Odeya Rush is boating in her bathing suit. In a recent social media post the Goosebumps and Cha Cha Real Smooth actress flaunts her incredibly fit figure in a bathing suit while on the water. "Mrs Worldwide," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Goddess," commented one of her followers. "Prettiest girl," added another. How does the 26-year-old Israeli actress keep herself mentally and physically fit? She has a few lifestyle habits that help her achieve her goals.

Positive Thinking

Odeya abides by the power of positive thinking. "I really like Louise Hay. I love her books and her audio," she told Byrdie. "Sometimes when I wake up in the morning and I'm stressed, I need just to be reminded of how you control your own thoughts and how you can take this thought and shift it into a positive place. So yeah, I love Louise Hay. She's really helped me. And really just watching what you're saying to yourself, because so quickly you can wind up in a really negative place out of nowhere and your thoughts just spiral. So when bad thoughts come up, I try as much as I can to cancel them out with something positive or to shift my focus to something else, because the more I do it the more I know it'll be a habit for me."

Not Focusing on Her Flaws

Odeya confessed to Refinery 29 that she "struggled with acne for a long time," but learned how to deal with it. "I had pimples here and there growing up, but at 20 years old, I developed a face full of acne. When you're working and constantly having to be on camera, it can bring you down because a part of you wants to cover it up — but the more makeup you put on, the worse you're making it. My acne started calming down last year, but I still get blemishes," she said. She has a trick for dealing with the mental aspect of skin woes. "It's about looking in the mirror and not focusing on it. Repeating the affirmation that I have clear skin has helped me. With acne, you think everybody is looking at it, but it's not as big of a deal as you're making it in your head."

Hiking

Rush loves getting outdoors and going for a hike. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

Beach Walking

Odeya loves walking on a beach in the warm sun. "I do better in the heat, let's just say that! I grew up in a very, very hot climate. I'm just better in the heat, I get cold super easily," she told Byrdie. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Simple Skincare Routine

Odeya keeps her skincare routine simple. "I was using so many different random things that I'd read about—every person you meet when you have acne recommends something, and that doesn't mean it's right for you," she told Byrdie. "My skin is much better now. I use Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen every day, and I use a hyaluronic acid from the Ordinary, and I also use a .5 retinol at night—that made the biggest change in my skin, I think. So now I've found what's right for me, but I wish I'd found it back then."
