She says to People that she stays consistent and stays on her current track, and she sees results. “I worked out so hard and everybody is like, ‘Oh, she looks so skinny blah, blah, blah,” she says. “But I think that if you just stick to something you can really achieve so much.

1. She Writes

Hadid is open about her struggles with anxiety and her mental health. She revealed some of her favorite wellness practices to Bustle. “I love to write poetry and to write in general, but when I wake up in the morning and I have brain fog, I’ll get frustrated because I’m like, ‘How can I not write?’ But using your brain is how you continue to help it function better. For me, journaling for 30 minutes in the morning before I get on my phone helps with my anxiety.”

2. She Meditates

Hadid likes to practice meditation. She tells Bustle that this is one of the things she likes to do each morning. “I do a gratitude meditation. Just to start my day and say, ‘I’m grateful that I’m alive, I’m grateful for all that I have.’ These aren’t huge things, but they’re what help me get through the day in a positive way so I can reinforce good habits.”

3. She Has Time To Herself

Hadid says that her time to herself is extremely important. She revealed some of her favorite things to do in her spare time to Bustle. “I plan acupuncture, a massage, or a vitamin IV. I might also just chill and take a bath. I’m pretty low-maintenance when it comes to my time off. Sometimes what’s best for me is to do absolutely nothing and not feel guilty about it.

4. She Takes Time Away From Her Phone

Hadid has a large presence on social media. However, she revealed to W Magazine that she has to spend time away from her phone for her own wellbeing. “I’ve realized my growth, mentally, when I’m not on my phone,” she said. “When I am on my phone, I realize how much more it affects me because all of a sudden I’ll be staring at this thing and realizing I’m comparing myself again. I’m looking at myself differently. I’m talking down to myself. I’m not with my family.”

5. She Stays Active

Hadid tells W Magazine that she likes to keep busy. She says that she is constantly doing things to stay active. “When my brain is active, that’s when I genuinely feel better. The whole frontal lobe of my brain was asleep because modeling wasn’t stimulating for my brain. And so, just being able to do things that make me happy a few times a week, even if it’s just driving to get pizza in Brooklyn or something at night—it’s just little fun things that make you feel better.”

Bella Hadid is going for a sunset swim. In her latest social media post, the statuesque supermodel shows off her gorgeous physique while going for twilight swim in the ocean. In recent years, the model has totally evolved her approach to health, wellness, and self-worth, making lots of changes so she can live her best life ever. Read on to see 5 major ways Bella Hadid has changed her approach to health and wellness and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Incorporated Positive Affirmation Into Her Day

Bella recently revealed to Vogue that she added a feel good ritual to her day: She sends herself positive affirmations nearly every hour using an app called I Am. During her interview she received this one: “I’m dissolving old patterns and letting new patterns emerge.”

2. She Stopped Paying Attention to the Numbers

Bella has a history of disordered eating. In high school a psychiatrist prescribed extended-release Adderall for her inattention, thinking it might simply be ADHD, which suppressed her appetite and eventually led to her anorexia. “I was on this calorie-counting app, which was like the devil to me,” she told Vogue. “I’d pack my little lunch with my three raspberries, my celery stick. I was just trying, I realize now, to feel in control of myself when I felt so out of control of everything else.” She still battles body dysmorphia. “I can barely look in the mirror to this day because of that period in my life.”

3. She Embraced Her Beauty

Bella was just 14 when she underwent plastic surgery, a nose job, which she now regrets. “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors,” she told Vogue. “I think I would have grown into it.” Bella maintains she hasn’t done anything to her face since. “People think I fully fucked with my face because of one picture of me as a teenager looking puffy. I’m pretty sure you don’t look the same now as you did at 13, right? I have never used filler. Let’s just put an end to that. I have no issue with it, but it’s not for me. Whoever thinks I’ve gotten my eyes lifted or whatever it’s called—it’s face tape! The oldest trick in the book. I’ve had this impostor syndrome where people made me feel like I didn’t deserve any of this. People always have something to say, but what I have to say is, I’ve always been misunderstood in my industry and by the people around me.”

4. She Prioritized Her Mental Health

Bella has been very open about her mental health issues. She suffered “burnout” in 2021 which led her to near-suicide before she opted to get help. She checked into a treatment program in Tennessee for over two weeks and added talk therapy and medication, Wellbutrin, to her holistic regimen. “For so long, I didn’t know what I was crying about. I always felt so lucky, and that would get me even more down on myself. There were people online saying, You live this amazing life. So then how can I complain? I always felt that I didn’t have the right to complain, which meant that I didn’t have the right to get help, which was my first problem,” she told Vogue.

5. She Cut Back on Drinking

Hadid did Dry January for the first time in 2022. "Over the years, I've always found myself reverting to alcohol when I feel low energy, or my anxieties start to come up. I've really scaled back my alcohol consumption this year and have made brain care my ultimate priority,” she told InStyle in a recent interview. "Moderation is everything for me. While I rarely get 'drunk' anymore, I've completely stopped drinking hard alcohol… I have learned what my body can and can't handle. I'm a 'glass of Champagne and head home' kind of girl."
