Marsai Martin

Marsai Martin is booked and busy, but the 'Black-ish' star stays centered through meditation, self-care, and journaling.

It all goes hand in hand and it's not for the people around me, it's definitely for myself and that is definitely what I like to take pride in. I think I was 13 or 14 when I first started getting into the relaxing scents, especially when appointments and my career and meetings started to pile up. Starting your days like that and documenting it puts into consideration what I can do before I go to work, or before I go into a somewhat stressful, very productive type of day. I feel all types of confidence when it comes to my clothes and the way I take care of my skin. As soon as I get home, I usually take a shower with some music or I take a bath. I have to make sure I drink it, but I'm always working, so it always catches me off guard. We mainly focus on the worst parts of the day or what took a toll on you and a lot of people don't focus on the positive things. I usually do mine sitting on the bed as soon as I wake up or before I go to sleep. Seeing her show her pockets of peace and showing how she moves [through] her day has really helped me because I feel, sometimes, that we focus on the negative more than the positive. Music and trying to rest, when I have time, helps me a lot. When it comes to meditation and putting your mind at ease, that doesn't take a lot at all. MM: I would say it's from my parents and they say mental [health] is everything.
