Hi L&O fam 👋  Sarah here, Lake & Oak social media manager⁠.

Mental wellness is always top of mind for our team, and it’s especially important as we head into the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Enter: another edition of our mental wellness toolbox, featuring the practices & products helping me feel my best despite the mess. 

Morning Routine⁠

A daily routine helps avoid any early morning decision-making and sets me up for a creative and productive day. ⁠

For me, this looks like skincare, making coffee, doing my @FiveMinuteJournal, and twenty minutes of reading before I write my to-do list for the day. ⁠

Brain-Dumping⁠

When I feel overwhelmed, I'll dump everything onto the page to clear my head and figure out how I can move forward.⁠

Reading⁠

When I feel underwhelmed, I'll read. This gets me out of my head and usually inspires a new perspective. ⁠

⁠Wellness Support⁠

I'm a big fan of adaptogens, mushrooms, and good ol' vitamin D to give my body the boost it needs to manage stress, fatigue, and bolster my energy levels. ⁠

My go-to's are Lake & Oak's Ashwaghanda + Chill, Mega Matcha, and Beet Mylk. I add Rainbo Mushrooms Lion's Maine to my drinks throughout the day to help with mental clarity. ⁠

Hot Girl Walks⁠

Similar to a normal walk, except you think about the things you're grateful for, the things you want to achieve, and how hot you are aka things you love about yourself!⁠

It's a good excuse to get out of the house, get some fresh air, and invite gratitude & goal setting into your day. ⁠

If you made it this far, thank you for reading! Hope you found something that'll inspire mindfulness and gratitude and all the good feels for the days when you need it most 💛
