Your Pillars. Put Them to Work.

At LBL, you know how we love our Pillars. Nourishment, mindfulness, movement, sleep, nature and connection are the framework behind everything we do.

Pillar Practice is about putting them into action. The following are levers you can always come back to when you want to feel your best. Here are two ideas for each.

NOURISHMENT

• Anchor breakfast with protein. Add Greek yogurt, eggs or cottage cheese to your morning.

• Add one more plant. Beans in your soup, berries at breakfast, another vegetable at dinner.

MINDFULNESS

• Pause before the automatic yes. Pause-Notice-Choose™: Do I want to do this? Do I have room for it?

• Empty your head onto paper. Take five minutes to write down what’s circling. Keep it or shred it.

MOVEMENT

• Book two strength sessions. Put them on your calendar with a time and a plan.

• Take your catch-up for a walk. Invite a friend or take a phone call on your feet.

SLEEP

• Keep a consistent wake-up time. Choose one you can stick with most days.

• Set a wind-down alarm. Give yourself 30 minutes to dim the lights, put work away and let the day end.

NATURE

• Take your first cup outside. Leave your phone behind. Notice the light, air and sounds.

• Walk without the soundtrack. Skip the podcast and pay attention to what’s around you.

CONNECTION

• Make the date. Turn “we should get together” into a specific invitation.

• Put your connections on repeat. A standing walk, monthly dinner or Sunday call keeps it consistent.

Pillar Practice: Pick one Pillar. Choose one action. Get after it.
