She also said understanding why this happens also helps, which is why she will \"constantly try to fill myself with knowledge of what it is that I am feeling and the triggers that happen to me.\" Gomez said that doing that allows her to \"take a step back and think of all the tools I've learned and try to implement them in my everyday life.\"

The \"Lose You to Love Me\" singer, 29, also encouraged her followers to exercise, even though she's not a fan of it herself. \"I hate working out!,\" she quipped. \"It is not fun.\"

Despite how she feels about working up a sweat, Gomez said taking \"intense boxing classes\" helps her mentally, because she's able to release her pent-up frustration and energy. \"It feels so good,\" she added.

The video was a teaser for Gomez's upcoming mental health platform, Wondermind, which launches next year.
