Danna Paola in Bathing Suit Has a "Little Escape From Reality"

Mexican singer Danna Paola is enjoying some rest and relaxation, taking a break from her nonstop schedule of acting, singing, and performing. The 27-year-old superstar posted a photo of herself wearing a sparkly black bathing suit, captioning the post "Little escape from reality."

For Paola, staying active is key to her health and happiness. "On a physical level I always say that exercise is pivotal," she says. "It doesn't have to be a workout, because the truth is that for me, the most important thing comes from the inside out, but I also think that the body is a temple and you have to take great care of it, you have to give it love and care."

Paola uses meditation to deal with anxiety. "I have been very well informed and I am grateful to life for everything that it teaches me," she says. "It also has to do with knowing how to handle your moments of anxiety, your breakdowns, your mental health, and this is something that I deal with every day. I always seek to have therapy, meditate, exercise, eat healthy, so that I can also be good with my body and brain. It is very difficult because the world of music and acting is very crazy… it is not easy."

Paola previously said her big goal for 2021 onwards was taking care of her emotional wellbeing. "Focusing on my mental and emotional health," she says. "I feel very happy at this point in my life, but I'm trying to find a balance between my career and my personal life. Professionally, I have another project in mind that's a music concept I've been working on for the past three months. I know I'm launching my new album, but I already want to work on my next album and discover new artists to work with."

Part of Paola's goal to prioritize her mental health is taking full ownership of her career, after years of feeling controlled. "I always had people telling me what to do, how to act, what to say, what to sing and I wasn't completely the owner of my life as an artist until now that I've taken the reins of my career," she says. "The perfect team arrived. The people around me believe in me. The past four years have been the most controversial and cathartic where I've learned about myself more than before. I learned to believe in myself as a person, as a singer, as an actress, and that I can do more than I believed."

Paola makes a point of hiring as many women as possible on her team. "As a woman in this industry, I need to work with women because we need to support each other—no one else is going to do that," she says. "All of my dancers are women. I'm not here to compete with other women because we already have enough machismo to deal with."
