Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Feb 19 (NationPress) Pop icon Rita Ora reveals that she starts each day by reciting mantras to herself in the mirror, focusing on ignoring the negativity from online trolls.
The 35-year-old artist expressed that hurtful remarks on social media can be deeply impactful, but she reminds herself daily that she cannot control others' opinions and aims to let go of such thoughts, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
In her Instagram series, she stated: "You shouldn’t fear what you can’t control. If you can’t influence it, stop worrying about it. These are the affirmations I repeat to myself in the mirror every single day. Being active on social media places you under a significant amount of scrutiny.
"I believe there are very few who haven’t experienced its effects in some capacity.
"Whether in the public eye or not, comments can inflict pain. Every little thing is amplified, and everything is visible to all. While public figures may have more eyes on them, the walls around them are just as delicate."
Despite this, the Poison hitmaker noted that her self-doubts are what contribute to her ability to create great music.
She added: "Those uncertainties are actually what inspire me to write meaningful songs. I enjoy practicing and honing my skills."
Rita’s mother, Vera, emphasizes that the most crucial aspect is her daughter's happiness.
Reflecting on Rita’s early success, psychiatrist Vera remarked: "Initially, I thought, 'Oh my God, she’s thriving, loving it, and showing her talent.' My hope was for her to be happy and pursue what brings her joy, but as a parent, I pondered what that world would hold for her. As long as you find happiness, that is what truly matters."
Rita made these remarks during an episode of her new Instagram series, Rita, in collaboration with Meta.
In her Instagram post, she wrote: "Engaging on social media places you under a considerable amount of scrutiny. Regardless of who you are, we all experience its effects in some manner. Words can inflict deep wounds. Let’s be kind to one another. Episode 4 of Rita is available now."
