Olivia maintains "it's all about balance," when it comes to health and wellness. "I think anyone who's ever had even a small period of their life where they clean up their act — first begin to eat healthy food and exercise and use natural products — they'll always say … I feel my best. But sometimes it's hard to sustain that lifestyle. You know it's tricky for anybody to stay totally clean," she told CNBC Make It. 

Staying in shape isn't just going to the gym, says Olivia. "Qhen you have an option to walk or take a car, walk if it's an option. I'll take the stairs," she told CNBC. "There's often a way to [be active]. Rather than sitting at home and taking a call and doing a phone meeting, walk around. You could often incorporate activity into your life."

Olivia gets her zen on. She is a fan of Transcendental Meditation. "I'm not consistent enough…. I want to get better at that," she told CNBC. "When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress," says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

Olivia lovers making nutritious smoothies. "I've found it's a constant in my smoothies. I'll use banana, almond milk, almond butter, then some kind of green—maybe spinach or kale and blueberries. Sometimes I'll use cacao to make a yummy chocolatey thing that tastes more like a shake than a smoothie. People who do just straight green smoothies are too intense for me," she told Well + Good. 

"If I have time, I'll work out after the kids are off and settled. I'll work out in my house, or if I have time I'll go to a studio or a class—but I have less and less time to do that, so it's all about finding stolen moments," she told Well + Good. "Now that I'm doing a play, in my dressing room if I have 20 minutes before a show, I know enough routines to do my own and squeeze it in when I can."

"I love a good dance class. I like contemporary, I like hip-hop, I like ballet—yeah, I think dancing is the most fun kind of workout," Olivia told Byrdie. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

"[When it comes to] our relationship to our bodies and celebrating our bodies, we all come to that from very different perspectives and experiences," Olivia told Vogue. "I am someone who has had two babies, I'm in my late thirties, and I love my body now more than I ever have. I enjoy the opportunity to take care of myself. That's what my beauty ritual is: Taking care of myself and celebrating my body at this stage of my life."

 

"What this past year has taught me is the most valuable thing we have in life is time and the freedom with which to spend it the way you want to and with the people you want to. I think that it really affects your health. The way that you view your time affects your health and choosing to spend time focusing on your family, on people you love, on your health and exercise," Olivia told Vogue. "I probably started exercising more this year than I had in a while and it's because I feel better that I ever have. I think sometimes, you know, it's the chicken or the egg. Will exercise make you happier? Do you have to be happy to work out? I don't know, but I am in a really good place in my life. And that translated to taking care of myself better than ever. And I'm spending my time in a way that allows me to have a generally healthier, happier lifestyle." 

Olivia prioritizes hydration. "Finally finding that water bottle that you don't mind having everywhere. I decided that that's really the key: Get the water bottle that you actually like reaching for and you'll find yourself drinking way more," she said. "It's really funny because it's the Nalgene water bottle. The most simple, old-school one is the size that I find that I don't mind having with me everywhere. It's a step in the right direction. It's still, you know, made of plastic. So it's not the best thing in the world. I also have the titanium ones. But I've moved fully away from, you know, plastic, like the Fiji water bottles that I used to have everywhere."

Olivia is all about taking "me" time. "Hiking, swimming, reading, meditating, taking baths, being quiet… the opportunity to be quiet. I do consider exercise to be a me-time ritual too. It's impossible to get all of those things in a day, let alone a week. But I aim to incorporate them into my day. I also think ridding yourself of social media. I know it's hard when you work in an industry that relies heavily on it. But on a personal level, I really have found that to be something that has brought a lot of peace into my life," she told Vogue.
