I share my story about mental illness with Dr Farihah of HDOK , Sandakan.

I think first of all, I would like to clarify what STIGMA and DISCRIMINATION means because sometimes the two are confused with each other.

STIGMA - someone sees you in a negative way because of your mental illness
DISCRIMINATION - someone treats you in a negative way because of your mental illness

So STIGMA happens when a person defines someone by their illness rather than WHO they are as an individual. For example, they might be labelled “psychotic” rather than “a person experiencing psychosis”.

Second is to understand what is a mental illness

There are many different conditions that are recognised as mental illnesses. The more common types are:

Anxiety disorders
Mood disorders (eg Bipolar)
Psychotic disorders - hallucinations, delusions , schizophrenia
Eating disorders - Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge eating
Impulse Control & Addiction disorders (kleptomaniac, pyromania, compulsive gambling)
Personality disorders
OCS
PTSD

Seven Things You Can Do to Reduce Stigma

* Know the facts. Educate yourself about mental illness including substance use disorders.��
* Be aware of your attitudes and behaviour. Examine your own judgmental thinking, reinforced by upbringing and society.��
* Choose your words carefully. The way we speak can affect the attitudes of others.��
* Educate others. Pass on facts and positive attitudes; challenge myths and stereotypes.��
* Focus on the positive. Mental illness, including addictions, are only part of anyone's larger picture.��
* Support people. Treat everyone with dignity and respect; offer support and encouragement.��
* Include everyone. It's against the law to deny jobs or services to anyone with these health issues.

Turn “Need to” Into “Want to”

“Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans‬ ‭5:3-5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In life, many things happen to us, and how events affect us is how we view and attach meaning to them.

The apostle Paul had this revelation, and he taught the church to view suffering in a new light—to rejoice in suffering because it produces perseverance, proven character, and hope.

He knew how to reframe the undesirable things in life to become something that he wanted.

Suffering produces pain, but Paul reframed it to mean the training of his perseverance, character, and hope. Something bad became something precious and valuable.

We can apply this mindset to anything in life so that our trust is always in God and not in our self-efforts.

For example, if you see yourself putting on weight, your flesh may cause you to think, “I must go on a diet and exercise more so that I can lose weight.” This way of viewing the situation makes you reactive—on the defensive posture instead of wholeheartedly choosing to do something because you love it. When something is viewed as a burdensome chore, you will struggle with it.

Instead, why not detach your goal from the activity and just focus on the enjoyment of the beneficial action? You are not trying to exercise to lose weight—you are already young, healthy, slim, fit, and strong. Jesus paid for you to freely receive health and healing by faith.

When you exercise, there doesn’t have to be a goal. You can reframe your mindset and exercise just because you find it fun and enjoyable. “I like to run and feel my body challenging its limits. At the same time, I get time to enjoy the beautiful scenery that God has made, and listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to me.”

Wow, just like that, exercise without needing to gain anything from it becomes something desirable, just like the enjoyable activity of playing games for fun. Guess what, you will still reap the fitness benefits of exercise when you do it.

This method of refraining things is important because we don’t want to fall into the deception of getting things done by self-effort. Whatever is done by the flesh apart from God’s blessing has to be tiresomely maintained by the flesh.

If you’re struggling financially, and you’re always thinking, “I need to work so that I can earn money,” you’ll be perpetually stressed out, your performance at work will de-prove, and the self-reliance hinders God’s gracious provision and favor that must be received by faith.

No, you’re not working to earn money. You are a child of the wealthiest King of Heaven and earth—money is not something worth worrying about. You are always well-supplied and never lacking. God’s blessing makes you truly wealthy in all ways and He adds no sorrow nor trouble to it.

“Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.” (Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Instead of feeling forced to work, work because you enjoy it, and because the people you deal with at work will benefit greatly from having Jesus as Lord. You would love to show them His glory through your words and deeds. When you think this way, you detach the goal of earning money from the action of working, and it just becomes an activity that you enjoy and look forward to—it becomes something very meaningful that you can be passionate about.

When you do your best at work to shine brightly for God, to showcase Christ in you, you will still be paid, and very likely, your job performance will improve. The state of mind will change from one that’s dragging your feet to work, to one that runs in, excited to embark on the next task for Jesus’ sake so that more may glorify our Father in Heaven.

Many times, God’s word says “repent”, and I agree that we can change our mind about all the ways we think negatively. Reacting by the flesh, we will always try to compensate for some lacking area by doing hard work, choosing man’s way instead of God’s way. To see a positive transformation, all it takes is a little reframing according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We don’t have to act like homeless orphans fending for themselves on the streets. We have a Father, and we are His beloved children. When your flesh tells you that you “need to” do something, reframe the whole thing by seeing it through Jesus’ finished work at the cross and what that sacrifice has accomplished for you. See how you can proactively “want to” do the task. Rest from fleshly self-efforts, and actively receive the supply of grace for every need!

你/妳相信心態影響一切嗎？
You, do u believe in a mind-set towards attitude has an impact towards everything?
壁球的發球對於初學者很重要，
但你知道選手更應該重視發球與接發球嗎？
Squash’s serving is very important for a beginner; especially for a starter, should focus on serving and receiving a ball...

一次來回裡面的第一球。
這一球你是發了再決定做什麼？
還是打到最好，來逼迫對手製造機會？
For the first ball, do u think of serving it first casually and then see how it goes afterwards? Or, try to serve your best to a corner with a tough angle for competitor to receive? Forcing competitor to provide you a better opportunity to react?

第一球就可看出（ 你的心態在哪裡 ）
The act of first ball will see your mentality towards your competitor/game
————————

努力之外，還要懂的有效利用所有資源，
在比賽的時候，好好思考什麼對自己才是有利的，什麼才能幫助自己發揮表現，但當然是以運動家風範的前提下。
Besides working hard, need to know how to maximize all attainable resources. During competition, need to think thoroughly as to what are advantageous points to you. Which areas to focus could assist you in maximize deployment...of course under sportsmanship’s

看PSA球員有時候都會對著裁判碎念：
Some PSA players using this strategy by keep mumbling to referees...
「他已經累了，他跑不到故意來撞我」
For example...a player would say “he is tired...he could not run to the ball so he would just run to me...”
真正的目的卻是在激勵自己，同時烙印對手，讓他覺得自己真的已經累了。
This strategy is to:
1. Encourage and motivate himself;
2. Make his competitor believing he is really tired...
烙印、同時改變對手心態。
This act and/or strategy is to imprint and change your competitor’s mentality/mindset/thinking...

21歲埃及選手Youssef Ibrahim在近期卡達公開賽，贏過世界第二名El Shorbagy進入八強。

21 year old Egyptian player Youssef Ibrahim won over Shorbagy whom is ranked number 2 in the world. Youseff Ibrahim enter into Top 8.

「你擁有很多潛力，繼續下去你也能成為世界第一」
You have lots of potential. Keep working hard, you could become world number 1。

這句話是賽後Shorbagy對著後輩說的，這句話也會深深烙印在Ibrahim的腦子裡。
The above statement was said to Youssef by Shorbagy. This statement will always be remembered deeply by Youseff.

我帶學生，很重視這種觀念與Mindset
觀念就像放種子在土壤裡，短期或許看不出變化，但隨著學生的心態就會影響成長的速度。
With my teaching to students, I emphasize the importance of this mentality and mindset, mindset is like a seed planted in the ground, in short term period of time, you could not noticed its impact. But, as the time progresses, the right mindset being planted will have a profound impact on outcome!

當你知道自己做對什麼、什麼做的不夠好，你就懂的怎麼去看待與因應，你也就更能理解對手的目的與想法在哪邊、如何去應對。
When you could clearly observe what has being doing right, or what has not being doing enough, you would then understand how to face obstacles with right approaches and methods. You could then understand your competitors’ thinking and how to react to his strategy.
————

這觀念也不只限於用在球場裡，場外也是一樣。
The same philosophy applies to outside of court.
以前某體育大學裡的教授，當面對著我說：
There was a professor in a sports focused college once said to me:

「你這種學生我見多了，沒多久也就不會再碰壁球了」當時我很氣憤。
I have seen enough of students that don’t last too long in playing squash..

現在回頭想想，那教授是因為他學生都是如此？還是因為他是帶著這種心態去帶學員？所以才會如此呢？
In looking back, could it be that professor was having a passive attitude that caused his students in thinking passively?

「我相信教練的心態，影響學生很大的」
I firmly believe that a coach’s mindset has a profound impact to his students...
————

期盼AJ的學生都能有烙印正向與獨立思考能力
Wishing all AJ Squash students think and imprint with positive mindset as well has ability to think independently

「烙印住每一次打到目標點的感受」
「記憶自己贏球的喜悅」
那份喜悅與渴望，就是推動我們打到更多的動力。
Imprint and conceive deeply arise from each feeling resulting from a focus target

獨立思考自己要的是什麼：
「找個心態、步頻跟自己一樣的人同行」
如果沒有，那就選擇獨行吧。
Think independently is critical in figuring out what is once’s own goal. Pairing with someone that has similar desire and goal setting...If you can not find that person, stride along....

Mindset不一樣，就已經存在不同世界一樣。
When mindset is steering into different direction, you have already venture into a different environment and world

你/妳今天AJ了嗎？
Have you AJ today?
