Throughout 2019 I filmed, edited and featured in a solution based documentary film.
This film shows my experience using Mind and Body practices and exploring how they affect my anxiety. This subject has always been incredibly important to me, and I am so excited to share it on this platform.
As soon as I began learning about Anxiety I found that there was a negative connotation towards this mental health issue; as if you HAD to 'get rid' of it. However, I began to look at my anxiety as a way to learn, to become stronger and to hopefully inspire others. Always being curious and exploring the connection of the Mind and Body.
This being precisely the reason I chose this project .
This Mind and Body project looked at three different areas: Mindfulness, Nutrition and an Active lifestyle.
For 8 months I undertook an 8 week Stress-Reduction Mindfulness Course, explored new diets and an active way of living. Throughout this period I found the importance of living in the moment, not judging yourself for your thought and/or feelings and being grateful for you, your surroundings and the people that love and support you.
This experience was one of the most life changing few months for me as I learnt the importance of the Mind-Body balance.
This medium was chosen to show my true and genuine experience to people that may feel they suffer with Anxiety.
Throughout this experience I was guided my specialists in each field, whilst being supported and mentored by Belinda Lloyd and Tessa Priest. These two women inspired me, held my hand and supported me throughout this whole process, I could not have accomplished this film without them and I am immensely grateful for them.
Thank you to everyone that was there for me last year, you are all such incredible people and I love you all very much.
Disclamer: Through these practices I was guided by specialists in the fields, mentored and was supported by a psychologist. Please if you are living with a mental health issue seek support in your circle of trust and speak out if you need help.
