Ivanka Trump laments the campaign was so grueling she didn’t have time for a massage or to meditate

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/ivanka-trump-laments-the-campaign-was-so-grueling-she-didnt-have-time-for-a-massage-or-to-meditate/

Ivanka Trump has revealed in a new book that the pressures of her father’s presidential election campaign were such that she went into “survival mode” and did not have time for massages or meditation.

Trump, who has been appointed as a White House adviser by President Donald Trump and founded an eponymous fashion business, said she wrote the book, Women Who Work , because she wanted to "debunk the superwoman myth."

"During extremely high-capacity times, like during the campaign, I went into survival mode: I worked and I was with my family; I didn’t do much else," Trump writes, according to an excerpt published by Fortune .

"Honestly, I wasn’t treating myself to a massage or making much time for self-care. I wish I could have awoken early to meditate for 20 minutes and I would have loved to catch up with the friends I hadn’t seen in three months, but there just wasn’t enough time in the day," she continues.
