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.
