Often, we may have catastrophizing tendencies when we think of the future. It could lead to anxiety and paralyse us😟, especially with the uncertainty Covid-19 brings.

Next in our Resilience Series, in partnership with @nycsg, we will explore the science in reshaping our beliefs 💭 to see opportunities amid difficult situations.

Through a brief sharing, find out how Youmin from @forestbathingsg has overcome catastrophising thoughts with the technique of Holding Opposites! 🙌 The Resilience Series webinars go live every Tuesday at 8pm! Register now at http://resilienceseries3.peatix.com/ ✨

It is common to experience failures or negative events. And when that happens, we sometimes explain why they happened to ourselves🤔

Often, we develop self-defeating beliefs about ourselves 😢, so much so that we feel demotivated.

Are you aware that what you tell yourself have an impact on your emotions and the actions you would take? ✨

The next time a negative emotion arises, bring your attention to what you are thinking💭 Are you overly blaming yourself? 😓 Can you shift your thinking to one that will motivate you to take constructive action? 💡

If you enjoyed this post but missed out on our webinar, don't miss the opportunity to join us for our next one on Seeing Opportunities Amid Adversity! 🌈 Register at http://resilienceseries3.peatix.com/

The power of humour is no joke. After all, laughter is the best medicine! 😄

But did you know that not all kinds of humor can benefit your well-being?🤔 Humor can be categorised into four styles.

1️⃣ Affiliative humour brings people together👯 These jokes make everyone feel good and create stronger bonds.

2️⃣ Self-enhancing humour finds absurdity in adversity. People who use this style are able to laugh at themselves good-naturedly, lessening anxiety when dealing with stressful situations😊

3️⃣ Self-defeating humour also involves laughing at yourself, but these self-deprecating jokes target your weaknesses to avoid dealing with the negative feelings they may bring. This often ends up hurting your self-esteem😟

4️⃣ In contrast, the aggressive humor style hurts others 😈 Often sarcastic, it aims to bring down those around you. This can be isolating as it pushes people away.

Be aware of your humour style to be sure you're taking medicine and not poison!🙈 Next time you deliver a punchline, perhaps be wary that it doesn’t just become a hurtful punch to anyone’s feelings, including your own🌈
