"I
get stressed out quite easily, so I have to work a lot to stay
calm," she said in an interview.
"Being in the public eye is like an extra layer of stressor that
luckily most people don't have to experience because it can be
very wearing, but I think I've had a lot of maturity and
development around not really engaging with those projections."
Paltrow's latest collaboration with meditation app Moments of
Space is part of that self-love journey, the 51-year-old said.
"At this point in my life I really know who I am. I'm friends
with myself and I don't spend any time thinking about what other
people think about me because I don't find it beneficial. So,
anything I can do to kind of strengthen my relationship with
myself is really valuable to me."
The artificial intelligence-powered app focuses on an eyes-open
approach to meditation, allowing users to engage with the world
while meditating.
Paltrow, who runs the lifestyle and wellness company Goop, was
drawn to the project because she felt it was missing from her
brand.
"I suppose what I really liked about it was I never knew that
there was such a thing as eyes-open meditation," she said. "I
knew that when I took a walk through the woods by myself, I felt
I could go into a kind of meditative state but I didn't know
that there was an actual practice you could do along with it."
"I'm doing it right now and I'm still able to formulate thoughts
and talk to you but I'm able to sort of tap into this reservoir
of calm," she said, demonstrating the practice during the
interview.
Paltrow has not acted in nearly four years. Is she on a hiatus
or has she retired from Hollywood?
"I definitely could not pursue it right now, my day job is just
way too all-encompassing," she said.
"I couldn't, not with my job here at the company, but I think
I've learned at this point to never say never."
