Perspective

The idea for this video came from the realisation that, after years of struggling with depression, what helped me the most was creating things. Of course I also have to make sure I exercise and eat healthy, but once I combined them all, I had a much better handle on how dark my moods get. And when I discussed that with friends, it turned out this was pretty universal. They might have different creative outlets than my photos and videos, but they all found that making something, anything, be it a new business or a new skill or a book, was vital to them feeling better.
One of those friends is ‪@sofigomezu‬, who in the last couple of years has not only found a whole new way to approach her sport, but she also set up a freediving school in Dominica, creating new opportunities for people to learn and stimulating the local economy. Plus she makes perfect bubble rings, which I thought would be a good way to visually explain the idea of how something we create grows and then in turn, helps to create us. How your changing perspective can guide you to not just see things in a new way, but make new things as well.
