Selena Gomez's Self-Care Routine Sounds So Darn Soothing

From breakfast to bedtime, here’s what keeps her sane. - by Lucy Bode
  • 21 May 2020

Want to know how to save your sanity while simultaneously juggling a successful career, social life and stress of a global pandemic? Selena Gomez has it down pat.

WATCH: Selena Gomez Says She Was Haunted By Her Popularity On Instagram...

The 27-year-old has been super open about her mental health in the past (she has an auto-immune condition called Lupus and battles bipolar disorder.) And while she recognises that "there isn't really one way to get through all this,” Selena’s certainly found something that helps: a self-care routine.

As part of Instagram's #TakeABreak takeover on IGTV this week, the singer gave fans a sneak peek into the practices she swears by.

“Hello, Instagram. It’s Selena Gomez,” she began. “I first want to say, how are you guys doing? Actually, how are you doing? I think right now it is more important than ever to talk about mental health, which is a subject that is very personal to me. So I am asking you guys to take a break with me and I’m going to show you some of the things that help me stay positive during this time, and see if any of it resonates with you."

First on the list? Her Dialectical Behaviour Therapy books. “Every single day I’ll look at a worksheet or if there’s something I’m working on internally, I’ll just kind of find a chapter that relates to me.” Then, if she’s feeling up for it, she’ll head to her “make-shift studio” to do something creative (e.g. write and work on music.)

Some good news! 💌⁣ Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) is here with a few of the activities that are providing support and helping her cope during these times. "I obviously know this is a hard time, and I just want to let everybody know who's dealing with stuff that you're not alone at all," says Selena. 💕⁣ ⁣ #TakeABreak with Selena as she shares her new routine and talks about the importance of taking care of yourself. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

“I usually take a walk at night so I can get rid of the day a bit,” she continues. “And then I come home, take a shower, wash my face.”

At night she swears by a heating pad (“It’s almost like an anxiety blanket but it feels really nice.”) “I will sometimes journal. And I have these beautiful little face sprays, rosewater, [and] a candle to help me," she added, picking up her dog, Daisy. "We just kind of get into bed, I turn off all my electronics, and I just relax."
