The Yankees have another October 2 worth savoring — and this one was extra sweet

Thursday was for savoring. Thursday was for officially putting an end to the hex the Red Sox had held over them since the 2004 ALCS. Thursday was for the ol’ days, when the Yankees always had an answer for the Red Sox. Maybe they just needed an old push from an old helpful friend —…

  • Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles says taking naps is key to her wellness routine.
  • For a 10-minute break, she says she’s often on Pinterest or rewatching her old performances.
  • She says that as she’s gotten older, she’s also become an advocate for therapy — for athletes and non-athletes alike.

Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, 24, is great at balancing — both on the beam and her daily responsibilities. It’s all thanks to her wellness routine.

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.

Beyond her skincare and hair care routines, Chiles says she makes sleep a priority.

“I’ve also become very serious about my naps,” Chiles told Marie Claire. “Even though I have three dogs, I don’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’m constantly traveling for work.”

Whenever she needs a quick 10-minute break, Chiles says she’s usually online.

“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’ve come puts things back into perspective for me. Yes, I’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,” Chiles said.

Some items that she keeps close include her Bible, as well as her iPad, which she uses for coloring, she said.

When it comes to food, Chiles isn’t one for strict diets. She says she sticks to the food she enjoys and steers clear of anything that gives her trouble.

As she’s gotten older, Chiles says she’s come to see the benefits of therapy for her mental health.

“I had a sports psychologist when I was younger, and I didn’t like it because I didn’t see the point of talking to someone about my life,” Chiles said. “However, as I’ve gotten older, therapy has become something that I really advocate for, whether people are involved in sports or not.”

A representative for Chiles did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.

Chiles joins a growing list of athletes sharing how they care for themselves beyond training.

In 2023, Michael Phelps told Business Insider that he enjoys journaling and avoids electronics at night to get enough sleep.

In March, Stephen Curry told Business Insider that his nighttime routine involves spending some quiet time at home with his family.

In July, WNBA star Caitlin Clark said that one of her favorite ways to manage stress is rewatching Disney classics.
