Selena Gomez is living life with a positive attitude.
The 25-year-old singer and actress was a guest on "Good Morning America" on Friday, promoting her latest animated film, "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation," with co-star Andy Samberg. During the interview, Gomez opened up about some of the changes she's made to her lifestyle after undergoing a kidney transplant last fall.
"Honestly I've just kind of stepped back a bit," Gomez, who revealed in October 2015 that she had been diagnosed with lupus, said. "I'm enjoying my life."

In "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation," in theaters July 13, Gomez voices Count Dracula's daughter, Mavis, who is trying to help her single dad (Adam Sandler) find a love connection.
