Actress Alice Dixson became aware of a few changes in her physical and mental health which were brought about by staying cooped up at home during the quarantine.

Because of this, she was inspired to try meditation. She chronicled her 30-day experience with daily meditation in a new vlog.

"Tamang tama i-test ko ito kasi katulad ng iba, I was feeling sad and lethargic during lockdown. Wala akong gana to do much of anything," she says in the video.

"At 'yung mga bagay that help me detach from stress and worry were not so healthy katulad ng oversleeping, drinking wine and binge-watching shows," she continues.

To help her with her journey, she contacted photographer and meditation coach Sara Black.

"If you're just curious and you want to dable, I will suggest for you to find an online meditation. You can go to Spotify or YouTube. There's a lot of guided meditations there where you just sit and listen to the teacher guide you through the minutes of the meditative practice," Sara suggests for beginners.

Sara also stressed the importance of finding a good teacher should you decide to fully commit to meditation.

"When you've done enough of that and you feel like you want to go deeper, I will highly suggest for you to find a teacher so you can get the real tools and techniques," she says.

Alice enrolled in Sara's 30-day online meditation class. She also made a list of her intentions and the things in her life that she wants to improve.

"Everyday, I try to do the live online sessions. Some days I would also try on my own," Alice shares while admitting that her mind still wanders sometimes.

In a previous vlog, Alice also tried intermittent fasting for 30 days.

She has also chronicled her and her celebrity friends' quarantine experience.
