After a hectic year of working on a TV production that knocked her life off balance, Sherin Wong found herself again in Bhutan. Here, she details how she is realigning her life’s purpose
In january 2016, I started producing a 30-episode Chinese drama series. The pressure was immense to complete a high-quality production within tight deadlines. During the four months of shooting, I was sleeping and eating at irregular hours. On some nights when I came home at wee hours, even my own dogs started barking at me, as I haven’t been spending time with them!
When we had completed the shooting for all 30 episodes, I would still jump up from my sleep on certain nights, worrying about what is happening on the set. This went on for about two weeks before I got back my regular sleep cycle. Even though I enjoyed the rush and challenges of being a producer, I felt I had lost touch with myself. I stopped doing what makes me happy, and what keeps me grounded. I lost focus as I stopped doing yoga, plus I began to get easily irritated and aggravated. I no longer had much patience and became a grumpy person, a version of myself that I couldn’t recognise.
