Sleep

I love, love sleeping. I prioritise it now more than ever. Once you get privy to the information about how much sleep affects every functioning organ, you can’t forget it. It kind of changes when you’re single; you get to redesign your sleeping routine. I had to go through the whole “It’s so weird to sleep in a bed alone” for a little bit, but now, I definitely have a ritual. I hunker down and get off the screen as soon as possible. It helps a lot, getting the lights low and starting to tell your brain, oh, it’s time to wind down.

Eat

My mantra is “find what feels good”, so I try to walk the talk. If I’m travelling or if it’s a night where I want to indulge in food, I certainly allow myself to; but I’m generally pretty disciplined and stick to whole and unprocessed food. I haven’t eaten meat since I was a child, but I tend not to say that I’m a vegetarian. In the early days, I was trying to play against the labels a little bit. If I’m on the road, I pack a tonne of healthy food for the long flights.

Work

It’s definitely a dance trying to balance digital, on-camera and live events work with being a healthy person and having a life. But the only way we learn to embrace the practice of balance is by going off balance, so it’s all good. You want to be focusing on three things intimately rather than 300 things in a half-arsed way. I’m working on that.

I’m also trying to learn Spanish, and there’s no way I can go to class if I’m working 80-hour weeks. With the immense juggle of my life, I have to grind it into my brain: eight hours, eight hours.

Family

I have great relationships with my parents, who live in Austin, Texas. It’s only now as I get older that I realise how valuable and special that is. I don’t have any siblings and my parents separated a long time ago, so I wish I had more time to spend with them, one on one. If I’m leaving on a big trip, I always try to see them before I go; it never seems enough.

Fun

It’s kind of a cliche, but I love being at home with Benji, my dog. He’s good for my soul. He’s just the epitome of unconditional love, and everyone loves a darling boy like that. I like using Benji to deflect some of the attention off me. Just to guide the energy, you know?
