We are Happy Children

Introduction 

I’m thrilled to share my latest music video on YouTube titled "We are Happy Children." This song, which I composed over 10 years ago, embodies my belief that children should enjoy happy and carefree lives.

How the Song Came About

The song (music plus lyrics) was composed when I was doing relief teaching at a primary school. 

It was done pretty quickly without much thought, as I was told that I'd to cover a music teacher's lesson on the day of the lesson and I'd classes prior to that. 

Even though I wasn't expected to teach the kids music, I decided to go ahead with my plan since the supervisor didn't say "no."

Cheers,

Finding Light in the Darkness: Is Suicide the Answer to Life's Challenges?

Introduction    Suicide is a topic that's close to my heart, because I'd contemplated about ending my life on numerous occasions in the past. Globally, suicide remains a silent crisis, affecting countless individuals and families. Despite the stigma, it’s crucial to have open conversations about it, especially because it often stems from mental health struggles that require understanding and compassion. How Prevalent is Suicide Globally? With over 700,000 people dying by suicide every year globally, this equates to one life lost every 40 seconds. ( https://www.who.int/health-topics/suicide#tab=tab_1 ) This number may be higher due to under-reporting caused by stigma surrounding suicide in many cultures.  ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate )  Suicide is one of the leading causes of death globally.( https://www.who.int/news/item/17-06-2021-one-in-100-deaths-is-by-suicide ) The global suicide rate is about 9 per 100,000 people, but it va...

5 Ways to Overcome Your Irrational Fears

Image
What is Fear? Fear is an emotional state that's evoked by threat of danger. And it's usually accompanied by physiological changes such as increased heart rate, as well as behavioural changes such as avoidance of fear-producing objects or situations. A certain amount of fear is necessary for our own good. That's healthy fear, as I'd like to call it. However, when it becomes irrational, it's no longer healthy and it could do us harm instead.  What is Irrational Fear?   Irrational fear is fear that isn't  situationally appropriate. In other words, it's out of proportion to the actual threat. And it can be a symptom of some mental health conditions , such as PTSD and panic disorder. According to the author of Conquering Fear, an overdose of fear can keep us perpetually tense, emotionally closed and paralysed to the point of inaction.   (Pg 24)  Do we want any of these? Obviously no, right? Therefore, it's important that we recognise signs of fear s...

How to Heal Emotional Trauma

Image
What is Trauma? Trauma is the emotional, psychological and physiological residue that results from heightened stress that accompanies experiences of threat, violence, and life-challenging events.   Types of Trauma Trauma can either be physical or emotional trauma. In the case of physical trauma, it's the result of a serious injury. There are two types of physical trauma: blunt-force trauma and penetrating trauma . In the case of emotional trauma, it can either be acute or chronic. Acute trauma is defined as "the emotional response that happens during and shortly after a single distressing event". And chronic trauma is defined as "a long-term emotional response to prolonged or repeated distressing events that span months or years" . Signs of Trauma Sometimes we may not even be aware that we're suffering from trauma. And sometimes we may think that we're healed when we're not. It could be because we've consciously or subconsciously buried it. So w...
