"أكون في أسعد حالاتي عندما أكون في موقع التصوير. إنه مثل العلاج بالنسبة لي."
Quote meaning
Feeling truly happy and at peace is something we all strive for in life. For some, it's found in a quiet corner with a book, for others in the hustle and bustle of a crowded room. For the person in question, that happiness and sense of calm comes from being on a film set. To them, it's not just about the work—it's almost like therapy.
Think about it. Every day on set is a chance to escape into another world, to immerse oneself in the intricacies of storytelling and character portrayal. There's something profoundly liberating about leaving your own worries behind and stepping into someone else's shoes. It's like getting a mini-vacation from everyday life, but instead of lounging on a beach, you're diving deep into the art of performance.
Historically speaking, many actors and directors have described the set as their sanctuary. Robin Williams, for example, often spoke about how comedy and film saved him from his own turbulent thoughts. On set, he could channel his energy into creating something beautiful and, in doing so, find solace.
Let's take a real-life example to show this in action. Imagine an actor named Alex. Alex has always been a bit of a worrier. He frets about deadlines at work, wonders if he's doing enough for his family, and sometimes feels overwhelmed by it all. But when Alex steps onto a film set, everything changes. The moment he hears "Action!" he transforms. His anxieties melt away as he focuses entirely on his character. This total immersion in the craft allows Alex to find a kind of peace he doesn't often experience in his day-to-day life. The set isn't just a workplace for him—it's a therapeutic escape.
So, how can we apply this wisdom to our own lives? It's all about finding that one activity where you can fully lose yourself. Maybe for you, it's painting, running, gardening, or even baking cookies. The key is to find something that allows you to be fully present, to push aside the noise of the world and focus on the task at hand. When you find that activity, it can be incredibly grounding and healing.
Imagine this: Sarah is a high-stress executive who feels like she's always on the go. But every Sunday morning, she dons her gardening gloves and steps out into her backyard. For a few hours, she loses herself in the rhythm of planting, weeding, and tending to her flowers. It’s here, among the petals and the soil, that she finds her peace. The garden becomes her set, her place of therapy.
So, next time you feel overwhelmed, think about what makes you lose track of time. What engages your senses so fully that you forget your worries for a while? Whether it’s acting, gardening, or something entirely different, find your "set." Dive into it wholeheartedly. You'll find that it can be a powerful form of therapy, offering rest and rejuvenation in the midst of life's chaos.
