LeAnn Rimes - Cue up a Meditation App

Breath your way back to balance like Rimes. “Eddie and I are big on [meditation apps],” the singer told Us of herself and husband Eddie Cibrian in July 2018. “I actually got him into it when he was like … ‘Yeah, whatever.’” Though she said her friends like Headspace, her top two suggestions are different. “Insight Timer is my favorite,” she said. “And then 10% Happier, which is Dan Harris’ app that he did, which is really great.”

Jamie Chung - Let Body Weight Exercises Shorten Your Routine

Sure, the Gifted actress likes to start most days moving with a power vinyasa — “it’s about your state of mind and giving yourself some endorphins,” she told Us in August 2018. But she admits she has a shortcut up her sleeve for days when she’s just not feeling it. “If I’m super lazy I’ll say, ‘OK, let’s just start with 50 situps, then 50 more, then 15 pushups and go from there,’” she revealed, adding that she’ll often tack on squats. “It’s about being super conscious of what you do to your body and what you put in your body.”

Kristen Bell - Try CBD Oil

“I take a CBD tincture every day, because I truly believe in the healing powers of that plant,” Bell told Us of the marijuana-derived wellness tool in September 2018. “I take it every day because CBD has no psychotropic effects, so I can be with my children.”

Kate Walsh - Hydrate With Enhanced Water

“I drink a ton of water. I know it's so basic and boring, but I do,” Walsh told Us of her self-care hack in November 2018. “I put lemon in it and apple cider vinegar in it. I have literally a half gallon jug sippy cup thing that has a built-in straw that I bring everywhere, and it's my adult sippy cup.”

Jonathan Van Ness - Do Easy Yoga Asanas

You can get all the benefits of yoga without the super challenging poses. “I practice every morning,” the Queer Eye star told Us in October 2018 of yoga. “Anyone that wants to get into yoga, I always encourage them to remember that it's really not about the poses or the way it looks, it's about the way that it feels, right? So yoga literally means to yoke or to union, and the union they talk about is between your body and your breath. It's really just about getting your brain to calm down long enough so that you can listen to the sound of your breath leaving your body, which is very important these days, I think.”

Tracee Ellis Ross - Just Say No

You can blow off that commitment you made for later today! “To me self-care does not mean going to the spa. It’s learning to say no. It’s knowing yourself so you can make choices that are an expression of you. That’s self-care,” the Black-ish star said in October 2018. Of course, Ross also has beauty priorities, adding, “I put masks on my face.”

Olivia Culpo - Light a Travel Candle

Culpo’s got a whole bunch of relaxing tricks up her sleeve: “I love baths. I love journaling. I love meditating. I love talking to my friends on the phone,” the star told Us in November 2018. But lately, she said her favorite tool is a scented candle: “Recently I've been traveling with a candle so, when I'm in a hotel, or on the road, I can have something that smells good.” (Note: This hack also does the trick on, say, a stressful holiday visit to your childhood home.)

Tyra Banks - Relax to the Max

When she needs it, the model and reality star is a proponent of unwinding to the extreme. “I get massages,” she told Us in November 2018, adding, “I watch TV in bed with my son, we love to go to restaurants. My son loves a restaurant.”

Lea Michele - Try a Sleep Ritual

If today's already a bust, make like Michele and focus on sleep. The Glee alum counts on quality zzzs to set her on the right path for the next day — and she doesn’t take any chances. “Sleep is so important, I absolutely have a routine,” the actress told Us in August 2018. “First, I love taking baths. Baths are so good.” Bonus points for Epsom salts and lavender oil. After that, it’s a cup of tea, soft pajamas and a book in bed. “Something calm for your mind and letting your body wind down,” she explained. “I try to turn off all the lights and keep my space as calm as possible and really Zen. Because it's so important, and then you wake up feeling so good and you have all the energy that you need to conquer your day.”

Sarah Drew - Journal Your Thoughts

When you feel like you can’t move your legs, surely you can still move a finger! “I’m a big journaler,” Drew told Us in September 2018. “When I’m at home, I go out and sit by the pool and kind of greet the day journaling and getting all my thoughts out, thinking about all the things I want to think about and offering gratitude prayers and whatever.” More than anything, the practice reminds her that being still is OK. “I’m usually going 100 miles an hour and it’s a great reminder just that, whenever I look at the journal and whenever I’m getting ready to journal, that I just need to power down and allow myself to have this place to be still and to rest.”
