"When this came out, the hysteria over the clit-scissors scene was all I heard about, and when I watched the film, that was the least shocking thing for me. That scene with the crow in the foxhole and Dafoe beating on it trying to get it to die—that reminded me of an anxiety dream I've had, like a déjà vu from my own emotions. It's comforting when someone else’s darkness mirrors your own. Lars is brave with how intimate he is in his films. He goes off and says things that get him in trouble, and his bravery gets overshadowed. I see him as wonderfully vulnerable and brave. This is one of my top-five favorite films of all time."

Easy to follow and thought provoking.

I didn't even make it to any of the exercises and I was already thinking about/more aware of how I let stress control me.
    I love the idea of using playful exaggerations and a different voice to break the negative stress/thoughts. Imagining something happening to combat the self-created stress and smiling whilst I do it really appeals to me.....basically joking/making light of a situation.

Smile more, stress less is a great tool for anyone suffering from stress, anxiety etc it's broken down into manageable sections, without the judgemental "you must do this right the first time!" rubbish. It's easy to get to grips with and not weighed down with unnecessary long confusing words and tasks.

"I watched Alien again, Ridley Scott’s movie, and I felt completely taken by it and distracted for a while. When I watched (it), I really wasn’t thinking about coronavirus – or our terrible president, or anything – I was focusing completely on what was going on in the movie and exclusively on the drama within (it). So I’d say (quarantine watching) can totally be entertainment, (but) just make sure that it actually takes your brain energy, you know? Like horror movies, or (films) that really (give) you anxiety, and happiness, and joy – everything because of the movie. It shouldn’t be that your mind can wander off, it can’t be too easy. Also, I’ve discovered that I can cook as well – that’s big to me."
