Yet, she stuck with it, thanks in large part to 10 Percent Happier \u2014 \u201can app for meditation skeptics,\u201d much like herself, she notes with a laugh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSometimes I feel like I\u2019m thinking of so many different things that I miss the moment,\u201d she continues. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize how much that was happening until I started to really dig into mindfulness.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of that first month, a funny thing happened: The practice had taken root so deeply that now \u2014 nearly a year later \u2014 it\u2019s still an essential part of her daily routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Bosworth\u2019s inner voice has since mellowed out, even a pandemic hasn\u2019t lessened her output. \u201cLike everyone, I feel the emotional rollercoaster from day to day,\u201d Bosworth says, emphasizing the devastating impact of a disease that has already claimed the lives of over two million people worldwide. (That her parents are over 65 and that her mother suffers from an autoimmune disorder has been a constant source of anxiety.) Ultimately, she continues, the past eleven months have allowed her a chance to channel her creativity in new and even more meaningful ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe couldn\u2019t sit around and watch a year pass by and press pause,\u201d says Bosworth, who has recently adopted a pandemic uniform of super-soft Hardvark t-shirts, her husband\u2019s slouchy Levi jeans, and white Reebok sneakers. \u201cI think that there was an incredible opportunity this year to move inward and a huge opportunity for growth.\u201d True to form, Bosworth\u2014never one to limit the possibility that her self-expression might inspire others\u2014has been sharing that creative process over the last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14482\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14482\" style=\"width: 2999px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14482 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/02\/04-kate-bosworth.jpg\" alt=\"kate bosworth\" width=\"2999\" height=\"4000\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14482\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">RIBBED KNIT TOP, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ysl.com\/en-us\/shop-women\/ready-to-wear\/spring-21-looks\" target=\"_blank\">SHOP SIMILAR<\/a>, SAINT LAURENT.

Inspired by the idea of connection across space and time, she first started imagining how she might do that in her own corner of the internet after losing her grandmother. \u201cI never had the appropriate time set aside for it, but all the sudden I thought, \u2018Well, if ever there&#8217;s a time, I should really do this now,\u2019\u201d recalls Bosworth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this project, the 38-year-old is granting her hundreds of thousands of fans and followers unprecedented and unfiltered access to her innermost thoughts, influences, and inspirations. \u201cI think a lot of people see public figures and they think there must be a team of people behind the curtain, but every word is written by me, every photo is taken from me\u2026 It really is self-expression,\u201d she reveals. In other words, don\u2019t expect a Bosworth-branded Goop down the line. \u201cI don\u2019t have a two-year plan,\u201d she admits with a laugh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For now, she writes about what\u2019s on her mind (and her skin), whether it be a rose-gold highlighter from Westman Atelier; a recipe for chicken piccata, the first meal she cooked for her now 23-year-old stepdaughter, Jasper; or, an interview with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/amanda-gorman-inauguration-poem-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amanda Gorman<\/a>, which was published five months before the Youth Poet Laureate delivered her poem, \u201cThe Hill We Climb,\u201d at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the inauguration of <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/joe-biden-camp-david-hat-jacket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President Joe Biden<\/a> in January 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14596\" style=\"width: 2717px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/02\/gza-nyfw-covers-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2717\" height=\"3390\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TURTLENECK RIBBED KNIT, <a href=\"http:\/\/miumiu.com\/us\/en\/products.viscose_turtleneck_sweater.MMR382_YXM_F0N98.html?utm_campaign=GoogleShopping_US&amp;utm_medium=CPC&amp;utm_source=Google&amp;utm_content=Shopping&amp;s_kwcid=AL!8549!3!341935175219!!!g!298681048505!&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA4L2BBhCvARIsAO0SBdY-o6K7GPl2ORlma4RkNzQDW89hrqWo65gaIkDHfwxM8_90XUPUGqUaAsSXEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\">SHOP NOW<\/a>, MIU MIU.

She&#8217;s a deeply knowledgeable human being, but the breadth and the depth of her soul goes far beyong intellect\u2026.

(A childhood equestrian, Bosworth was perhaps more at home on the set of her very first film, 1998\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Horse Whisperer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.) Nevertheless, she was not deterred.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After tracking down a surf instructor in the Yellow Pages, she drove to Malibu every day for four straight weeks, where she spent seven hours a day learning how to master the sport. When the studio executives finally came to watch her, though, Bosworth didn\u2019t catch a single wave. \u201cI fell over and over and over again and I thought,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Wow, I really blew that<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d she recalls.

In 2018, she and Polish founded<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Montana Institute of the Arts, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">non-profit art school, for budding filmmakers; a year later, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">she launched the \u201cShe Directed\u201d campaign to provide<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> opportunities for female filmmakers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, she has a message for other women: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You are not supposed to know everything&#8230;.You only know what you know, and that is okay. You have to lean on people who you can trust and who you can really gain insight and stability from.\u201d Yet, even with two decades of experience under her belt, at times she still grapples with taking her own advice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cTo expose myself, to say, \u2018Wow, I am really struggling,\u2019 or, \u2018Wow, I\u2019m confused,\u2019 still hits me in a deeply uncomfortable way,\u201d she admits.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s in these moments, though, that Bosworth comes face to face with her strength.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She says, \u201cIt takes a hell of a lot of courage to be vulnerable. One cannot exist without the other, and I love that. Every time I think, \u2018Man, I\u2019m about to write an article, or play a role, or produce a project where I feel really vulnerable,\u2019 I always think, \u2018The possibilities on the other side of that are so amazing.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a way, that\u2019s the beauty of Bosworth\u2019s enduring pioneer spirit. Her vulnerability, passion, and dynamism push her forward into the great unknown, while her example inspires and makes the journey that much easier for the rest of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14486\" style=\"width: 2989px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14486 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/02\/08-kate-bosworth.jpg\" alt=\"kate bosworth\" width=\"2989\" height=\"4000\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BLAZER, <a href=\"https:\/\/us.louisvuitton.com\/eng-us\/search\/blazer\" target=\"_blank\">SHOP SIMILAR,<\/a> LOUIS VUITTON.
