Mandy Mooreis opening up about how her wellness routine has changed since becoming a mom.
TheThis Is Usstar, 37, covers the March issue ofHealth, in which she speaks candidly about her experience with motherhood and how she finds time for self-care as mom to son August “Gus” Harrison, who turns 1 later this month.
Moore, who shares her son with husband Taylor Goldsmith, says she’s “being easy on [herself]” right now when it comes to practicing a wellness routine.
While the actress says she wishes she could “find the time to sort of incorporate some of those practices again” she continues to stay positive when “it’s not feasible.”

“I try not to get down on myself about it,” she says. “If I do have free time and I’m not working, I’d much rather go on a walk with Gus than rush off to go get a facial. However, that’s not to diminish how important that stuff is, too. I feel like I’m just constantly walking that tightrope of what is going to suit me best today.”
The mom of one also shares what has been the biggest surprise to her about motherhood.
“Every day is different. It is overwhelming on a level that I never expected,” she admits. “All of the clichés are true. The love is so immediate.”
“And I was like, ‘Is this feeling going to last forever? Am I just going to feel unworthy, unprepared? Is this just the foreseeable future?’ And a week later, I found my equilibrium again,” says Moore. “I remember people telling me that everything is a phase and not to get too set in your ways about anything — and it’s true.”
Moore also describedher experience as a first-time momwhile gracing the cover ofParentsmagazine’s December 2021 issue.
“Not to sound cheesy, but all the clichés are true. Life is Technicolor now. It just makes sense in a way that it didn’t before,” she said. “I had no idea that this degree of love existed in the world.”
