kops, you sound like my parents & brother, they say the same thing too when I complain about the heat
But kinda true lah, to a certain extent, it is all in the mind! If I psych myself to think I'm not hot, not hot, not hot and the weather's not that hot lah, it seems to work for me!

Okay, everyone repeat after me: "It's not the heat. It's the humidity!"

Listen, you guys can try to be optimistic about the heat and try not to let that bother you, but the heat does NOT go away just cause you choose to practice the mind over matter thing.Originally posted by SydneyLibrarian:

What I'm trying to say, and have been trying to say, is, that if it's 38 deg C outside, practising mind over matter and chanting to self, 'It's not hot! It's not hot!' is NOT going to lower the temperature any bit. It's just a perception change, an outlook change, but it DOES NOT change the real temperature per se.
What kops said was :
No... it DOES NOT go away because it is NOT just in the mind... it IS the real temperature!Originally posted by kops21:take it easy, the heat will go away. It is in the mind. -
isnt tt what our army guys do most of the time?Originally posted by Rhonda:Listen... Xin Jing or no Xin Jing, if I put you out under the hot, scorching, blazing sun, in the middle of a field, with absolutely no shelter in sight, you WILL get dehydrated! Nothing to do with whether your Xin is Jing or not! -
I wouldn't know.Originally posted by wuming78:isnt tt what our army guys do most of the time? -
what is hot? It is perception. For someone staying in colder weather eg < than 10 degrees...going to a place eg 20 degrees is hot. Reversely, someone staying at a temp of 50 degrees coming over to Singapore, do you think they feel hot?
No matter the temperature is 30/40/50 degrees, but it is all in the mind & perception that tells you it is hot or not.
It is all in the mind. If you feel hot, its hot. If you feel fine, its not hot... -
West area, singapore.- cool.

but i think its pointless trying to tell someone who's dying of the heat that the climate is actually considered cool to someone in the desert. it doesnt matter to him!Originally posted by kops21:what is hot?
