Award-Winning Actor Allison Janney Shares Her Zen in Live Happy's February Cover Story
DALLAS (PRWEB) January 03, 2018 -- Fans know and love her from movies and TV shows such as The West Wing and Mom, and her recent portrayal of LaVona Golden, the gritty mother of Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in the movie I, Tonya, is already generating awards-season buzz.
In this issue of Live Happy, readers get to know actress Allison Janney off-camera as she shares intimate details of her real life, such as what brings her the most joy (walking her three rescue dogs) and how she stays calm amid Hollywood chaos (practicing meditation and taking time out for herself now and then).
“I made a commitment to be more aware of what makes me happy and to reflect on what I want to do,” Janney says. “I am still focused on what I can do to make someone else happy, but I gave myself the gift of taking time to also listen to myself, honor my thoughts and wishes and not put myself by the side.”
She also shares her script for the perfect Valentine’s Day date, including her No. 1 rule for dating.
Readers searching for that elusive Fountain of Youth in the new year might start by looking inside themselves. As Live Happy details in its latest issue, groundbreaking new research shows that people's thoughts and behavior play a bigger role in aging than previously realized.
