The celebrity guide on how to beat stress

Kendall Jenner, who suffers from anxiety, chats to friends and family when she’s feeling anxious.


1. Meditate

Take 10 minutes out of every day to do something which leaves you feeling peaceful, and allows you to gather your thoughts and relax.

Angelina Jolie swears by meditation, admitting: “I find meditation in sitting on the floor with the kids colouring for an hour, or going on the trampoline.”

2. Talk things out

Kendall Jenner, who suffers from anxiety, chats to friends and family when she’s feeling anxious. “My way to de-stress is either listening to music or talking to my sister Kourtney,” she says.

3. Keep your mind active

Find a hobby or take part in activities you enjoy. Brad Pitt says when he is going through a stressful period, his mind wanders to architecture.

“I walk around the yard and start thinking about what I need to do to the house structurally. It’s similar to puzzles in that way, like a crossword puzzle or anything else I can put my mind into. It’s a relief for me.”

4. Take some time out

Selena Gomez does that often – probably after every Justin Bieber breakup, too. “I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own languages,” she says.

“I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness, and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off.”

5. Follow a healthy lifestyle

What goes into your body plays a role on what comes out. Michelle Obama swears that staying healthy keeps her sane.
