Kendall Jenner just spilled tips to help her be her highest self, and they’re pretty awesome

Are you watching? The Kardashians or you’re one of her 260 million IG followers, you know that Kendall Jenner is no stranger to the spotlight but also to the wellness scene. IV therapy, cold dives, meditation singing bowls, and journaling are some wellness practices she is religious about. If that doesn’t convince you of her self-proclaimed obsession with health, her state-of-the-art space dedicated to all things wellness will. Complete with a hyperbaric chamber, red light therapy bed, and oxygen therapy machine, it’s every spa girl’s dream (Main envy). Gadgets and gizmos aside, Kendall has had open dialogues with the media and on social media about her mental health and struggles with anxiety.

Thanks to her recent interview with Jay Shetty on his podcast, On purpose with Jay ShettyI got the 411 on their self work and steadfast wellness rituals. Read on for how she stays in tune with her highest self. Spoiler alert: these are practices you won’t find on Hulu or Instagram, and we can all benefit from them.

Nurture your higher goddess

In Kendall’s work with her therapist, she focuses on living in her higher goddess, also known as her higher self. How does it look? Words of affirmation, reassuring yourself of who you are and realizing everything else is just noise. “Sometimes it feels strange to say good things about yourself, but I’ve also learned a lot about how to talk to yourself and how to look in the mirror and say, ‘You’re amazing. You’re beautiful. You are awesome. you are faithful You are positive.’”

Admittedly, Kendall falls victim to false narratives. Like all of us, she has moments when she struggles to stay true to herself and her purpose. “If your happiness depends on the actions of others, you are with [the] Mercy of the things you can’t control,” she said. Kendall emphasized maintaining his own happiness and not letting anyone else influence him. When you know yourself and the people important in your life know your true self, nothing else should matter. When Shetty Kendall asked, “What was something you used to appreciate but don’t appreciate now?” Her answer? validation.

Take time for yourself

It’s no secret that in addition to her entourage, Kendall is surrounded by a large family and famous friends (hey, Hailey Bieber). But she did tell Shetty that the scorpio in her has enjoyed being alone since she was a child. “I went through a phase where I felt like I needed to be with people,” Kendall shared. “I think I live a very social life and my job is very social, so I’ve been conditioned to want to be around people a lot. And then when the pandemic came, you’re not around that many people anymore. Now I’m enjoying being alone again, which is really cool.”

At the end of the day, Kendall craves a simple routine. Her perfect day consists of riding her horses, taking cold baths, stretching out and journaling. Take inspiration from Kendall, give yourself space and step back when necessary. Also, feel comfortable in your own company. Sometimes the best cure for a bad day is journaling (yes, it needs to be repeated), taking a walk outside alone, meditating, or taking up a new hobby.

Set boundaries at work

Let’s face it: we all experience burnout, celebrity or not. Kendall expressed that for a long time she was overworked, feeling overwhelmed and saying “yes” to every opportunity — to the point where she was unhappy. (Can anyone else relate?) Eventually, she learned to prioritize for herself. She realized that her well-being was necessary to better express herself in her personal and professional life. So she took a step back in her career to reconnect with her higher self: “I got to this point and I just knew I had to do it…” Kendall explained. “It was just such an incredible feeling that I had where I knew that if I do this I’ll be better for everyone. And I’ll be better for myself, which means I’ll be better for the people around me.”

Learn to recognize the signs of burnout (think fatigue, apathy at work, changes in your sleep patterns). Then enforce work-life boundaries to take care of your sanity and restore a healthy balance. Maybe that means being open and communicating clearly with your boss. Maybe it means taking some time off. Or maybe you’ll just say “no” to accepting more projects or a meeting invitation during your lunch break. Ultimately, your mental and physical health should be your top priority. (I know this is sometimes easier said than done.)

Stay grounded in your relationships

When it comes to her family and friends, Kendall told Shetty that honesty and communication are her core values ​​for maintaining healthy relationships. “I think it’s really important that you don’t feel like you’re on top of each other when you have your family or your friends around,” she said. “It’s okay sometimes, even when you’re at a family dinner, to run to the bathroom and just say, ‘Let me just take a few deep breaths because this is going to be overwhelming.'”

Kendall shared that she is prone to anxiety and can take things too seriously. When she feels overwhelmed by family circumstances or stress, she recognizes her feelings: “I’m allowed to feel this way; it’s valid. I’m just going to take a deep breath and not react, and then I’m going to get back out there and I’m going to be fine. Try to put yourself in Kendall’s shoes (wouldn’t that be fun?) and stop if you feel overwhelmed. Give yourself a safe space to express your feelings. Do this by keeping a journal, talking to a psychologist, or practicing deep breathing.

Nurture your inner child

Following a viral TikTok trend that encouraged viewers to stop negative self-talk by imagining their younger selves, Kendall’s therapist suggested she do it differently: Find a photo of yourself as a child to bring it up to set her bathroom mirror. Take a look at her Instagram and you’ll see young Kendall’s polaroid. It serves as a daily reminder that whatever negative thing she says about herself, she says about this radiant, bow-tie-wearing younger version of herself. “If I ever look in the mirror and I’m negative about myself, I always look straight at her and I’m like, ‘She’s stupid and I love her,'” laughed Kendall.

Bottom Line: Practice self-love and find tactics that work for you. Maybe it’s by practicing mindfulness or by putting yourself and your needs first. Maybe preparing a healthy meal is easy. Regardless of your method, stay kind to yourself as you would your 5-year-old self or your best friend
