Mental wellness is essential for a fulfilling life. By understanding its importance and taking steps to promote mental well-being, we can create a healthier and happier society.

Everyone experience different challenges in our daily life. Mental health impact how we feel, how we think and how we behave, therefore, it is so important to maintain good mental well-being to achieve healthy living.

Highlight of the event :

I attended a community event recently that discuss about the "Journey Of Mental Wellness" The speakers shared some great tips, simple ways to control our emotions and we did some light workout that helps with relaxation.



It was a pleasure to meet Ms Felicia Chin (*Channel 8 MediaCorp Actress) in person, she is one of the guest/speaker in this event, a warm, friendly and down-to-earth lady. Personally, I love her acting skills in the local drama series. Felicia shared her personal experience on mental health and some tips to promote healthy living. We took a quick wefie after the event...

                                                             

The talk was conducted in Mandarin. It was informative, engaging and well organised by the community partners and I learned much more about mental wellness so I would like to share some information with my readers...

Here are my thoughts and personal tips to maintain healthy mental wellness (*This is not a medical advice*)

                

1. Get Enough Sleep 

Rest is important for everyone. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Establish a regular sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, and optimize your sleep environment.

2. Stress Management

Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga etc. Engage fun activities, move your body or listen to your favourite uplifting music (*I recommend Taylor Swift songs!lol😄) to reduce stress levels.


3. Prioritize Self-Care

Take a break when you need to. Make time for activities that bring you joy and excitement, such as singing, dancing, light sports, spending time in nature, or try out new hobbies.

4. Social Connection 

Connect with others. Don't stay at home all day. Go out and have fun! Spend some quality time with family and friends, join a support/interest group, or volunteer your time. Stay active, plan your day and keep yourself occupied.

5. Healthy Diet

Avoid over-eating or starving. Have a balanced, nutritious diet and drink enough water everyday. Eating well is living well! :)

6. Build A Calm & Positive Mindset
Stay calm in every situation and try not to overthink and overreact. Pause and take a deep breath. Remember, you are not alone, every problem has a solution! :)

7. Seek Professional Help

If you're struggling with mental health, do not suffer in silence, get the right help and support. Community service/Grassroots networks & associates provide resources, support and guidance through difficult times.

Take charge of your mind and embrace a happy & healthy lifestyle! "Be Active. Be Healthy. Be Happy! A healthy mind builds a happy life! 🥰💖

GEWR 2024 : Mummy + Me Women's Race (Finisher Medals Achieved)🏅🏅

The Great Eastern Women's Run (GEWR 2024) was held at Singapore Sports Hub (National Stadium) on 27 Oct 2024. It was an all-women's race with more than 12000 participants.

There are a few categories for the women's race : 21.5Km, 10Km, 5Km, 2Km Mummy+Me (5-12yo) and 100m Princess Dash.(3-6yo)

Initially, I planned to sign up for the 5km run as an individual, but since my daughter is really keen to join the event, we signed up for the 2KM Mummy + Me Category instead. The distance is much shorter but I think it's a good start for young children, especially when they are first timers.

 

This is the first time I'm running with my 9yo daughter (*Girl in pink cap) and I enjoy this sweet maternal bonding activity.💞

Let's Run..My Little Warrior!🏃‍♀️

We arrived at the stadium around 7:30 am. It was a lovely morning and a nice weather for outdoor activities. Minister Mr Edwin Tong flagged off the 2km race at 8am and here we go...

 

                          

              Mandy's Vlog : GEWR 2024 - Mummy + Me Category

The road was closed for the event, it was pretty crowded but still a smooth flow and we moved in a steadily speed. Every runner is so excited and eager to reach the finishing line within the cut-off time to receive our medals.

Keep Going...Never Quit! 💪

At some point, my daughter was feeling a little tired and I told her... "S, it's normal to feel tired..just keep walking but don't quit. We are almost there!😎" Every child need some words of encouragement and motivation. We made it and finished the race in less than 30mins.Yay!✌️

   

Our Mummy + Me Finisher Medals! 🏅🏅

                

The 2km run is fairly easy and manageable for majority of the adults & older kids but the most challenging part is running and videoing at the same time,lol..but I have to capture and document these precious moments, it's all worth it! 🥰

The medal is super cute with Cinnamoroll on it. My daughter is over the moon with her first medal and I am really proud of my baby for completing the race. We took lots of photos together and I hope this medal will motivate my daughter to achieve her goals as she grows...

Relax, Recharge and Enjoy...

       

     

We got some energy boosters and refreshments after the race, there were fun activities at the stadium for everyone, my daughter was thrilled to see Cinnamoroll dancing on the stage. Awww...He is so kawaii that I want to cuddle!!! 😊

            

The Event Pack :

  

Mission Accomplished - Medals Received In 2024
         
         
                     

My personal goal for this year is to achieve 3 medals by end of 2024 and I did it! I'm not much of an athlete nor a professional runner but I do enjoy sports!🏀 Every award/medal means a lot to me, it reminds me of the efforts, perseverance and determination to complete the race! Every participation feels different and very memorable experiences for me.

Running/doing sports is a great way to build stamina, physical health, willpower, inner strength and more...

I look forward to more sports/running events with my family & friends and to achieve more medals to my best abilities! 😎💪

Start Strong. Finish Great.

I'm pleased to be part of this fabulous event, it's amazing to meet so many incredible women, mummies, sisters, daughters coming together for this running event to empower wellness, fitness, and embracing an active, healthy lifestyle! 

 

Welldone ladies! We Start Strong and Finish Great! A warm applause and cheers to Girl Power! 👸❤️‍🔥💪

Exclusive Featured : Wine Tasting @75CL.SG🍷

            

"Red Red Wine...You Made Me Feel So Fine..."

After a long busy week, I like to chill and enjoy a glass of wine over the weekend...

Wine is more than just a beverage, every wine taste different and I appreciate good wine! As a social drinker, I drink occasionally during celebrations, private functions, dinners and leisure, etc...Personally, I love red wine and rosé from France and Italy.

The Hidden Gem - Wine Tasting @75cl.sg

Recently, I attended a wine tasting session @ 75cl.sg (Tasting Lab) located at Alexandra. The interior is exquisite and organised. Very cosy and relaxing ambience with soft music and warm lightings. I love the mellow vibes! I'm impressed with the wide varieties of wine collections neatly display in their store. Their wines are from France, Spain, Italy, USA, Australia and more...The prices are reasonable and a great value for wine enthusiasts.

                

       

               

It was nice meeting Mr Alex Guo, the gentleman is warm, polite and friendly, he showed me around the place and shared some tips and knowledge about wine. Here is Alex opening up a bottle of wine. Very skilled and professional! (*I could never open this fast!😄👍)

                    

The 5 Featured Red Wines From United States :

               

1. Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon (2019)

3. Wetzel Estate Reserve Pinot Noir ( 2017)
4. Chateau Bianca Pinot Noir (2020)
5. Sand Point Zinfandel (2019)

I tried all of the featured wines and I really like Paul Hobbs(1) and Sand Point Zinfandel(5) Coincidentally, both wine that I like are from 2019.lol.
