you rise, respond, and thrive — even in chaos.

Let me show you how.

Let’s begin with the first pillar:

🔮 1. Yijing – Harmony Through Energy Awareness

Yijing teaches us that change is constant — and our wellness depends not on controlling change, but flowing with it.

In this high-cost, high-pressure life, most people resist:

  •        “Why is everything so expensive?”
  •        “Why is work so stressful?”
  •        “Why can’t things go back to normal?”

But the Yijing reminds us:

🌊 “Water never complains. It adapts to the shape of the land, and still flows.”

📌 Example:

When petrol prices went up, a client of mine used Yijing Hexagram 40 – Release.

She stopped resisting and restructured her lifestyle — reducing debt, cutting energy leaks, and most importantly, realigning her energy with what really mattered.

She became lighter, calmer, and wealthier, even while others panicked.

⚔️ 2. Art of War – Strategy Over Struggle

Sun Tzu wrote:

“The greatest victory is won before the battle begins.”

When we’re overwhelmed, we often react:

  •       Fight with our boss
  •        Overthink
  •       Overwork
  •       Or freeze entirely

But the Art of War says: Don’t just fight harder. Fight smarter.

📌 Example:

I coached a manager under pressure to deliver 3 projects with limited time.

Instead of rushing, we applied the “Divide and Conquer” tactic.

She broke the projects into smaller wins, assigned by strengths, and created quick wins to build team morale.

The result? She delivered 2 days early and received a company-wide commendation.

All without burnout.

💖 3. SuperME – Inner Wellness Creates Outer Strength

Most of our suffering is not from reality.

It’s from the Survival-Me mindset:

·       “I’m not good enough.”

·       “There’s no time.”

·       “I have no choice.”

But SuperME reminds us:

💡 “I am already enough. I just need to live from Purpose, Love, and Gratitude.”

📌 Example:

I used to measure my worth by my results. If business was slow, my mood crashed.

Until I started every day with this affirmation:

“I am not what I achieve. I am who I am becoming.”

And that shift — from stress to SuperME — gave me not just wellness, but power.

Now I serve from joy, not pressure.

🔁 When You Combine All Three: YAS

Imagine facing any challenge with:

1.       The wisdom of Yijing to adapt

2.       The strategy of Sun Tzu to respond

3.       And the identity of SuperME to stay centered

That is true wellness — not just for your body, but your soul, work, relationships, and finances.

So here’s my challenge to you:

1. Check Your Energy Every Morning

Ask yourself:  “Am I in chaos, or in clarity today?”

·       Use a quick Yijing reflection.

If your Qi is low, don’t fight harder — shift your flow.

2. Plan Like Sun Tzu

Don’t start the day reacting.

Start with 3 strategic moves:

 

·       What can I eliminate?

·       What must I delegate?

·       What one thing, if done well, will make the day a victory?

3. Live as Your SuperME

Remind yourself: “I have nothing to prove. I have everything to offer.”

·       Start the day with Purpose.

·       Act with Love.

·       End the day in Gratitude.

Because in this chaotic world,

The most powerful person is not the loudest, or the richest.

It is the one who remains well, centered, and unstoppable.

That, my friend, is what it means to live with YAS: Yijing, Art of War, and SuperME.

What an Executive Coach and Business Coach Does

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...
