In PEOPLE’s exclusive look at the March issue ofWomen’s Health, theBriarpatchstar, 40, opened up about her decision to give up smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol.
“I want to cleanse my body,” she explained. “I want to have as much clarity as possible and be very intentional about every day.”

Since making her father’s health a focus in her life, Dawson has made a point to alsoprioritize self care.
“I will take a bath ordo a face maskor read something poetic that’s just for me,” she toldWomen’s Health. “It’s only been in recent years where I’m like, ‘Let me get a massage.’ It’s actually necessary. If I don’t prioritize mindfulness, I am not going to be there for everybody in the way I need to be.”
Making sure she gets her blood flowing and follows a healthy diet are also a part of her wellness routine.
“I’ll dance in my house for hoursto Afrobeat, ‘80s music, or house music and break a sweat. Going for a long hike and talking with someone — I can do that any day of the week,” she says, adding that while she mostly follows aplant-based, vegan diet, she still lets herself indulge from time to time with a “peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”
Her father’s health has also helped Dawson be more present.
“I have that East Coast energy of just go, go, go. But it really is beautiful when you take your time,” she added.
The March issue ofWomen’s Healthis on stands February 11.
