Questions to think about:

1. Think about a time when things were better, what was it?

2. What were you doing differently during that time to feel “better”?

3. What else was different during that time?

4. What must happen now for you to have more times like so?

1. I suffer from depression actually and back then when I felt better was when I was working.

2. I think generally back then when I was working I felt more productive and my sleeping schedules are way much more better, I would be able to wake up and feel fresh. Besides, my eating habits are way much more healthier or more on time.

3. I think at that time I felt more secure in terms of financially. My family was also there to support me through calls even when they are far away.

4. I think, I am currently not working but I am studying. Maybe I can be able to set a sleeping schedule or daily routine to follow so that I can feel productive and refreshed when I wake up everyday.

1. When I‘m confident of my body image, and I feel that I can control what I eat and when I get the satisfaction of being successful of controlling, I feel more confident and not stress eating.

2. I do intermittent fasting and limit my eating time to within 8 hours.

3. The hungry feeling makes me feel awake and alive.

4. Control myself, do intermittent fasting again, be more positive and follow the rules to avoid rumination which lead to stress eating eventually, drink more water, avoid sweet drinks and dessert, walk more, positive self talk, wear better to increase my confidence, imagine WHEN i already slimmmm and prettyyyyyy

1. I used to be more physically active.

2. I was working with a company that gave us free credits to fitness classes. So I went on yoga, kickboxing, BJJ, muay thai classes etc 4 times a week.

3. My knees were in a better state than they are now. I also had more time on my hands. I was younger 😬

4. I have to make time outside of work and studies, and to do low-impact exercises instead.

I used to be more confident about my body image.

1. It was better before the COVID pandemic

2. I had a more organised workout regime and workout plan

3. I had a regular sleep-wake cycle

4. Regularise my sleep-wake cycle, stick to my workout plan and have a healthier relationship with food

5. 
   

1. I was writing in gazebo and I became very expressive.

2. I was isolated from the noise of responisbilties.

3. I had free time to actually go out and isolate myself.

4. Force myself to leave the house and spend more time in cafes or parks while stopping myself from invitin my friends

1. I am having lower confidence now, back then during degree & foundation, I am more confident that I will score well, I will do well in presentation, and that I can understand + remember the knowledge/content.

2. I study a lot, crazy. Wake up > study in KTM > class > assignment > study > sleep (on repeat)

3. Less responsibility, perhaps. I only have to be a student, and a daughter, and a friend. Now, I have to manage financial concerns, personal lives interpersonal relationships. And Age!! More hopeful and naive

4. Have better balance of studying/revising and personal interests/hobbies/relationship.

1. When I started my third job in an NGO 10 years ago. I felt fulfilled as compared to my previous work experiences in events and advertising. I was happy to be helping others.

2. Working. Using my abilities to help others and earning money at the same time.

3. I'm currently not working.

4. Embrace a new phase in life as a full-time student and be patient because one day I will be back in the workforce.

1. I used to be very active socially and ambitious in my career. I was in a place where I felt more accepted, understood, and creative.

2. I held 3 jobs and had a very active social life.

3. I lived in the US with roommates who motivated me to be creative.

4. Get out and meet more people, utilize PLANNED HAPPENSTANCE to put myself in creative fields. Maybe spend more time in the arts?

1. Problem: I feel that the relationship between my extended family members is getting worse and this affects some of my emotions and behaviours. Things used to be more different in the past before MCO.

2. We meet each other more. We have more time (except for dinner) to really talk with each other.

3. I think the change of environment is one thing too. My grandparents used to live in a more "village" area and they have more friends there. I can talk with them regarding their friends too.

4. I think spending more time together could help? But without common topics to talk, it is hard to make the conversations to be more positive.

1. When I was working last year, my schedule was pretty much fixed and it was easier to manage my time.

2. Die die stuck to my schedule, able to get things done even when I don't feel like it, made me feel more productive.

3. Didn't have to do work outside of working hours. Reinforces how I manage my time. (Easier, predictable)

4. Make a schedule that I'm able to stick to and finish tasks on time.

1. I used to be a really good student in school.

2. I had a good schedule, more determination and focus towards life and it was 'easy' to be a student. I never felt drained even though it was hectic.

3. My parents were supportive and I had friends who were in the same boat.

4. To create a good routine and find what works for me.
