Gisele Bundchen details her rigid post-divorce routine from her daily 5 a.m. meditations to working out six days a week: ‘My life is a little different’

supermodel, 43, admitted that her ‘life is a little different’ as she navigates sharing custody of her children Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11.

‘I have my kids sometimes, sometimes I don’t have my kids. There’s a different ritual when I’m with them and when I’m not,’ she explained. ‘When my kids are with me, they have so many activities. It’s difficult to manage my schedule and their schedule.’To ensure she is taking care of herself, the Vogue cover girl said she likes to ‘go to bed at about 10 p.m.’ and wake up to meditate ‘around 5 a.m.’

‘I like to have lukewarm water with a little lemon and Celtic salt,’ the mom-of-two said of how she starts her mornings.

The mom-of-two goes on to stretch, then feed and walk her beloved German Shepherd.

When asked how she remains so positive, the Brazilian beauty said: ‘To live in a state of gratitude is like a protection in your life.’

‘We can look at things like, why is this happening to me? I believe we are here because we all have something to learn and to evolve and to grow,’ she told the outlet. When I look back, the biggest, most challenging experiences in my life were all happening for me. They showed me that I was stronger than I thought I was.’

As for the one thing she will never eat, the former Victoria Secret Angel stated she believes white sugar is poison.

‘There’s so many other ways you can sweeten your things that are delicious. Honey, maple syrup, dates,’ she noted.

Ahead of the release of her cookbook, Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul, designed for people short on time who want to eat healthy, Bundchen confessed she is ‘not a chef.’
