"I had not realized how much the normal pace of life was overburdening our bodies, our minds, and our nervous systems," the Goop founder explains. "As we have been forced into the confines of our own homes, that has brought up a lot of emotional distress for some, and for others, it has been very peaceful. In my case, I have experienced both."
Like so many of us, Paltrow explains she has really enjoyed the slower pace of life, and spending more quality time with her two teenagers."Now I feel different, letting my body go to sleep and wake up in its natural rhythm, having my kids around all the time, eating meals together and having meaningful conversations."
She continues:"We linger at the table; our dinners are an hour and a half long. My heart feels fuller, and my mind feels calmer in that respect."
Paltrow, who has built a business empire around women's health and wellness, explains she kept up her workout routine during the pandemic lockdown, something the cover images from Shape clearly shows.
"I try to do exercises every day for my back and neck because of all the Zoom calls I'm on. My husband, Brad, and I take a walk at least three or four times a week. And I've been doing a lot of online classes: Tracy Anderson, the Class by Taryn Toomey, Bulldog Yoga, CorePower Yoga."Explore more on these topics:
