Nigerian singer and actress Omawumi says she deliberately avoids taking herself too seriously as a way of protecting her emotional wellbeing.
The award-winning artiste explained that deeply engaging negative emotions often traps her in moods she finds hard to shake off.
“When you take yourself too seriously, you can get into a place you can’t easily come out of,” she said in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.
“You start breaking everything down, how you feel, why you feel it, and for me, it doesn’t help.”
Omawumi said her decision is not driven by fear, but by experience. She explained that when she allows emotions like anger to take over, the feeling can linger long after the issue has passed.
“The thing that caused the anger might have stopped, but I can still stay there for three days,” she noted. “So it’s a conscious effort not to give room to that.”
According to her, choosing a less complicated life has brought her contentment, especially as a wife and mother.
“The less complicated life is, the more content I will be,” she said Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo
