Jamie Foxx is exploring new ventures with a 'revived sense of purpose'

Jamie Foxx, known for his successful acting career, has been exploring other avenues and industries following his health scare earlier this year. A celebrity transformation coach has given some insight into this new spark of motivation and his likely "revived sense of purpose".

Noor Hibbert said: "When someone goes through a traumatic experience or a health scare, depending on who they are, it can often give them a revived sense of purpose, meaning and a sense of really taking life by the balls and fully experiencing it. It's almost a determination to make life count as we often take it for granted."

This mentality has been apparent in Jamie. He had previously on Instagram: "I've always lived by the rule that life is short, and you need to go out and do what you want to do."

Jamie's most recent enterprise is the launch of a new product for his alcohol company, Brown Sugar Bourbon. While it isn't the sort of thing that fans know Jamie for, it is a potential sign of a positive recovery from the mental trauma he faced. Noor confirmed that "going through a physical health scare is a trauma in itself".

She also said: "No one can judge if it is too early for Jamie to return to work or not, as his health scare is undisclosed. However, by putting himself through something he enjoys and being able to immerse himself into something that gives him purpose and fulfilment is going to be much better for his recovery, as opposed to retracting back and living in a state of fear or stress."

Jamie's determination to live life fully and return to some work could be fuelled by some fear, too. Noor said: "It is possible that Jamie is internally feeling scared and anxious that if he doesn't go back to work that it may impact his career and livelihood negatively."

She explained that although Jamie's career has been very successful and he doesn't necessarily need to do anything to maintain or grow that success, he may feel a "trickery of the subconscious mind" to do so.

Noor warned that "physical rehabilitation is one tiny part of the puzzle" and that emotional rehabilitation is just as important. She said: "If Jamie was my client, we would be seeking to understand what is happening with his subconscious mind, what is happening internally and what are the physical symptoms which are showing up as a result of the mind."
