Jada Pinkett Smith will bring in 2019 doing “Spiritual work.”
The actress revealed this information during Monday’s NYE edition of “Red Table Talk,” with her daughter Willow and mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris.
“It’s like a burning ceremony,” she said. “I’ll write down something that I need to purify — ‘Jada, you’re ugly’ — if I feel like that about myself and I’ve felt like that about myself a few times…I’ll put it in a bowl, light it up.”
“It’s part of an action that lets go that negative idea about myself and I replace it with a new narrative: ‘Jada, you’re beautiful,'” she continued. “It turns into a mantra and that might be a mantra that I’ll have to carry for months until it becomes…the new narrative.”
Jada and Will Smith 21st wedding anniversary is also on NYE, but the couple no longer celebrate their nuptials because as “life partners” they look at the day “differently.”
“It’s more of a life partnership, so it’s not steeped in marital, in that day,” Jada said. “We don’t really celebrate that day, you know what I’m saying, anymore in that sense because the context of our union is totally different.”
She continued,
“Usually Will on New Years likes to be in an adventure in the world somewhere.” “There’s no telling where he’s gonna be! And I like to be inside. I don’t want to be out in the world… He now has the freedom [to] go have an awesome adventure of some kind.”
“Red Table Talk” airs Mondays on Facebook Watch.
