In Soap Hub’s latest Wellness Wednesday feature, we talk to Laura Wright, who plays “Mafia Queen” Carly Corinthos (soon-to-be-Morgan?) on General Hospital. On-screen and off, Wright manages to juggle a lot while looking both glamorous and wholesome simultaneously. How does she do it? Read on to get the scoop on staying well from the Daytime Emmy-winning fan favorite!
What is your go-to activity for health and wellness?
My go-to activity for health and wellness is weight training and hiking.
Why is wellness important to you?
Wellness is important to me because it’s the foundation for everything in your life. If you’re not healthy, you’re not living your best life.
How do you keep a healthy mind?
I keep a healthy mind by meditating — it’s time I get to be with myself and my dreams and challenges.
Do you have any wellness tips or tricks?
There are no wellness “tricks.” The tip is just to do it. We are all busy and we all have crazy lives. Put your health first — and be kind to yourself. The “no pain, no gain” mentality doesn’t work for everyone!
Wright also shares additional thoughts on wellness via her Instagram page. She says she’s learned to treasure each day because life is short. “I think about this every morning when I wake up – How many days do I have left??” Wright rhetorically asked in a social media post. “How many sunrises and sunsets? How many amazing experiences?? Who will I meet today – what adventure or challenge will I face? All gifts — because it’s a journey- my incredible journey!!! #yourthoughtscreateyourreality #grateful #dontsweatthesmallstuffEVER.”
“YESSSS!!!!!!” posted Wright on another occasion (ironically on a Wednesday!). “We get one shot at this adventure called life !! (That we are aware of) So much time can be wasted judging others!! I say stay in your lane and live and love BIG Xoxoxox. Happy Beautiful Wednesday!!!!! #grateful #lifeisbeautiful #itsuptoyou.”
Earlier this year, Wright celebrated 30 (!) years in daytime drama. She began her career as Ally Rescott on the gone-but-never-forgotten Loving as well as on its later incarnation, The City, and is also known for her run as Cassie on Guiding Light.
