A mental health expert finds his balance
IMH's Mok Yee Ming tells of his journey towards striking a much-needed equilibrium in his own life
KEEPING fit was never a priority or even within my radar as a working adult. Back in school, it was easy to stay active. We played games together before school started, and extracurricular activities kept us busy outdoors. As I grew older, I also participated in school sports.
This level of activity became almost non-existent when I finally graduated and started working. The work life meant long working hours, doing shifts while struggling to study at the same time and trying to squeeze time for family and friends. Something had to give. After all, there are only so many hours in the day. And that something was my physical activities. This became even harder once I got married and started a family.
In the beginning, my metabolism could easily help me return to my previous level of fitness within a short period of time. (Especially before having to report for reservist training!)
