23 time Grand Slam winning tennis player, business woman, fashion designer, wife , mother to a 2 year old, fighting for gender equality rights…. these are just some of the things that Serena Williams has achieved in her career so far.
And if you want to be a super achiever like her, the 38 year old Williams has tips on what she does everyday to remain productive. In an interview to CNBC Make It, Serena says, “Something I do every day is [to] completely turn my brain off, which sounds weird but because I work so much between tennis and running my other properties—Serena Ventures and Serena Clothing.
But it’s a lot so I just need to turn my brain off and not think about anything. Sometimes it’s mediation. Sometimes it’s watching a program [on TV] that has nothing to do with anything, like something that is silly or fun.
It’s a lot easier now because I can just watch my baby. It really helps me to focus on her and focus on the moment and not think about anything else. And I purposely do that with her because I know that I just need to shut off.
(It allows me to) reset and get more energized to go train the next day or take more work calls.” Serena says the second habit she has inculcated is to drink at least a gallon of water a day, even when she is not training.
“That is one thing that I make sure that I always do.” Serena’s sister Venus also appeared on the programme last year and said her habits included sleeping eight hours a day and laying off junk food.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion recently shared a video of her morning makeup routine and featured her daughter in the video.
Serena Williams’s life changed in 2017 after she had her daughter Olympia. Since becoming a mother, the 23-time Grand Slam champion has tried to balance life as a professional athlete and parenthood. Serena is active on social media and has over 12 million followers on Instagram. She often engages her fans and even shares beauty tips on her Instagram stories. While she normally does most of the videos highlighting her nighttime make up routine, she recently shared her morning makeup routine and featured her daughter in the video.
Olympia stars in her mother’s makeup video.
The former world number one tried to explain her morning routine, but her daughter persistently interrupted her. Olympia was cute and adorable in the video. She played with her mother’s makeup kit while Serena tried to concentrate on her giving her presentation. Her two-year-old daughter wandered in and out of the video frame, and she constantly had to record fresh takes for the video. Serena showed incredible patience with her daughter as she applied her make up. The 38-year-old usually posts her beauty tips on Instagram in a short series of videos titled “Woke up like this.”
Serena has embraced her new life as a mother
Serena has embraced her new life as a mother. However, she recently admitted that it was difficult balancing her professional life with her family life. Serena posted a beautiful message on Instagram expressing her appreciation to all working mothers for the hard work they put in. She admitted that since having her daughter, her life had changed drastically, and she has often traveled to tennis matches feeling tired after spending time with her family. However, the 38-year-old has maintained her high professional standards on the tennis court.
In January, she won her first title since her comeback at the Auckland Open. She went on to have some solid matches at the Australian Open but was upset in the third round by Wang Qiang. She put her disappointment behind her and helped Team USA qualify for the Fed Cup Finals after guiding the team to their playoff victory over Latvia. Serena has not played since her appearance in the Fed Cup qualifiers and has taken the time off to spend time with her family. She also launched her latest fashion designs at the New York Fashion Week last month. The 23-time Grand Slam champion will return to action this month at the Indian Wells Open.
