People talk about energy; they openly assess whether the vibes feel aligned.
A business meeting might begin with a reflective moment for intention-settingor a meditation to help everyone ground.
Even Zendaya seems a little surprised.

I really didnt know what to expect, she tells me afterward.
But what an icebreakerI was filled with anxiety before I arrived.
The anxiety, I find out later, is ongoingand part of the reason were here.
(In fact, it was Zendaya who initiated the partnership, not the brand.)
Other than that, theyre still figuring it out.
It inspires me; I want to support what theyre doing.
In other words, the vibes were alignedbut the promise of designing some clothes seemed equally enticing.
Despite (or is it because of?)

Im excited to help.

Still, she freely admits that its somewhat ironic for her to be partnering with an athletic-wear brand.
Despite her hard-won athletic prowess inChallengers, she doesnt regularly exercise a ton.
Im not the best at keeping up with it.
But when Im not working, I tend to isolate myself.
I have to really be intentional about taking care of myself.
Im learning to be more responsible for myself and for my own body and looking after it all.
I venture to set little challenges for myself.
It helps to feel like youre not the only one.
Looking around the meditation room, Zendaya sighs.
ListenIm just learning the importance of breathwork and meditation now.
I was just going, going, going, going, going.
I feel like Ive been holding my breath for a very long time.
