I was looking up articles on depression in the film industry. In my findings I couldn’t come across a single page with any information on how to balance our thoughts. We are humans first and for most, film is not the only thing we have to manage and we often overlook our health. It’s therapeutic getting on set and working with friends, but you have to be able to manage time efficiently, client expectations, and have to stay cool even though sometimes it’s hard to control our inner thoughts. Take time away to travel, hang out with genuine friends who uplift you, and make sure you exercise your body so you can exercise your mind. Even a run in the park can make a worlds difference on your mood. Simple steps will elevate your mood which will elevate the people around you. Especially during these times it is necessary to show each other love. Be genuine and take care of yourself. Get this grind now rest later mentality out of your head! We have the whole day to make moves and there’s no excuse to not be able to rest or your doing to much. Relax your mind and prioritize what’s important in your life. Sometimes saying no is the best thing you can do. Also I recommend therapy at least one session, there’s nothing wrong with getting mental health help, which our brain is the biggest thing we should exercise. We shouldn’t allow our past thoughts to interfere with the present or you won’t be able to focus on the task at hand! Also therapy will give you an unbiased opinion and there’s nothing wrong with that! Last thing I want to touch on is eating healthy. Proper nutrition feeds your brain function, gives you energy, and keeps your body fit to handle any job at hand. Hope this article can help make a difference. It’s the small steps we often forget about, but even if you slip stay consistent and keep your course!
