Buddhism has helped me to cope with fame, says Camila Cabello
Camila Cabello has revealed how she copes with the pressures of fame and success.
Camila Cabello is "really into Buddhism".
The 27-year-old pop star has revealed that she's found various "mechanisms" to cope with the pressures of fame and success, including embracing Buddhist philosophical ideas.
Camila - who shot to fame as a teenager as part of Fifth Harmony - said on the 'Armchair Expert' podcast: "I don't think I would've changed when I started [ in the music industry], because so many parts of my personality today are because of the tools and the skills and ... some adaptive and some maladaptive mechanisms that I had to develop to survive and thrive.
"For example, I'm really into Buddhism. That would have never happened, because I need those tools - being calm and being able to pull through. But also, it carries over to other life stuff where I feel like I'm wiser than I would have been."
Camila also admitted that the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be a turning point for her.
The 'Havana' hitmaker actually managed to develop a number of new life skills - including learning how to cook and how to drive - during the global health crisis.
She reflected: "I grew up fast but then there have been times ... like, for example, COVID when I learned how to drive and I learned how to cook, and I was just living the most normal life."
Camila has enjoyed huge success as part of Fifth Harmony and as a solo artist.
However, the chart-topping star is constantly making small adjustments in order to find the ideal balance in her life.
Camila explained: "Life is like riding a bike and you're constantly balancing. It's like ... 'Oh, a little more weight here!' Just, like, tiny adjustments."
