In an interview with Women’s Health, Normani talked about her wellness secrets. She says that she is meditating a lot these days. “I’ve been able to meditate more and take a time-out before allowing anybody else to affect my energy. Before I talk to anybody, before I look at a text, before I go on Instagram, I center myself in my room and pray and do breathing exercises and create my own space so that I have a foundation to walk on throughout the rest of the day.”

In an interview with Vogue, Normani talked about how she balances both working out and her rehearsal time. She says that she aims to workout three times a week. "I told myself, ‘I’m gonna work out every single day. And then I’m going to go to rehearsal.’ That didn’t end up happening because my body was sore after rehearsal, therefore, I couldn’t wake up the next morning and work out. But I would try to work out maybe three times a week, which is good for me.”

3. She Manages Her Acne

Normani has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her secrets with Vogue. Normani says that she struggles with acne, and uses products like the iS Clinical cleanser to help. “I really do have combination skin, but have struggled with acne for the last 10 years and it really has been a journey. Between using these medical-grade products that you can get over the counter; I also use Tazorac that my dermatologist put me on and it’s a game-changer.”

4. She Loves Yoga

Normani revealed to Women’s Health that she has started practicing yoga more. “I’m working out, but I’m also becoming more in tune with my body. Having more awareness about what’s going on pushes me to be in the now and to breathe, which is something I desperately needed because I’m always thinking ahead or dwelling on something that could’ve been better.”

5. She Hikes

Normani tells Women’s Health that she likes to go hiking to stay in shape. She even did it during the pandemic. “Doing it with a mask is hard. But [I’m] making it happen. I need to prioritize being more connected to nature. I’m motivated by making sure I’m always working toward something.”

I’m proud to be happy with who I am.”

“With the position I’m in right now, I have to work hard and make some sacrifices. So, boundaries are important,” she said about the importance of self-care. “I can do a bunch of interviews, but when I’m down to three or four hours of sleep, I have to [carve out some self-care time]. Creating a balance when working hard and going after all these amazing opportunities is essential. You have to be cognizant of your mental health, get enough sleep, drink enough water, and eat the right foods.”

“What goes into your body should go hand-in-hand with your beauty routine,” Ashanti told Prevention. “I have been on tour for months, and tour food is not good, but I am back on track with juicing and incorporating healthy food and exercise into my routine.”

5. She Prioritizes Her Mental Health

“My mental health is amazing,” Ashanti added. “I’m in a state of just being super grateful. I’m so blessed, and my heart is full.” Protecting mental health is vital for overall well-being. Firstly, prioritize self-awareness, recognizing signs of stress or distress. Regularly engage in physical activity, as it releases endorphins that combat depression and anxiety. Prioritize sleep, ensuring 7-9 hours nightly. Build a support system of trusted individuals to share feelings with. Engage in mindfulness practices like meditation or deep breathing exercises. Set boundaries, avoiding over-commitment. Limit exposure to negative news or social media. Consume a balanced diet, emphasizing foods that boost mood, such as omega-3 fatty acids. Finally, don't hesitate to seek professional help if feeling overwhelmed; therapists or counselors offer valuable coping strategies.
