1. She Doesn’t Let Challenges Hold Her Back

In a recent Instagram post, Gisele talks about her mindset when dealing with adversity. She says that she tries not to let challenges hold her back, and uses them to grow as a person. “Whenever we go through adversity, there is always the potential for reflection, transformation, and growth. When I feel down, I’ve learned it’s a sign I need to go inside myself and figure out what I need to work on in that moment. Pain is not the enemy (though it often appears to be)! Pain is a signal that tells us what we should work on and try to change. In this way, challenges can give us an opportunity to awaken, get stronger, and become better, more confident versions of ourselves!”

Gisele Bündchen is one of the most iconic supermodels of all time. She made a name for herself as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Bündchen is still modeling to this day. She shared a highlight on Instagram, and posted about a cause close to her heart. "From planting trees, regenerating springs and depleted soils, and protecting turtles, jaguars … everything impacts nature. The power of nature comes from its diversity, and it depends on it for survival. Every form of life uniquely creates balance on Earth so all of life can flourish. Like with people, our differences are also our strengths, and we get stronger when we work together. Last year, I started a project called Biomes to help regenerate the biodiversity of Brazil," she wrote. "From north to south, east to west, we selected seven projects in different regions of the country. Each biome's species have an important role in nature because everything is connected. Now, together with The Luz Alliance Fund in partnership with @brazilfound on Saturday, May 20th in Miami, we are having a dinner to raise more funds to expand our efforts and have a more significant impact."

Later in the morning, we'll have brunch with fresh fruit, eggs, avocados, gluten-free bread and coconut butter.”

4. She Cooks

Bündchen loves to cook healthy meals for her family. She shared some of her favorites with Vogue France. “I love the principle that 'the body is like a temple', and that by loving and nourishing our bodies, we can improve how we feel.

Read on for Gisele’s inspirational message and 5 other ways she takes care of herself 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. “Give Energy to Your Dreams”

Gisele wrote in full: "Miracles start to happen when you give energy to your dreams rather than your fears.

Every day is a new day—a new opportunity for change, a chance to put aside our fears and focus our energy on what we want to create. We can manifest anything we put our minds to!

With every step, every thought, every action, and every feeling, we create our own reality. So let’s remember to focus our energy on our dreams, and the lives we want to be living, and work to make them happen!✨✨✨

Os milagres acontecem quando você dá mais energia aos seus sonhos do que aos seus medos.

Todo dia é um novo dia - uma nova oportunidade de mudança, uma chance de deixar de lado nossos medos e concentrar nossa energia no que queremos criar. Podemos manifestar qualquer coisa que colocarmos em nossas mentes!

A cada passo, a cada pensamento, a cada ação e a cada sentimento, criamos nossa própria realidade. Então, vamos nos lembrar de focar nossa energia em nossos sonhos e na vida que queremos viver, e trabalhar para que eles aconteçam! #equinocio #happyequinox"

2. “We Need to Remember to Pause and Calm Our Minds”

In another inspirational message earlier this year, Gisele wrote: “2021 taught me so many things. Sometimes I felt like I was surfing in the middle of the ocean. Anyone who surfs knows you sometimes lose your balance and fall and go under. You swim to the surface for air, and then another wave bashes your head, and pulls you under the surface before you get a chance to take a breath. You can give in to despair and panic--you will run out of air, or drown!-- or you can choose hope, and stay calm, and let your body relax until the wave has passed and the water is calmer,” Gisele wrote in her lengthy Instagram post. “The challenges of life are the same. We all have to face them. Sometimes it seems we’ve survived one challenge only to find another one waiting to test us again. Just like with surfing, we need to remember to pause and calm our minds and relax our bodies, remembering that everything passes, and we can always re-emerge from difficult times and get the air we need before taking on the next wave,” she continued. “Caio Fernando Abreu, said, ‘Nothing lasts forever, neither pain nor joy. Everything in life is learning. Everything in life surpasses itself.’ It is with this certainty, as an eternal apprentice and with a heart full of gratitude, that I begin 2022 ready to continue experiencing everything life is waiting to teach me. Much love and light for all of us. Amen.”

3. She Meditates

Gisele loves meditating. “Meditation has been an incredible gift in my life. Just 10 minutes of practice a day can change your day--and creating a regular meditation practice can change your life. It has transformed mine! If meditation is challenging for you, perhaps you can start off with a guided meditation, or with some nature sounds, or mantras. Whatever works best for you,” she wrote in a recent post.

4. She Does Yoga

Gisele maintains that yoga has helped her connect with her inner self. “Many years ago, after going through one of the most difficult times in my life, I immersed myself in the very deep process of getting to know myself better.” She claims that with yoga, she “came out of that period stronger and happier.” She continued in the Instagram post, “and knowing that no matter how difficult challenges appear in the moment, they always bring with them an opportunity for transformation.”

5. Her Diet Is Mostly Plant-Based Foods

Gisele eats primarily plant-based, as does her husband, Tom Brady, and their children. "At our house, we try to eat organic foods that are in season and locally grown," she told Marie Claire. "We believe that by buying locally, we'll have a better chance at getting foods that are fresh and also support local farmers. We eat mostly a plant-based diet."

6. She Stays Active Outdoors

Gisele loves being connected with nature. "I love any type of exercise that I can do outdoors; horseback riding, biking, and skiing are some of my favorite ways to stay active and connect with nature," told Marie Claire. "Not only do these activities help me stay in shape, but they help in giving me clarity and perspective. Being active fuels my body, mind, and soul. It just makes me happy."

7. Her Approach to Health Is All About Moderation

“I’m not super strict and believe everything is OK in moderation,” Gisele confessed to Marie Claire. Her weakness? “My ultimate guilty pleasure is dark chocolate." "Chocolate and its main ingredient, cocoa, appear to reduce risk factors for heart disease. Flavanols in cocoa beans have antioxidant effects that reduce cell damage implicated in heart disease. Flavanols — more prevalent in dark chocolate than in milk chocolate — may also help lower blood pressure and improve vascular function," says the Mayo Clinic.

Chriqui opened up about her wellness routine to New Beauty. She says that she makes sure to focus on all the important aspects of wellness, and that she believes in having balance. “Wellness to me is cultivating good, empowering habits that make you feel good from the inside out.

Chriqui loves to practice meditation. She tells New Beauty that she makes sure to incorporate meditation every day. “I am a very regimented person,” she says. “I start every single day with TM (transcendental meditation). If I have a 5 a.m. call time, I will wake up 30 minutes earlier to get it in—it’s been a game-changer for me. It clears the cobwebs and makes me feel grounded and present.”

3. She Eats Healthy

Chriqui makes sure to eat healthy. She tells E! Online, she makes sure to eat a lot of produce and organic food. “I'm massively into health and nutrition,” she says. “And I'm just into clean eating whenever possible: lots of vegetables and lots of leafy greens. Trying to eat my food as opposed to trying to take a thousand supplements—which is something I'm just learning.”

4. She Loves Pilates

Chriqui shared some of her favorite workouts to New Beauty. “For fitness, I swear by Pilates,” she revealed. “Now, in my mid-40s, I am stronger, leaner and more flexible than ever before.” Better Health reports that Pilates has a lot of benefits. “Pilates can be an aerobic and non-aerobic form of exercise. It requires concentration and focus, because you move your body through precise ranges of motion. It requires concentration in finding a centre point to control your body through movement. Each exercise has a prescribed placement, rhythm and breathing pattern.”

5. She Spends Time Outside

Chriqui spends a lot of time outside. She shares a lot of outdoor photos on her Instagram. She posted this set of throwback photos of herself on a trip to Greece. In them, Chriqui walked by the beach. She captioned the post, “It’s freezing in Vancouver today.. I mean what I would do to be back in Greece, facing the water with the hot sun on my back.”

Hayek is all about body-positivity, and wearing what she wants. In an interview with Glamour, she recalled a conversation with her daughter about a revealing red-carpet look she wanted to wear. “‘But honey, you see the belly,” Hayek said. “‘You see that I have a belly. And I don’t want to be sucking it in.’ And then I said, ‘You know what? Screw that. I’m 56, everything else looks good.’”

3. She Speaks Out Against Sexism

In an interview with Vogue, Hayek talked about the sexism she’s faced in Hollywood. She makes sure to speak out against these standards. "Why should we let them give us an expiration date? I think there is a lot of sexism when it comes to age. They give us a lot of deadlines that they don't have, such as [the idea that] after a certain age, you lose your beauty or nobody will want to marry you. It's incredibly unfair. I wanted to make this character, who is strong, fierce, beautiful, sexy and ready for adventure because women my age, in their mid-fifties, can still be that."

4. She Swims

Hayek loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Hayek shared these photos and one video of herself taking a swim in the ocean at sunset. She captioned the post, “Every time I need to feel renewed, I jump into the ocean.” Hayek also posted this photo of herself swimming by rock formations, captioning it, “Today is #nationalwaterday but let’s not forget any day how precious water is.”

5. She’s Present

In an interview with Marie Claire, Hayak revealed some of her secrets for building confidence. “It’s about being in the present and being alive. When you’re present you forget certain things; I’m not thinking about how old I am when I wake up. I don’t even look in the mirror. Though, sometimes when I do look in the mirror I go, ‘Oh Jesus’, or I’ll think ‘How come I’m always tired?’ and I’ll remember, ‘Ah, I’m older now’. When it dawns on me, I make the effort to connect with life again. I’m just amazed that at my age I’m still working and having the best moment of my career. At this point I’m just grateful.”
