It&#039;s all thanks to her wellness routine.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Marie Claire in an interview published on Wednesday, the athlete spoke about some of her favorite ways to unwind and stay in peak condition.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond her skincare and hair care routines, Chiles says she makes sleep a priority.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#039;ve also become very serious about my naps,&quot; Chiles told Marie Claire. &quot;Even though I have three dogs, I don&#039;t necessarily have human children, so I cherish the ability to take quick naps when I can because it really helps me regulate my nervous system, especially since I&#039;m constantly traveling for work.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Whenever she needs a quick 10-minute break, Chiles says she&#039;s usually online.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I love browsing Pinterest and scrolling aimlessly, but I also watch old videos of myself and my performances. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by my life and schedule, but for some reason, watching how far I&#039;ve come puts things back into perspective for me. Yes, I&#039;m a two-time Olympian, and I do all these things, but it reminds me of the little girl who wanted to be a great athlete and inspiration,&quot; Chiles said.<\/p>\n<p>Some items that she keeps close include her Bible, as well as her iPad, which she uses for coloring, she said.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to food, Chiles isn&#039;t one for strict diets. She says she sticks to the food she enjoys and steers clear of anything that gives her trouble.<\/p>\n<p>As she&#039;s gotten older, Chiles says she&#039;s come to see the benefits of therapy for her mental health.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I had a sports psychologist when I was younger, and I didn&#039;t like it because I didn&#039;t see the point of talking to someone about my life,&quot; Chiles said. &quot;However, as I&#039;ve gotten older, therapy has become something that I really advocate for, whether people are involved in sports or not.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>A representative for Chiles did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.<\/p>\n<p>Chiles joins a growing list of athletes sharing how they care for themselves beyond training.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Michael Phelps told Business Insider that he enjoys journaling and avoids electronics at night to get enough sleep.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Stephen Curry told Business Insider that his nighttime routine involves spending some quiet time at home with his family.<\/p>\n<p>In July, WNBA star Caitlin Clark said that one of her favorite ways to manage stress is rewatching Disney classics.<\/p>\n<p>Read the original article on Business Insider<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olympics gymnast Jordan Chiles Tim Clayton\/Corbis via Getty Images Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles says taking naps is key to her wellness routine.
