In 2021, Biles told People that the pandemic allowed her to reassess her life. Specifically, she started to make her wellness a priority. "This past year has really been about taking a pause and trying to focus on all the good things in life. I've slowed down a bit and been able to take more time for overall wellness.” To cope during these tough times, "Regular physical activity and exercise can help reduce anxiety and improve mood. Find an activity that includes movement, such as dance or exercise apps. Get outside, such as a nature trail or your own backyard," says the Mayo Clinic. "Choose a well-balanced diet. Avoid loading up on junk food and refined sugar. Limit caffeine as it can aggravate stress, anxiety and sleep problems."

One of the reasons Biles doesn’t pay attention to haters? She’s comfortable with herself.

That's definitely helped me not think about it."
