- I think I've made a career out of stress-free living.
One of the reasons why I got the role of Vince on Entourage,
is because I was so easygoing and nonchalant.
Hi, my name is Adrian Grenier.
I'm an actor, environmentalist,
founder of Lonely Whale.
This is my Thrive Diary.

A technique that I use,
for life and also in the work that I do
for the oceans is the macro/micro technique.
I think I invented it because I just made up this.
It's called micro/macro technique.
When you're dealing with such large things,
like the ocean or 10 million tons of plastic in the ocean.
It's so overwhelming and big
that you can become stressed.
So the things that stress us out
are the things that we can't manage,
or the things that feel outside of our control
and so it gives us anxiety.
It makes us feel small.
So I think it's important to
be able to witness and recognize the big things
but then always come back to something
very present, and immediate, and in the moment.
Something that's tangible.
Something that's here and now.
Something that's personal.
And that's the way you move forward,
baby steps, one step in front of the other.
I can't tell, Arianna will be mad at me.
I get my phone and I turn of my alarm,
because I use it as my alarm.
I did, I'm sorry Arianna, I know.
I did buy an alarm clock,
to have so I could actually keep my phone away from...
(inhales deeply)
It just didn't work out,
I don't know what to tell you.
I wanna give you the answer.
I'm flawed, Man!
I'm working on it.
Right now I'm really inspired by the launch of
our new campaign to rid the world
of single use plastic water bottles.
It's called, #HydrateLike and we are asking people
to reconsider how they consume liquids.
Asking people to stop using plastic water bottles
in lieu of reusables
or any number of alternatives out there.
Recently I've been struggling myself
with some dark stuff and some challenges.
So the thing that gives me hope
is the fact that despite
the continuous challenges I have to face in my life,
I feel like I have the capacity to endure,
and come out the other side.
