After having endured an emotional year, Jennifer Lopez has offered a glimpse into her approach to self-care and well-being. Speaking to People, Lopez reflected on the intensity of the past year, which included the end of her relationship with Ben Affleck and the resurgence of public attention surrounding her past with rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, now embroiled in multiple accusations of sexual assault. Yet, despite the turbulence, Lopez remains resolute in her dedication to balancing the demands of her life with the need for personal rejuvenation. 

What Her Self-Care Looks Like

Lopez, 55, and mother to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max has long prioritized a consistent wellness routine to help manage the stresses that accompany her high-profile lifestyle. “I make sure to exercise to keep my energy up and find moments to relax and recharge, whether it’s through a little affirmation or a brief meditation of mindful breathing for a few minutes in the morning,” Lopez shared. These practices, she explained, are crucial to maintaining her focus and composure, particularly when balancing the high expectations of her career with the demands of motherhood. 

In the quiet moments of the evening, when her children are asleep, Lopez finds solace in a routine that offers a personal escape. “Then I say, ‘OK, this is my time.’ I put on my face mask. I watch The Great British Baking Show or whatever’s on TV,” she said. These rituals, simple yet sacred, reflect Lopez’s commitment to carving out time for herself, even amid the pressures of fame. 

Though her life has been marked by public scrutiny, Lopez continues to navigate it with a sense of purpose. In addition to her acting career, Lopez is expanding her beauty empire with JLo Beauty and preparing for the release of Unstoppable, a film in which she plays the mother of an athlete with a disability. “I want to keep challenging myself to evolve and try new things while staying true to who I am and the people I love,” Lopez explained. 

Why All This Matters to Jennifer Lopez?

For Lopez, self-care extends beyond physical rituals. She finds peace in the company of family, particularly during the holidays. “I look forward to spending time with my kids and my family that comes from the East Coast,” she said. “The holidays are a very special time for us, and they’ve always been since I was a kid.” In moments of respite, she also reaffirms her commitment to her inner peace, aiming for a deeper connection with herself and her faith. “I think it has a lot to do with a deeper connection with myself and with God, making sure that we are in sync with ourselves so we can be excellent for all the people we love,” she reflected. 

As she looks to the future, Lopez remains focused on maintaining her equilibrium amidst the chaos, pushing her boundaries, and evolving — both as an artist and as a person.
