Let’s be honest: With the pace of life, some days it can feel like just brushing your teeth should be celebrated as an act of self-care.

But maybe you do regularly honor a window of time in your day to move…breathe…reflect…to take care of yourself in a way that increases your sense of wellbeing. There’s no question that self-care can benefit your mental, emotional and even physical health—according to National Institute of Health, self-care activities can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness (including heart disease) and increase your energy.

Staying healthy, and happy, can help maximize your impact in your world. In recent months, The Healthy @Reader’s Digest has spoken with leaders in pop culture, sports and wellness about how they take care of themselves. Here are the self-care practices each told us they practice every day to keep them grounded and peaceful.
