This Is Ashley Tisdale’s Secret to Managing Her Anxiety - Article Health

Ashley Tisdale is about as different as can be from her well-known High School Musical character Sharpay Evans. In real life, she's a hike-loving, meditation-doing, regular girl who deals with stress and anxiety just like the rest of us. One outlet for her stress? Her lovable Maltipoo Maui, who, like her mother, also suffers from anxiety at times. Here's how Tisdale keeps both of their nerves at a manageable level.

On her exercise routine
"I like to exercise five times a week, and I feel like that helps me stay really strong and also less stressed," Tisdale tells Health. One of her favorite ways to fit in a workout is by hiking with her pup. "It really helps to clear my mind, and I love to be outdoors in Los Angeles."

On the importance of meditation
During fashion week, Tisdale posted a video on Instagram on her way to a fashion show, and mentioned that while going to events like those can cause her anxiety to spike, listening to music helps her calm down.

Another self-care strategy she swears by? Meditation. Tisdale meditates daily with 10 minutes of mindfulness each morning, and tries not to have too much caffeine. "I’m a huge coffee lover, but it actually makes me more anxious, so I just do one cup and meditation," she explains.

On how she gets Maui to calm down
Little known fact: dogs can suffer from anxiety. Tisdale describes her own pup's panic episodes as just what you would expect from a human—shallow breathing, shaking, the works. To keep Maui at ease, Tisdale has discovered Happy Hempies ($30 for 30 treats; bestbullysticks.com), a hemp-laced dog treat that leave her canine at ease. (Tisdale is an ambassador for the brand.) "It's the best way to keep her calm," she says.
