Elle Macpherson stopped drinking as it was blocking her from being \u2018fully present\u2019 in life<\/p>\n
The supermodel \u2013 dubbed \u2018The Body\u2019 by Time in 1989 \u2013 is set to turn 60 in March and says she feels better than ever as she approaches the landmark, thanks partly to quitting booze in 2003.<\/p>\n
She told Body and Soul magazine: \u201cI stopped drinking in 2003 because I felt I couldn\u2019t be fully present in my life and it was a wonderful springboard of getting to know myself on a deeper level.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody has their own journey and I\u2019m not interested in telling other people what to do but I know that this was a decision that I\u2019ve never regretted<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough it required discipline and persistence the bottom line is you can\u2019t be well and present in your life if you\u2019re not present and well, and alcohol doesn\u2019t really support that.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to get to know yourself if you\u2019re numbing yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMum-of-two Elle recently posted an image on Instagram of her Alcoholics Anonymous tri-plate token marking 20 years of sobriety.<\/p>\n
\nThe model-turned wellness guru, who is dating US musician Doyle Bramhall, 54, added about ageing: \u201cI feel incredible. I think that\u2019s the most important thing. You say I look incredible but I feel that way.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI just love that sense of vitality and I\u2019m grateful for my life, I\u2019m grateful for my journey and I am loving turning 60.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nElle, who has sons Flynn, 25, and Cy, 20, has endured the ending of two marriages, the breakdown of her relationship with the dad of her two children, the French financier Arpad Busson, 60, as well as public battles with former business associates, issues with alcohol, and a period in a rehab facility in 2003.<\/p>\n
\nShe said about taking care of her health as she ages: \u201cI spent many years tending to my outer appearance as \u2018The Body\u2019 and really living up to other people\u2019s expectations of me.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cToday I find my life way more fulfilling and enriching as I focus on my inner wellbeing and balance because that delivers peace and joy and love.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI don\u2019t focus on ageing. I think it\u2019s more important to focus on the quality of the life that you\u2019re living and how you\u2019re living life to the fullest.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThey always say it\u2019s not the years in your life it\u2019s the life in your years. That\u2019s what I like to help people with, which is how they can live their life to their fullest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
