Being a singer, Cabello naturally has to learn choreography for her music videos and live performances. She posted this behind the scenes video on Instagram of herself learning choreography for her “Don’t Go Yet” music video.

5. She Loves Paddleboarding

Cabello grew up in Florida, so she is used to spending time at the beach and by the water. One of the things she likes to do at the beach is go stand up paddle boarding. She posted this series of photos of herself on the board on Instagram. She captioned it, “Nothing to do, nowhere to be.”

“Nothin to do nowhere to be,” the 24-year-old captioned a photo of herself standup paddleboarding in a black bikini. The body confident singer stood aboard her board, holding a paddle in the air while posing for a photo. "Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) has moved away from just a resort sport-something you can only find at fancy beachside properties-to an activity that you can do anywhere you can find a body of water. You can take a SUP class, go on a SUP trip, and rent SUP boards at most sporting goods stores," says Shape.

2. Stand Up Paddleboarding Is a Great Workout

A recent study conducted by The American Council on Exercise (ACE) found that standup paddleboarding offers a majorly beneficial core workout and is also a great form of cardio. And, from the look on Camila’s face, it is super fun as well. "ecause SUP involves maintaining your balance on a board with water underfoot, the belief is that your core muscles need to fire more to steady yourself. Study participants paddled at three levels of difficulty-light, somewhat hard, and hard/heavy (but not at maximal exertion). Researchers found that when people paddled at or above a light level of perceived exertion, the erector spinae (muscles of the back) and rectus abdominis (abdominal) muscles were stimulated enough to boost strength. The external obliques, on the other hand, weren't activated enough to improve strength unless people were paddling really hard," says Shape.

3. Camila Continues to Celebrate Her Body

During her beach vacation, Camila has been proudly showing off her curves. In a recent TikTok video titled “I luv my body” that went viral, she explained that she is full of self-confidence. “Being at war with your body is so last season. I am grateful for this body that lets me do what I need to do. We are real women with curves and cellulite and stretch marks and fat and we gotta own that baby!"

4. She is Anti-Airbrush Generally

It’s likely that the star isn’t using any filters or airbrushing her photos either. In 2019, she reminded fans that the bodies seen on social media aren’t always as real as they seem. "I'm writing this for girls like my little sister who are growing up on social media," she wrote in an Instagram story. "They're constantly seeing photoshopped, edited pictures and thinking that's reality, and everyone's eyes get used to seeing airbrushed skin, and suddenly they think THAT'S the norm. It isn't. It's fake. AND FAKE IS BECOMING THE NEW REAL." She added that "a completely unrealistic view of a woman's body," is promoted. "Girls, cellulite is normal. Fat is normal. It's beautiful and natural."

5. She Is Committed to Authenticity

“No matter who the person is or how much I want to impress them, I’m not going to let that rule how I act, how open I am, or what my opinion is,” she once told Elle about her commitment to self. “I’m just going to be myself. I listen to my gut. That’s all I can do.” "Self-compassion means accepting yourself as the imperfect person that you are. When you embrace the idea that you'll never be perfect, you can accept that mistakes are an important part of your life's journey that contribute to who you are. Being kinder to yourself also boosts your resiliency and makes you kinder and more compassionate toward others," says the Mayo Clinic.

And she always puts her mental health above even her career. “If it's affecting my mental health in a negative way, I'll say no and do it another way,” she told HungerTV.com.

2. She No Longer Is An “Anxious Eater”

In Cabello’s Glamour interview, she admitted to being an “anxious eater.” “I have this pattern of eating a lot when I’m anxious or uncomfortable,” she says. “It’s a comfort thing for me. I’ll just kind of become unconscious and zombie-eat a lot, and then I’ll feel sick.” However, Cabello said her boyfriend, singer Shawn Mendes, has helped her overcome this. “I’ve told Shawn about that. So at the VMAs party, I was like, ‘I’m doing it.’ And he was like, ‘It’s okay. You’re doing it. That’s okay. Let’s just take a breath and not do that.’ It’s really good for me to be able to talk about my patterns with someone.”

3. She Goes To Therapy

Cabello revealed to Glamour that she is in therapy, and that this has helped her deal with pressure and negativity from the public and social media. “When stuff that’s negative is out there, it’s going to get to you,” she says. “So yeah, that’s very, very challenging. I feel like it’s another thing therapy has been really helpful for.”

4. She Meditates

Cabello is a huge fan of meditation, and she has released videos for the Calm app called “Breathe Into It.” Cabello says in her video, “By sharing my own journey, my hope is that we can continue to destigmatize conversations about mental health and asking for support.” Cabello revealed that meditation has helped her get through some of the biggest struggles in her life.

5. She Practices Self-Love

Cabello doesn’t just practice self-love for her mental health, she also thinks it helps her keep her healthy lifestyle. “When I’m having negative thoughts about my body, that’s actually when I’ll want to binge-eat cookies, and then I have a stomachache,” she says to Glamour. “It’s this weird psychology: The more I love my body, the more I actually want to take care of it…. As long as I’m healthy and working out and feel good, that’s the best I can do. There’s no point in trying to have another kind of body.” Cabello credits her trainor, Jenna Willis, with helping her overcome her insecurities and silence the voices in her head.
