I smiled and gently asked, โ€œWhen was the last time everything was *truly* done?โ€

She paused. Then laughed. Then sighed.

Because truthfully, in our modern lives โ€” things are never done. Deadlines. Chores. Notifications. Thereโ€™s always something next.

But in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), rest isnโ€™t a reward.

Just like Yin and Yang, your effort needs its equal in restoration.
Even *micro-moments* โ€” a mindful breath, a slow tea break, gentle tapping on your acupoints โ€” quietly rebuild your Qi.

โœ… Try this: Press the **Yintang point** (between your eyebrows) gently for 1 minute while breathing slowly.
โœ… It calms the mind, eases tension, and signals your body to pause.

โ €
Recently, a family drama stirred memories I donโ€™t often share. Iโ€™m not someone who cries easilyโ€”but caregiving stories unlock something deeper.
โ €
A characterโ€™s journey with colon cancer mirrored my late fatherโ€™s path. The familiar moments were there: shaving hair, staying strong for his wife, asking the kids to look after her, the quiet weakening families notice first.
โ €
Yet beneath the tears, I felt ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ. I did what I could within my means. Nothing fancyโ€”just showing up and walking the last lap together. ๐Ÿ™

A learner recently told me, โ€œEven when my bodyโ€™s tired, my heart still races and my brain keeps ticking.โ€ Sound familiar?

Thatโ€™s a classic sign of *blood and qi deficiency* in TCM. In modern life, especially when weโ€™re overworked, the heart-mind connection gets overstimulated โ€” leading to insomnia, anxiety, or that feeling of being "tired but wired".

Iโ€™ve seen this up close. When my dad became seriously ill, I chose to slow down my career to care for him. That decision wasnโ€™t easy โ€” emotionally, physically, and financially. Not every family has the option. Not every caregiver can cope.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ๐˜˜๐˜ช (ๆฐ”) โ€” your life force โ€” flows best when your body and mind are in balance. Rest isnโ€™t just a pause; itโ€™s a ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜๐˜๐—ผ๐—ป for your internal energy.

โ €
Yet, in modern life, โ€œrestโ€ often feels like a luxury. We power through pain, ignore fatigue, and pride ourselves on being "always on." But here's the truth:

โ €
โ˜ฏ๏ธ Without rest, Qi becomes stagnant.
๐Ÿƒ With rest, Qi regenerates.

โ €
This is why TCM self-care isnโ€™t just about action โ€” itโ€™s also about stillness. Whether it's 10 deep breaths, a warm cup of herbal tea, or a few moments with your eyes closedโ€ฆ choose to recharge.

He used to hold my hand.. Now I hold onto him tightly..

When my dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, I started holding onto him tightly.. I became the primary caregiver, bringing him to the various specialists, medical appointments and treatments.

I used to say โ€œI am more tired than my dad whenever we go to the cancer centre. He sits down comfortably playing with his sudoku while I go to the various levels to get his appointments (scan appointment at B2, collect drugs at the pharmacy at Level 1, book next medical appointment at Level 2, get chemotherapy slots at Level 3 etc)โ€

These are small things compared to his fear of medication and needles which are a daily and weekly affair..

I happily took on the role of the primary caregiver as my work timing is more flexible as compared to my mum and brother. This led to me being responsible for EVERYTHING regarding my dad. Mum and brother sometimes took me for granted. I was rather unhappy and angry during those moments.
