THIS IS HOW HENRY CAVILL APPROACHES FAILURES

In a conversation with “Balance”, Henry opened up about how he finds opportunities in everything and drags himself out of failures. He said,

“I try not to think of negatives, or what someone else may consider a failure or a miss professionally speaking. I just think of them as another stepping stone or a part of the journey, because it can’t all be sunshine and gloriousness; there have to be darker days for you to appreciate the better days. And I’ve been very fortunate to have good people around me: people I can trust”.

He further added, “Even when things are bad, you can make good out of them. It’s a matter of trying to find the goodness there and reminding yourself that it’s about being happy.

HENRY BELIEVES THAT A WALK CAN IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL WELLBEING

In the same interview, Henry revealed that he loves going for a walk as it helps in building rhythm. He said,

“Sometimes working out can help. And I do find â€" this sounds silly, but going for a walk makes a massive difference. My mother would always swear by this and still walks for miles. It’s a great way of building a rhythm for the body so the brain can start working. If you have a problem, something you’re trying to work out or something that is really getting to you, instead of sitting on the sofa or screaming into the bathwater, go for a walk. A rhythm will be created and you will be able to work out what the problem is and be more at peace. It is to do with the rhythm you create from walking, I believe”.
