Kate Hudson has lost ''the desire to thrill-seek.''

The 35-year-old actress, who split from Muse rocker Matt Bellamy last year, admits she has stopped putting pressure on herself to be perfect and isn't as competitive as she used to be.

She said: ''I felt a shift and really don't have the desire to thrill-seek anymore.''

But the 'Bride Wars' star enjoys more intense exercise sessions in the gym now as it helps to clear her mind.

She told Shape magazine: ''I've been switching up from the softer stuff, like Pilates and yoga, to more aggressive activities like TRX and boxing. I really enjoy sweating it out, and it helps me clear my mind. It's not just about trying to look good physically, it's important to get oxygen to my brain and feel like my blood is really circulating. I love skiing, walking, hiking and especially riding my bike. It makes me feel like a kid again!

Despite being known for her svelte figure, Kate, who has two sons, Ryder, 11, with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and Bingham, three, with Matt, claims she never diets.

The 'Wish I Was Here' star explained: ''I hate the idea. It puts so much pressure on people to lose weight quickly. Getting healthy is not a two-week process, it's a change of life-style.

''I was at my favourite French restaurant in Paris... eating everything I love...steak, fries, lots of wine. Then the dessert came, and I was having strawberries and cream pastries plus the wine. [Then,] a svelte, sophisticated woman approached [my] table. She pointed to my glass of wine [and said] 'This is your piece of cake. That's how you should be thinking.' And I always try to remember that: Everything in moderation!''
