In a special Wondermind interview, tennis icon Serena Williams told famous singer Selena Gomez what does mental fitness means for her. “I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Serena Williams about what mental fitness looks like for her,” Selena Gomez wrote on Instagram.
Here is Serena Williams take on mental fitness: “Mental fitness for me is just really learning to shut down. I did this years ago before mental health was like a topic among everyone’s mind, it was more just like, alright, I’m shutting myself down today.
Just subconsciously it was something I’ve always done. And so now, now that I know that it’s so important to just put yourself first, especially mentally, I always have shut down moments. I have serious boundaries.
And I don’t let anyone cross those boundaries, with time, because for me it’s so important to make sure every day I have like a period of like – and it’s so bad because I don’t really do anything for me, and I’m terrible at that.
And I’ve said it time and time again, I’m working on it! But more or less like, at least prioritizing what I need to do, and then when I’m turned off, I’m turned off,” said Serena Williams.
According to Selena Gomez, the full interview will be available on the official Wondermind site.
