According to Beyoncé, You Simply Must Listen to Your Body
Beyoncé: singer, actress, entrepreneur, mother, wife, daughter, and, most importantly, human. In the September Icons issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the multifaceted powerhouse opened up about the weight of all the above, and how she, as a human, learned to bear the heaviness. Sure, we all have the same 24 hours as Beyoncé, but we all have different experiences, responsibilities, and approaches to how we deal with life. And after decades in the spotlight, she shared that to understand what self-care meant to her, she had to listen to her body.
“I think like many women, I have felt the pressure of being the backbone of my family and my company and didn’t realize how much that takes a toll on my mental and physical well-being,” Beyoncé shared in the interview. “I have not always made myself a priority. I’ve personally struggled with insomnia from touring for more than half of my life . . . I know that to give the best of me, I have to take care of myself and listen to my body.” From her sleep patterns to her emotions, and all that’s in between, every habit matters.
