Jennifer Aniston, 55, says she ‘loves’ her body but suffers from a disorder

Jennifer Aniston is in love with her body.

The 55-year-old actress explained that she has learned to embrace her body because it is 'doing the best it can'.

She told Allure: 'We've got to love our bodies. It's doing the best it can. It's been with us since the day we started, so we can't be too hard on it.

'Of course, we're all going to grow older, but how can we thrive as we grow older? And that is about giving your body the attention that it deserves.'

The Friends star also admitted that her 20s were 'a nightmare' but she enjoyed her 30s as she began to feel rewarded by working out.

Jennifer added: 'For me personally, I loved my 30s, but my 20s were nothing. I was a nightmare.'

And she admitted that she suffers from a disorder that can cripple her life.

'I didn't understand working out until my 30s and 40s.'

As far as her disorder, it is bad insomnia. 

The ex of Brad Pitt revealed she has a 'real hard relationship' with sleep and has had to shut herself away from receiving news at night.

Jennifer said: 'I really want to love it, and I am sure it wants to love me, but we have had a hard time, especially the last 10, 15 years.

'It's just hard to shut the brain down, hard to tell the committee to stop talking. I've had to shut the news off.

'I've had to give myself boundaries with information. You know what I mean?'

Aniston has been challenging herself to go to bed at 10pm on weeknights to improve her mental health by working on her sleep hygiene.

She revealed: 'I've been trying hard to put myself in bed during the week at 10pm, turn everything off and then just sit there and let the world come crashing in.

'I've been trying to meet that challenge for myself. Some days you're great and on point, and some days you're just not.

'I'm a big believer in trying not to be hard on yourself because the world is so mean right now and so aggressive and negative.

'So why would we do it to ourselves?'

This comes after she revealed something unusual inside her luxury $21M compound in Bel Air, California.

And it is something only the very rich have.

She shared a clip to Insta Stories from inside her roomy bathroom as she promoted her LolaVie haircare brand in time for Christmas.

During the video the cover girl showed off the bright white and pale gray room.

Behind her was a stunning floor-to-ceiling glass steam shower with recessed lighting and two pressurized showerheads as well as a built-in sitting area.

That type of shower, which is completely sealed to keep the steam in, runs over $25,000.

Another thing that stood out is that the Friends veteran had a fancy throw rug on the floor. Not a bath mat, but a pricey Oriental carpet.

Since Joining Instagram in 2019, the beloved leading lady has been steadily showing her massive fanbase her incredible mansion. 

Many times she has flashed the home in the back of her clips. 

Jennifer purchased the 8,500 square-foot home in 2011; the mansion was designed by A. Quincy Jones and completed in 1965.

Her mid-century home features four bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms with a wine cellar, pool, and guesthouse; it also has city and ocean views sitting on almost two acres of land.

It previously had a hillside vineyard but garden designer Marcello Villano and landscape architect Anne Attiger transformed her outdoor space into an oasis consisting of terraces, Asian-inspired pocket gardens and interconnected rooms, according to Architectural Digest.

Jennifer told the magazine during her February 2018 issue that she'd 'want to be a designer' if she wasn't an actress because she loves 'the process.'

The pal of Sandra Bullock said: 'There's something about picking up fabrics and finishes that feeds my soul.'

The actress said when she originally bought the home, architect Frederick Fisher had done a renovation but it was too minimal and cool for her taste, specifically the massive red-painted door.

She felt a connection with the home and worked with AD100 interior designer Stephen Shadley to help her transform the house into her home. 

In addition to Stephen, she also enlisted the help of designers Kathleen and Tommy Clements and Jane Hallworth.

A prominent peek inside Aniston's lavish home came in 2020 when she revealed her immaculate bathroom for her 'morning after' snap following the SAG awards. 

The image showed her SAG Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series and her vintage Dior gown slung over her marble bathtub, along with her heels strewn on the floor. 

The rectangular minimalist bathtub sits above ground, with a vintage-inspired faucet and temperature dials.

The movie star can open the floor-to-ceiling sliding door completely open for her bath to overlook her serene courtyard garden.

She maintains her privacy with a tall wooden fence, creating her own private sanctuary. 

The enormous backyard has an outdoor cabana with a fireplace next to large lounge chairs; the enormous pool features wood panels surrounding it. 

Moving on to the bedroom, Jennifer has a large taupe colored rug beneath a low-sitting bed for a seventies style feel.

The star has large lights behind her bed with bean bag-style chairs.
