DO WHAT FEELS GOOD
“I’m not a natural wellness warrior. I have friends who go
to longevity conventions. They take crystal baths. For me,
I try to make it to yoga three or four times a week. It’s a
different story when I’m working on a film, though. I work
out with a trainer, and I do a lot of strength training and
HIIT when I need to do that.
“With eating, my number-one thing is trying to buy
food that doesn’t come in packaging. Beyond that, I try
not to eat red meat, and I try not to eat pork.
“But generally speaking, I’m pretty low-key about all
that stuff. The balancing [of my approach to keeping in
shape] is important to me. My go-to for a lot of my life
was to feel badly about myself, and I just don’t want to
do that anymore.”
KNOW YOUR VALUE - AT ANY AGE
“Rushing out the door this morning, I grabbed a coat I
have had for probably 12 years. It’s one of my favorites,
and it made me feel chic and put together when I was
undercaffeinated and bleary. It’s just a coat. It’s not a
big deal, but I felt really proud that I spotted it in that
shop and had earned the money myself to spring for it.
I have cared for it all these years, and that younger me
made such a good call that older me is still enjoying.
The accumulation of 12 years of love and pride in a good
decision is something you don’t get right off the bat. It
takes time, and it’s a feeling you have to be a little older
to enjoy.”
“I’M SATISFIED
WITH MISTAKES
I’VE MADE.
AND I FEEL
EMPOWERED
TO CHOOSE A
DIFFERENT PATH.”
