Rita Ora is proud of herself for “prioritizing” her mental health.
The pop star — who tied the knot with Hollywood director Taika Waititi in 2022 — reflected that this year she has been looking after herself more than ever and has tried to stay on a “clean path” for the sake of her well-being.
“Making it through emotionally, mentally and physically,” she told Spotify when asked about her proudest achievement of 2023. “I’ve been prioritizing my mental health, working out and not being as crazy and focused on other things and trying to stay down a clean path.”
Meanwhile, the “Anywhere” hitmaker is due to start work on her fourth studio album in January and is feeling “excited” to get going with the project as she teased that she also has a “couple of films” in the pipeline.
“I am really excited. I just want to keep going now. I just don’t want to stop. I am doing a couple of films next year, too,” she said.
Ora recently explained that she has learned to live in the present because no one actually has any idea what will happen in the future.
“What’s the point? Because you would never know anyway what your future holds. So, what’s the point of being uncertain?” Ora told BLAG Magazine when asked what advice she’d give to someone who is uncertain about their future.
“I know this thing that my therapist tells me all the time,” she continued. “It’s like, why put your body through something twice? You know when you have stress about the future or the past. It’s like your body doesn’t really know the difference.
“So, if you can avoid putting your body through something twice, you should really try and do that. So that’s what I’ve been working on,” she said. “So, it’d be probably like, what’s the point? Just try and do what you can in that moment you’re in, rather than worrying about what’s going to happen in the future. Therapist’s words, not mine!”
