Social Media and Mental Health

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives.

How to Stop Worrying What Other People Think of You

If you find yourself looking over your shoulder, self-conscious, or fretful about how your actions will look to others, here’s some help to stop worrying.

The Social Dilemma: Social Media and Your Mental Health

‘Like’ it or not, using social media can cause anxiety, depression, and other health challenges. How can you change your habits?

A Reason Not to Worry What Others Think

We spend a little too much time worrying about how we must appear in the minds of others. However, the poignant, useful truth is that almost everyone doesn’t care at all about who we are, what we’re doing and how we’ve messed up.

Alice Eliza Koh, Retiree

I was introduced to Alex by my sister who greatly appreciated his good customer service, detailed explanation, good followup and recommendations, patience and always approachable and who readily make himself available to meet to explain the policy or whatever understanding needed . I found him to be good and wished I had known him earlier so I could be wiser in my purchase of health and fund policies that meet my needs and not the need of the agent for better commission Though busy, he still followup and only 1 call away whenever I have issues to discuss Recently I called for meeting to discuss my Prudential funds and to better understand the recent host of cancer related coverage on the daily news. He not only came to meet promptly upon my call but came prepared with printouts and presentation. I am impressed with his service and has no hesitation to recommend him to whoever are looking for a good insurance consultant/ advisor

As an agent, Alex is patient when explaining and does it until I understand. He is also an honest person and more concerned with the benefits of his customers and not just closing the sale. What I like the most in Alex is his patience and honesty. I am very grateful to Alex for helping and supporting us, when my husband passed away and helping me look for a job when I needed to.

I’ve known Alex for years and he’s someone who cares for the people he knows. He will not hesitate to go the extra mile to help if it’s within his means and I’ve personally benefitted from his help in different aspects of my life over the years. Especially in terms of insurance, I really appreciate his help to push through my case for me as my case was not as straightforward. Thanks for being a great friend and advisor!
