My 5 Senses Experience

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. We kick this off with Esther Elmi, who embodies an enormous degree of energy with positivity, open-mindedness, curiosity, creativity and self-awareness. She holds not only a psychology degree, she also became a DJ. Today, she hosts her own radio show and leads DJ yoga sessions to connect sounds with mental well-being and to re-connect with yourself. 

How can being in the present moment help you with mental health issues? How does our brain processes music and audio? Why does she listen to local music while traveling? 

Here's some of Esther's advises: When travelling, listen to local authentic music. Make sure that your music and movements sink. Be conscious about how music influences your mental health, what you let into your brain, how it makes you feel. Have some moments of silence.

Alex and Katie are co-creators of the project “Small Towns to Summits”. Last year, they spent their summer exploring how human interaction affects our experiences. They traveled to six different states in the Western US and climbed one of the tallest mountains in each state. On their journey, they interviewed people from small towns near the mountains and other climbers they met. 
The goal of this project is to combine their own story with the voices of the people they interviewed. In today's episode, Alex and Katie share with us how they explored their own senses and why they used different mediums to capture their amazing experiences. 
Let us be guided by their motivation: to be overconfident and underprepared. Let us keep learning to grow, to trust in ourselves and to set our mindset.

Today we focus on one of our senses: the vision. It is the most applicable and obvious sense. Our guest of this episode is Dr. J (@eyesbydr.j), a California-based optometrist who’s been practicing since 2015. In 2017, she opened her practice, West LA Optometry.

Dr. J teaches you about the eye as a complex organ. What can you do to maintain the health of your vision? What is the 20-20-20 rule? Why can dark green vegetables help maintain the health of your eyes? Why is it so important to get your yearly eye exam even if you feel like everything’s okay? How does our DNA/cultural background influence our risk exposure towards certain diseases? What causes colour vision deficiency and why is it much less likely for women to have it? Tune in to find out.

Claudia Hernandez is a true example of how journaling and experiencing the five senses can improve your mental-wellbeing and you as a person. In today's episode, the Peruvian student living in Miami opens up about how she journals for herself and for others, how she captures what she sees, hears or tastes, how to overcome a heartbreak, and how she learnt to change her mindset as well as to increase her mental state.  

Follow her advice: “Try to not say something negative for 24 hours” and you’ll see how your life changes for the better (@writingclaud_ on Instagram). Start step by step, opening up your awareness for your senses and enjoy the journey.
