When Bella Hadid returned from her 16-day social media break - she taught us all a thing or two about self-love.
You can create more zen in your life by using some of these best crystals for beginners (opens in new tab) and why not switch off like Bella and tune in to the best meditation apps (opens in new tab) but we sometimes forget to distance ourselves from social media.
The model, 24, admitted she needed to take some time away to "reflect" and "learn" about herself. And although she hinted that the findings were "too much to explain right now" she promised with time she would express herself to her fans.
And it seems to have done Bella, who likened her most recent hairstyle to Chucky from Rugrats cartoon, some good as she shared some unseen snaps taken during her wellness break.
Bella revealed how she felt in the caption. She explained: 'The memories and fortune I came back with are pure wisdom, a closer relationship with myself and my spirituality, a sense of self-love that I have always lacked, a few great friends, and these books that saw me through.'
In a modern technology-filled world it's so easy to forget the simple things in life like surrounding yourself with the ones you love, getting creative, or reading a book that will help open your mind. But Bella has reminded us all of its importance.
As the time out of the spotlight has enabled Bella to address her feelings. She said: 'I found myself, my strength and my light again. I am only here to be an instrument of peace & love to help people that suffer and hopefully the world, in time...'
Bella also thanked her fellow Victoria Secrets Angels, having credited them for "saving her".
She wrote, 'Thank you to my angels who have supported and have continued to love me, for me. You saved me. Take time to get help for your mental health. It’s worth it to get to your full potential.'
Among the books that have helped her through was one called The 11 Karmic Spaces: Choosing Freedom From the Patterns by Ma Jaya. The self-help guide reveals how and why most of us become stuck in karma and our habitual patterns of action and reaction.
Other things that have helped Bella find herself are coloring, reading a book called How To Love, as well as taking up much-loved hobbies including horse riding and meditating with crystals.
