Troye Sivan has revealed how he keeps himself mentally healthy.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph on the weekend, the Australian pop star, 29, said there were three main things he used to manage his mental health.
‘Exercise, genuine connection with friends or family, and taking some time off,’ he admits.
The Rush hitmaker claimed that though he is busy, taking time off especially is important.
‘I’m pretty firm about my weekends and my work hours, too. I really try to prioritise time off.’
The singer-songwriter also reflected on what he would advise his teenage self after knowing what he knows now.
‘I would just say, “Trust yourself.” I believe there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to your perspective.
‘I never really feel the pressure to look over my shoulder and compare myself to anyone else, because I’m doing what feels right to me, and what feels exciting to me, and what’s true to me.

‘Listen to yourself, and everything else kind of falls into place,’ the pop star said.
It comes as Troye recently branded claims he is only on tour with Charli XCX to meet people on Grindr as ‘genuinely homophobic.’
The One Of Your Girls singer pulled no punches as he responded to a since-deleted ‘blind item’ that was picked up by TikTok account Celebritea Blinds.
It alleged that Troye’s co-headlining North American Sweat tour with Charli XCX was experiencing lacklustre ticket sales.
‘Exercise, genuine connection with friends or family, and taking some time off,’ he admits. The Rush hitmaker claimed that though he is busy, taking time off especially is important’
It also went on to claim Troye didn’t care about ticket sales and was only interested in hooking up with men via the gay dating app Grindr.
‘His label doesn’t contribute at all to his tour so he doesn’t really care about sales,’ the blind item claimed.
‘He is just happy to be on the road and hitting Grindr at every stop.’
A clearly annoyed Troye took to TikTok to respond to the claims.
‘Straight people are getting way too comfortable,’ he said in the short rebuttal video.
‘I released an album. I am touring the album with Charli XCX.
The singer-songwriter also reflected on what he would advise his teenage self after knowing what he knows now. ‘I would just say, “Trust yourself.” I believe there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to your perspective’ he said
‘We are playing 22 shows across the country that are 95 per cent sold out by the way. the only city that we’re flopping in is Nashville, and it’s at 78 per cent.’
Troye added that he didn’t need an app to cultivate relationships.
‘To say that I am touring the country to go on Grindr at every stop, like, that’s genuinely homophobic. It’s a genuine stereotype,’ he said.
‘Don’t sex shame me. I don’t need to travel the country to get laid. I can get laid wherever I want. I can get laid in LA.’
In his sign off, he reiterated that tickets were actually selling for the 22-date tour.
‘I’m going on tour because I released an album and people are buying tickets to see the show, so f**k you,’ he said.
