Self-Care Secrets for Mental and Physical Health from Romee Strijd

Emphasizing the need of both physical and emotional well-being, Romee Strijd, the Dutch model renowned for her perfect beauty and accomplished career, stresses Self-care for Romee is about feeling good on the inside as much as outward looks.

Setting Mental Health First Priority


“Self-care is necessary; it is not selfish,” Romee has emphasized many times. She stresses in her wellness program the need of mental health.

Like many in demanding sectors, Strijd had periods of stress and anxiety over her career. She consistently schedules time for herself and develops awareness to keep balance.

Romee’s go-to methods for keeping her head clear are journaling and meditation. “I find that meditating just 10 minutes in the morning sets the tone for the rest of my day,” she said in a recent interview.

Along with mindfulness, Romee advocates gratitude journaling—that is, daily writing down of her thanks. This keeps her grounded in the here and now, upbeat, and targeted.

Keeping Active to Promote Physical Wellness


Still another pillar of Romee’s self-care schedule is physical exercise. She is not only a cosmetic fitness fan; exercise is essential for her to stay mentally well and to get energized. “Working out helps me to clear my head,” Romee said.


She works out in a balanced mix of aerobic, yoga, and strength building. “I love weightlifting because it makes me feel strong, not just physically but also emotionally too,” she said.


Yoga saves her on days when she is more anxious. “Yoga lets me slow down and concentrate on my breathing; it’s fantastic after a busy day.”

Nourishing from inside


Strijd also holds that the body should be fed the proper foods. Self-care for her consists of eating entire, nutrient-dense meals that nourish her body and mind.


She concentrates on fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean meats instead than overly processed foods. “You cannot expect your body to function if you are not properly fuelling it,” she remarked.
