Troian Bellisario Opens Up About Wellness In New Interview

Troian Bellisario recently opened up about her personal wellness in a new interview. The newly wed wrapped filming on Pretty Little Liars this year and is now setting out on a more personal venture. Highlights from the interview are below.

On what wellness means to her: “Taking care of yourself and listening to your body. It’s a constant struggle, I think, because we have a world that’s full of deadlines, alarms, time restrictions, and little devices in our hands that tell us where to go and when to be there. But wellness is really quieting all of that exterior stimulation down and trying to listen to your own body about what it means.”

On her biggest wellness struggle: “To be honest, because I have such a complicated history with food, the biggest day-to-day struggle is just making sure I maintain a healthy diet. Even if you are several years into your recovery, whereas some people may just forget to eat or be too busy running around to eat, that is a very significant stress on my mental state, and it links back to some really unhealthy habits. Making sure that I eat in a healthy way and on a pretty regular schedule — and making meals a social activity and not just shoving a protein bar in my face in the dark just to make sure I have fuel — is my biggest wellness struggle.”

On her best wellness advice: “Just listening to your body. It’s a daily practice, and it takes a lot of quiet and stillness to really listen to your body — to listen to what it needs for nourishment and to listen when it’s thirsty, and not just feed it a soda or coffee. Just give it water and take care of it. Listen when it wants to stretch its legs and walk out in the sunshine, and when it needs a day to sit on the couch.”
