The 62-year-old actress – who is currently single and has three adopted sons, Roan, 20, Laird, 15, and 14-year old Quinn – believes self-care is very important and one of her favourite ways to relax is by getting out her pens and pencils and making colourful pictures.
Discussing looking after mental health amid the coronavirus pandemic, she said: “The most important thing we can do is stay in touch with others. Zoom calls are a real godsend but another important thing we need to do is self-care.
“Go and take a shower or have a really good bath. Why not pull up a yoga mat? How about painting, drawing or colouring in?
“I have a bunch of colouring books on a table with some big jars of pens and pencils. I sit and do those all the time.
“I do them with my kids or with a friend and I find it to be a really nice way to centre myself while we're talking. It's very calming."
The ‘Ratched’ actress warned about the importance of protecting mental health while having to isolate from others amid the global health crisis because she thinks its easy for people to spiral once they have lost their sense of self after being kept away from the things they love.
In a recent interview, she said: “It's extraordinarily important that we all look after our mental health, especially now with this pandemic.
"This time has been very difficult for everyone because people are losing everything that they identify themselves with. When people lose their sense of self, they lose their sense of steadiness and that becomes a dangerous thing."
