Self-improvement

You're already perfect, yet you can always be better.
_
improvement
/ɪmˈpruːvm(ə)nt/
noun
an example or action of of improving or being improved; a thing that makes something better or is better than something else
_

The ultimate goal of self-improvement is to reach the state or point where you no longer feel the persistent need to improve yourself. Self-improvement, therefore, seems to be self-defeating.

The point of improving yourself is to make yourself better than you were before, or in some cases, better than someone else. However, implicit to improving yourself is actually the assumption that there something inherently wrong with you and the way that you're living right now. 

Thus, obsessively indulging in self-help material and incessantly chasing self-improvement might just feed the feeling of inadequacy; if we keep chasing improvement, we sometimes overlook the progress that we have made.

Deconstructing FOMO

Clarification: This is an opinion piece and not a factually researched article. Definitions and lines of reasoning presented herein are largely my own. _ FOMO /ˈfəʊməʊ/ noun  anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused by posts seen on social media. _ FOMO, the Fear Of Missing Out, refers to the knowledge that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening not involving one but involving one's counterparts that leads to an anxiety or fear of being deprived of the positive experiences that said counterparts or peers are encountering in the given moment. It is one of those weird phrases that has only entered the common lexicon in recent times, and not only already seems dated, but also has an implied negative connotation. However, perhaps the aforementioned criteria are not enough to fully define the circumstances in which FOMO manifests itself. To illustrate, if a gazillionare builds a fleet of automated humanoid dro...

The mental health conundrum, briefly

According to an article published on 4 August 2020, the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) reports that suicide remains the leading cause of death among people aged 10-29 in Singapore, adding that the number of suicides among the 20-29 age cohort remain the highest compared to other age groups.  You know we live in a first world country when the leading cause of death for your youth is suicides and not preventable infectious diseases. Credit where due, every school in Singapore today has a full-time school counselor. In fact, our school had three counselors at the start of this year, two of whom were here on a contractual basis whose duration of commitment have since elapsed and they are no longer attached to our school.  Recently we had a mental health wellness seminar for a CCE (Character and Citizenship Education) lesson in school, wherein the speaker shared with us statistics and studies regarding the importance of sleep or having a balanced diet. In addition, we were introduce...

Is it okay to be not okay all the time?

On the unintentional consequences of an unconsidered approach to raising awareness on mental-emotional health, and its loose parallels to screening and overdiagnosis, briefly _ In "Is it okay to be not okay?" , I had briefly written positively about the increasing awareness of the maintenance of mental-emotional health. However, today I posit that this might not be a wholly societally beneficial trend, for the nature of the current implementations of such awareness-raising might bring about some unintended consequences. Mental-wellness seminars peddled to students and young adults  through our institutions of education today seem to always be quick to denounce the effects of stress and emphasise their deleterious impacts on our quality of life. Often, such seminars use scaremongering to make it almost sound like it's your fault if you have some mental-emotional issues that you cannot overcome because you simply weren't paying enough attention to your health to proacti...
