About this routine

Selena Gomez has spoken openly about her experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she developed the Selena Gomez mental health routine around key DBT tools to maintain emotional balance.

The core of this practice relies on TIPP skills, which stand for Temperature, Intense exercise, Paced breathing, and Paired muscle relaxation. Gomez uses these practical physical cues to pull her focus away from racing thoughts and back into the physical present moment.

Practicing this 25 minute sequence offers a clear blueprint for emotional regulation. Structuring these habits as a step by step morning routine helps establish steady grounding before daily responsibilities begin.

Why this routine works
