1. She Meditates
Danielle is all about getting her zen on. “Meditation is to dive all the way within, beyond thought, to the source of thought and pure consciousness. It enlarges the container, every time you transcend. When you come out, you come out refreshed, filled with energy and enthusiasm for life,” she quoted David Lynch as saying in a recent post.

Danielle, who has been open about suffering from uterine fibroids, prioritizes her gut health. One way she does this is by drinking Kombucha.”I always understood the importance of probiotics but now more than ever I’m focusing on staying positive and being proactive with my healing. This is my personal experience so please follow your own journey based on your doctors recommendations. Each healing journey is unique,” she wrote.
3. She Swims
Danielle spends a lot of time swimming in the ocean. “Throwing it back to a sunny day in my favorite place,” she captioned a recent post. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, the CDC says. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
4. She Takes Baths
Danielle also shares a lot of photos of herself soaking in the tub. Baths, which have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression, are an easy way to interject self-care into your routine. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
5. She Paddleboards
Danielle enjoys paddleboarding in the ocean. “Soaking up ALL the energy from that big battery in the sky!” she wrote in the caption of a photo of herself out in the ocean. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.
