Nadia Mulya Shares Tips for Happiness: Mastering Emotional Regulation

Inner peace is the crucial foundation for maintaining health and independence, particularly for the elderly, according to presenter Nadia Mulya. She believes that happiness and inner tranquility are the source of everything. Mulya stressed the significance of emotional management, especially for young adults in their productive years who are prone to stress. She stated that learning emotional regulation is essential to prevent individuals from succumbing to difficulties when facing problems. "If I always believe that happiness and inner peace are the source of everything," Nadia said. She further emphasized that the concepts of inner peace, health, and empowerment should begin with happiness as the primary basis. Positive emotional states, she explained, help individuals navigate life's challenges more easily. "If we are happy, we can get through any condition. A joyful heart is medicine," she remarked. In her work with the elderly through the social organization Langit Biru, Mulya has observed the importance of social interaction in maintaining their quality of life. Gathering with peers can boost happiness, which in turn positively impacts their health and sense of empowerment. "When they are happy, they become healthy, and when they are healthy, they become empowered," she said. Mulya also addressed the economic challenges seniors often face, including those in sandwich generation families. She linked this to Indonesian cultural values of filial piety but stressed the importance of financial planning through savings and investments from a young age to avoid becoming a burden in old age. "This serves as a lesson for the younger generation to prepare for old age by saving and investing from an early age so that they can just enjoy their old age," Nadia said. Through Langit Biru Pertiwi, in collaboration with Bank DBS Indonesia, Mulya launched the "Together for the Golden Age" program to encourage seniors to remain active, empowered, and financially and socially resilient.
