As mentioned in the previous newsletter, I will share tips on \u201cHow to kickstart a conversation surrounding our own mental health\u201d. The first step that we all can do is to reflect on our own attitude towards talking about our struggles and hardships. When was the last time we talked about it with our friends, best-mates or members of our family? Was it difficult to start? What were your thoughts before you reached out? Whether you just needed a space to vent or\u00a0 just a little advice from someone, sometimes it is difficult to start.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are common thoughts before one starts sharing:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u201cEveryone else is going through something, I am not special\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt is too complicated, I don\u2019t even know where to start\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThey are too busy, I don\u2019t want to bother them\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThis matter is too small\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThey will get bored listening about this issue again\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These patterns of thoughts can become a dangerous cycle and isolate us from the support we may need. Here are several examples of conversation starters. It is easier to be honest in regards to your feeling talking about the subject, at the start of the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WELLBEING-CONVERSATION-STARTERS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WELLBEING-CONVERSATION-STARTERS.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WELLBEING-CONVERSATION-STARTERS-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WELLBEING-CONVERSATION-STARTERS-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WELLBEING-CONVERSATION-STARTERS-255x191.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are all constantly learning and I hope these conversation starters are helpful and could guide us in our wellbeing journey.
