"Self-awareness is key," the "Friends" alum explained. "I’ve really gotten a lot of therapy. Just being a public person, there’s a lot of amazing things that come with that. But there’s also a lot of tough stuff because we’re only human, and we tend to walk around with bulls-eyes on our heads."

"Sometimes you can’t help family members or people sending stuff over going, ‘What is this?’ ‘You’re having a baby?’ ‘Are you getting married?’" she continued. "It’s like, ‘Oh, good gosh, when and how many years will it take for you to ignore that silliness?’"
Aniston said she wants to be remembered as a beloved pal who made her loved ones laugh.
"I have a good heart, and I’m a great friend," said Aniston. "I lead with love."

"For me, I meditate every day – and sitting quietly writing," said Aniston. "That’s enough. And any kind of yoga practice is my meditation. I just have faith in a bigger picture, I guess. And I believe in humanity, even though there’s so much to discourage us from believing in it – but I do."
As for falling in love, Aniston is open to the idea – just don’t expect to see her on a dating app.

The star added she’s more focused on being with a "fantastic partner" as opposed to saying "I do" again. She was first married to Brad Pitt from 2000 until 2005, followed by Justin Theroux from 2015 until 2017.
"Oh God, I don’t know," said Aniston on getting married again. "It’s not on my radar. I’m interested in finding a fantastic partner and just living an enjoyable life and having fun with one another. That’s all we should hope for. It doesn’t have to be etched in stone in legal documents."
