Chrissy Metz's Journey With 'Weight Issues' Is About 'Progress, Not Perfection'
, the 39-year-old actress reflects on living life on her terms and shares her tips for turning goals into realities.
From practicing gratitude and meditation to blocking out the haters, Metz has a number of guidelines she tries to follow. "I will make sure I'm eating what's going to be good for me and not, like, eating in the car and rushing," she says about making her morning as zen as possible."I didn't realize how much an extra 35, 45 minutes would change my life, but it sets the tone for the whole day. It's like, whatever happens, I'm going to figure out how to react to it in a sane way and not from a place of harried chaos.
Some of Metz's other practices include being thoughtful about what she posts on social media and whom she follows. She also talks about holding herself accountable for her happiness. "It's peace of mind knowing that I can't blame other people or make excuses if I'm not happy," she says."Knowing that I feel good because I am being diligent about taking care of myself mentally, physically and emotionally creates self-esteem. Staying consistent and rigorously honest is hard; it's a daily practice. But no one is going to do for me what I need to do for myself.
