In the fast-paced modern world, emotional problems have become an important factor for mental health. Suppressing feelings and rejecting one's own worth often lead to anxiety, depression, and other problems. Film and music are not only entertainment tools but also soul soothers – they can create resonance, open perspectives, and lead us on the path of self-healing.
FITUEYES aims to contribute by sharing a healing audio and video list to help people recognize their emotional health and learn healthier forms of expression.
Healing Films: Stories that Give Strength
These selected films address topics such as mindfulness, trauma coping, and personal growth. Whether you feel lost, overwhelmed, or just need an emotional reset – here you will find new perspectives:
Stutz
A powerful documentary with psychiatrist Phil Stutz, who uses visual tools to help people deal with pain and uncertainty. Unforgettable quote: "Giving is all you can really do instead of holding on." For anyone caught in thought spirals or self-doubt.
Every Day a Good Day
A quiet Japanese film about the art of the tea ceremony and the wisdom of living in the moment. It reminds us: "Some things you only understand with time. They have to be lived." Perfect for stressed people under performance pressure.
TThe Shawshank Redemption
Classic inspiring films that show hope and perseverance in difficult times. The story of the protagonist Andy, who dug a tunnel out of his prison cell for 20 years, teaches us how to keep faith in despair.
Couples Therapy (Docuseries)
A raw, intimate look at real couples mastering communication challenges. It reveals an important truth: "It is more effective to change yourself than to try to change someone else." Ideal for those struggling with challenges in close relationships.
Soul
An animated masterpiece from Pixar that redefines the meaning of life not as a goal but as a feeling. Ideal for people suffering from professional overload or exhaustion.
Forrest Gump
Forrest shows with his purity and endurance that one can achieve extraordinary things even with limitations. "Run, Forrest, run!" becomes a symbol for never giving up.
A Beautiful Mind
The true story of mathematician John Nash and his life with schizophrenia. A touching film about vulnerability, courage, and dealing with mental illness.
Healing music: When melodies touch the soul
Music speaks directly to emotion – without detours through the mind. It can calm, energize, or release deep feelings. Here are some recommendations:
1. Nature sounds
Rain, ocean waves, wind in the forest – these sounds have been proven to help reduce anxiety. Tip: Natural Sleep Therapy.
2. Mindfulness & meditation music
For example, Sanskrit chants by Deva Premal or the minimalist piano pieces by Ludovico Einaudi – ideal for calm and focus.
3. Film music
The jazz pieces from Soul radiate vitality, while the meditative soundtrack from Walk with Me (about Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh) brings inner peace. Nils Frahm (Says) is also worth discovering.
4. Emotional songs with depth
Like Lost Stars from Begin Again – a song that hits right in the heart: “Aren't we all just lost stars trying to light up the dark?”
Integrate healing into everyday life
- Daily 15 minutes of image & sound: Choose a short film or a song – and just feel. No distractions, only emotion.
- Emotion journal: Write down sentences or melodies that touched you. Why did they move you?
- Create a Healing Circle: Exchange recommendations with friends – this creates connection instead of emotional isolation.
Emotional health doesn't mean never falling apart – it means being in tune with every feeling, every time. May these lights and melodies be your gentle companions on the path to greater self-understanding.
With care
