Selena Gomez is speaking out about a huge change she’s made — and how it has drastically changed her life!
On a recent appearance on Good Morning America, the 29-year-old actress, singer, and activist opened up about her decision to take better care of her mental health by doing this one thing: Stay offline.
Selena revealed:
“I haven’t been on the internet in four and a half years. It has changed my life completely.
I am happier. I am more present. I connect more with people. It makes me feel normal.”
She went on to say that experiencing childhood stardom led to this major decision:
“Growing up in the spotlight has definitely taught me so much. I can’t believe that I’m where I am mentally just because how I took the necessary steps in order to kind of remove myself from that because it’s just not normal.”
Selena and her mom Mandy Teefey, along with businesswoman Daniella Peirson, have jumpstarted the mental fitness company called Wondermind. Wondermind provides mental health resources online for free:
“I really want people to be understood and seen and heard. If I’m known for anything, I hope it’s simply just for the way I care about people.”
She also candidly spoke about celebrating a milestone birthday this year. Selena is turning 30 in July:
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to just step into this chapter alone, independently, strong, confidently. That’s all I really want. I’m excited.”
