Shay Mitchell's Life Motto Is 'Go Out There & Be Adventurous'

Shay Mitchell is glowing on the March 2018 cover of Shape magazine!

The former Pretty Little Liars actress opened up about staying healthy, working out, and having no fear. Check it out:

On why she loves to workout: “I really love working out. It gives me confidence to know that my body is getting stronger when I exercise. I’m sweaty and I don’t have makeup on, but that is 100 percent when I feel my best. It’s me in my rawest form, doing something great for my body, pushing myself as hard as I can, and it feels so good. For me exercise is all about getting stronger. It’s not about weight. I’ve never even weighed myself. I don’t think you can trust the scale…Exercise is about how I feel. I have more energy when I work out. It makes me amped for the rest of the day, and I feel strong.”

On keeping a healthy balance: “I think having healthy skin (also) comes from being happy and having a balanced life. I work hard, I play hard; I eat a lot, I work out a lot.”

On having no fear: “I am so lucky because I get to do what I love every day – things I’ve always dreamed of. My message is, if I can do it, you can too. If you really want something, believe in it, and have drive and focus, and you can attain it. I’m more confident and optimistic than not. Every one of us has insecurities. I have a whole bunch of them, but I don’t dwell on them. Instead I focus on my strengths. After all, what’s the worst thing that can happen if you try something new and it doesn’t work out? So what? You don’t know what you’re going to be good at until you do it! The same goes for travel: Explore the world; don’t be afraid of it. Get out there and be adventurous – that’s my life motto.”
