Diana Ross Dazzles at 81 During New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Leaving Times Square in Awe

In a June 2025 interview with People magazine, Ross shared several key elements of her daily routine and personal philosophy:

Staying active: She noted that she swims regularly to help maintain flexibility and overall physical health.

Prioritizing rest: Ross emphasized the importance of adequate sleep for balance and recovery.

Mindful eating: While she strives for a healthy diet, she also joked about enjoying occasional treats like Häagen‑Dazs ice cream.

Mental and spiritual grounding: “The love for what I do keeps me grounded — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually,” she said. Ross also noted her daily practice of morning meditation and evening prayer to manage stress and stay centered.

These habits, she suggested, contribute to her sense of well‑being and sustain her creative energy — a message that resonates with both young fans and peers alike.

LE SSERAFIM — adding international pop energy.
