    Rita Ora changed her life after seeking advice from a fortune teller

    The 34-year-old singer and actress admitted her workaholic lifestyle was taking a huge toll but it was only after speaking to a fortune teller, who only works with high- profile clients, that she decided to make some changes.


    Speaking on the 'Reign With Josh Smith' podcast, Rita explained: "She said to me, 'Your life is like a pile of sand in your palm and it can go through your fingers at any moment'.

    "It's about how you protect your one pile of life in the palm of your hand and make sure you move slowly and steadily.

    "That always stuck with me. I used to rush to things and be like, 'I want it now'.

    "I'm trying to move a bit more steadily and not react so much because once you react impulsively, it's usually something you'll end up regretting, right?

    "I try my best to just take a second before I respond to things. And that's helped me a lot."

    Rita also revealed that her psychiatrist mother Vera's suggestion she get therapy, helped her to move on from unhealthy relationships.

    The star - who tied the knot with director Taika Waititi, 49, in 2022 - said: "She never forced therapy on us, but there was always that essence of maybe you should speak to somebody.

    "And I did. Now I've just got really cool, great tools and I just feel more confident in my choices. I do have the best relationship with myself than ever before, I really do.

    "It's also made other relationships stand out that were not healthy.

    "And those people now are angry, but that is their problem and not mine.

    "I find that when you have that relationship with yourself, everything changes, you know?

    "You find things come to you that you're like, 'Whoa, how have I blocked that out?'. But it's taken me a while, and I'm still working on it.

    "I don't want to stop feeling good. That's the one thing I care about."
