Fatshimetrie: An Exploration of Mental Health with Nollywood Actress Osas Ighodaro and Rapper Falz
In today’s fast-paced world, mental health and wellness have become essential topics of conversation to avoid burnout. In a recent interview on “Spa with Osas,” Nollywood actress Osas Ighodaro and rapper Falz shed light on the importance of self-care to prevent burnout.
According to Falz, the key to wellness lies in taking care of your mind, body, and spirit. He emphasizes the importance of immersing yourself in activities that bring pleasure and soothe the soul. “For me, I would say I try to immerse myself in things that bring me pleasure and put me at peace. Things that inspire me and make me happy – you want to stay in a happy place; you don’t want to feel unhappy or feel like you’re lacking,” he shared.
Taking a step back and reflecting on the challenges of maturing, Falz acknowledged the impact the recent years have had on him and encouraged Nigerians to pay attention to their bodies. “The last few years have been challenging; that’s just life. As you enter your 30s, you start noticing changes in your body. It could be your stomach one day, it could be your ear or your knees, so it’s essential to pay attention to your body,” he said.
The rapper stressed the importance of sleep and adequate rest to avoid exhaustion or collapse. “I try to do things that make me happy, rest and sleep. If you don’t rest, you will collapse; you can’t cheat nature; and if you are not well rested, you cannot function. Rest is very important, as is sleep,” he explained.
In conclusion, the interview between Osas Ighodaro and Falz highlights the importance of self-care to maintain one’s mental and physical balance. By engaging in activities that bring joy, taking time to rest and getting enough sleep, it is possible to maintain an optimal state of well-being despite the challenges of daily life. Applying these principles can help avoid burnout and cultivate a healthy and balanced life.
Ultimately, taking care of oneself should be a priority for everyone, because it is by taking care of one’s mind, body and soul that one can truly flourish and live fully.
