Jennifer Lopez meditates to calm her mind

Pop star Jennifer Lopez says she starts and ends her day by meditating.

Lopez, 46, said she began practising the mind-calming technique last year as she juggled performing at her Las Vegas residency, filming her police drama series “Shades of Blue”, and offering her advice to aspiring artists as a judge on American Idol, besides looking after her eight-year-old twins Max and Emme, reported People magazine.

The method of relaxation proved vital for the singer-actress to keep her from becoming frazzled, and she has continued to meditate to help keep her mind and body at ease.

“Last year, I was doing all three things at that time. I took on meditation. (Putting aside) 20 minutes a day in the morning and at night... was necessary. It was almost like my brain, for the first time in my life, felt like, ‘OK, you bit off more than you can chew’,” Lopez said.
