Watch: Gisele Bündchen Reflects Amid "Silent Struggles"

Gisele Bündchen has no time for negativity.

That's why the supermodel has a timer on her phone to cap her social media usage, ensuring that she only uses it improve her mindfulness such as looking up cooking recipes and gathering home decor inspiration.

"I spend maybe an hour a week on social media," Gisele—who is an ambassador for IWC Schaffhausen—exclusively told E! News at the luxury watch brand's Art Basel event Dec. 8. "Otherwise, we become addicted to it. So, I think we have to be mindful of that."

And same goes for son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, who she shares with ex Tom Brady. As the 43-year-old explained, their kids' access to social media is also limited so they can use their time wisely.

"Time is the most important thing you have—it's your biggest currency," Gisele put it. "If you fill your time with things that are mindful and that you intentionally choose, you would spend less time doing mindless things that are a waste of time."

For the Brazil native, that means putting the phone away at 9 p.m. every night for more time with family.

"I have a very tight schedule, I have a lot of things in my day," she said. "Being with my kids is so much more important."

Being offline is also an opportunity to recharge.

"Taking my rest is something I've learned" Gisele, who has been vocal about the importance of self-care, shared. "Having the time to really rest has been a big thing for me."

While sleep, exercise, mediation and a healthy diet with plenty of hydration are aspects of her personal routine, Gisele said the key to wellness is "spending the time with people that you love."

"Because that brings joy," she noted. "You can't forget the joy."
