How Southland's Regina King Stays Happy

Southland star Regina Kingshares her guilty pleasures, how she beats stress, and what really keeps her grounded.

When I want a fun night out … I have to be honest, I’m not the ultimate party girl. I’ve been a mom for 13 years. A fun night out is pretty easy for me. It usually involves a bottle of wine and friends.

The most surprising thing I’ve learned about myself from being a mom is … I have patience! Who knew!!!

My best healthy eating habit: eating at least one salad a day.

When it comes to food, my biggest weakness is … that’s a hard one. I loveall food! It depends on the mood. I love sweets. I love fried foods. You fry it, I’ll try it.

My favorite workout is … a quick one. Or something that doesn’t feel like you’re working out, i.e., dancing, racquetball.

My feeling on birthdays: Grateful to have lived another year! I always make time for … a family member or friend who needs an ear. They do the same for me.

I usually beat stress thanks to … my dog. He’s a big one, and he has to be run/walked. So it forces me to take at least 30 minutes to release any tension I may or may not have.

My happy-life motto: Become friendly with the present moment, even if this present moment doesn’t feel so great.

The most important lesson I learned growing up is … to share. It makes you feel good.
