Profile of Sofia Coppola
Born in 1971, Sofia
Coppola grew up in northern California. She has directed seven feature-length
films, beginning with The Virgin Suicides in 1999. She has attracted
numerous fans with her highly artistic and original scripts. She won Best
Director at the 70th Cannes Film Festival in 2017.
Start the year strong by setting purposeful intentions
A new year brings with it a lot of hope and new beginnings, which is why many set resolutions for the year ahead in terms of their physical, financial, professional, and other life goals. However, many struggle with seeing them through. According to a Forbes article, more than half of these resolutions will be abandoned just after one month.
In case it
has been a struggle a month or so into the year, we can try taking a different
and more flexible approach by setting intentions instead of resolutions. These
are like guides that could help condition our mindset and make our goals more
flexible, helping take some of the pressure off. According to the 2022 Mind Health Study of leading insurance provider AXA Philippines, which
examines the building blocks of mental wellbeing in Europe and Asia, one of the
skills needed to achieve the top mental health state – the state of flourishing - is to reflect on
one’s meaning and purpose. Looking inwards and asking ourselves what really
matters to us is a good starting point to having more meaning and purpose in
our lives.
AXA
Philippines advocates protecting what matters and encourages everyone to take
care of their physical, mental, and financial health. Here are some intentions
to consider for the new year for better holistic health:
Be open to new experiences. What the recent years have taught us
is the possibility of life being put to a halt at any moment. This year, why
not try being on the lookout for new opportunities and experiences, especially
as the world opens up more. Instead of saying, “I can’t,” try saying “why not,”
so you can make the most of what life has to offer. Your next big adventure
might just be waiting for you to make a move.
Explore different fitness routines. In the same study, AXA shared that physical
health behaviors can have a significant effect on a person’s mental health. Becoming
fit is one of the most common new year’s resolutions, and possibly one of the
hardest to sustain. Instead of aiming to lose a specific amount of weight,
focus first on finding the right routine that you truly enjoy and can motivate
you long enough to form a habit. In the end, having fun aids in consistency, so
you can see the results of your hard work.
Protect your financial and physical
health. Having
financial freedom is one way to ease your worries. This year, make an effort to
be more mindful of your expenses and find ways to grow and protect your wealth.
Instead of instant gratification, create a plan for big ticket items and start
thinking of ways to save up for it. Aside from just saving and investing money,
protect your health as well by getting an insurance plan that fits you and your
family’s needs.
Make mental health a priority. Just like physical health, mental
health should also be treated with the same importance. In a 2021 survey
conducted by health and fitness app REBEL, only 16% of the 500 Filipino respondents
targeted to reduce stress and take care of their mental health. This 2023, aim
to be more kind to yourself, promise to find more time to do something you
love, seek help when needed, and overall aim to be more mindful of your mental
health. Avoid burnout and learn to listen to your mind and body to know when
you need a break and make time for some me-time.
As we get
ready to take on the year, remember to take care of yourself to better care for
those who matter to you most. To care for your holistic wellbeing, AXA
Philippines has multiple insurance plans available for added health protection
and coverage. Health Care Access is a comprehensive health plan that takes care
of your overall wellbeing - from prevention, diagnosis, hospitalization, and
treatments, and even includes coverage for mental health services.
AXA
Philippines also has Health Start, which covers critical illnesses including
cancers common to women such as breast and ovarian cancer, while also providing
you with coverage for your child. Their Health Start Lite plan also covers the
top three critical illnesses and starts at as low as Php 535 per month.
Lastly,
AXA’s Global Health Access has an extensive worldwide medical coverage for the
prevention and diagnosis of critical illnesses. Since caring for yourself also
means taking vitamins and supplements, you can have these reimbursed as part of
your plan’s coverage, which is also applicable for pregnant women and their
specific needs.
