Life can sometimes feel like a spinning top, trying to stay upright while navigating return-to-office traffic jams, registering for summer camps, experimenting with which foods your toddler will eat this week and, you know, general existential anxieties. But fear not, weary travelers on the road to joy. We’re here to inject a healthy dose of mischief and mindfulness into your day, sharing our favorite ways to flip the script on stress.

Imagine waking up every day brimming with a soft-swept kiss of sunshine (even if just a hint of it!), ready to tackle the world with a twinkle in your eye and a spring in your step. Sounds impossible, right? It may be closer than you think. Come along with us as our team explores making a lifestyle transition so smooth it’ll make satin look scratchy.

Ditch the Doom Scroll.
One weekend a month, our digital marketing director takes a device holiday; think: putting her phone down, stepping away from the 24/7 news cycle, and unplugging from the negativity vortex. Instead of facing the energy-draining nightly login, she prefers to deep-dive into the power of real connections. This looks like snuggling up with her 17-month old son and furry rescue pups, enjoying the peaceful presence of nature on a hike (Mount Falcon is her local favorite) or gathering her three best pals for a 3-course THC-drink-meal pairing starring all three flavors of Fable. After all, connection is the antidote to isolation.

Move Your Groove Thing.
Forget the gym’s fluorescent lights and intimidating treadmills. We’re more about making intentional movement that feels good, not forced. This could mean flowing with the grace of a yogi, stretching like a cat basking in the sun, or letting loose with a full-family living room dance party. A stress-free life, for us, involves celebrating our bodies and finding joy in every move, often made even more enjoyable after a few sips of our favorite Fable flavor.

Find Bathtub Nirvana.
Picture this: the warm embrace of water, the gentle scent of calming essential oils, your favorite podcast queued up and a Best Zest by your side for a little extra oomph (don’t tell our co-founder Ben we told you his secret to mindfulness!). It’s not just about hygiene, dear friends, it’s about finding your sanctuary. Let worries melt away like bath bombs in the tub, and emerge feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the day (or, you know, order takeout and watch cat videos. No judgment here).

Take a Deep Breath
Feeling overwhelmed? For us, re-setting for the day can be as simple as taking a minute, closing our eyes, and inhaling peace, exhaling stress. It sounds simple, but trust us, those deep breaths are like magic bullets for our frazzled minds. Imagine each inhale as a dose of optimism, and each exhale as a release of negativity.

Make Nature Our BFF.
Ditch the concrete jungle and reconnect with the earth. Hike through a forest, sit beneath a tree and soak up the sun or, if you’re like our head of DTC, hit the links! Nature has a way of grounding us and reminding us of the bigger picture. Don’t forget to bring your favorite Fable flavor – it’s the perfect companion for outdoor adventures.

Remember, this is a journey, not a destination. There will be bumps along the road, but with a little intention, some mischievous fun, and maybe a touch of Fable magic, we can cultivate a life that’s vibrant, joyful, and oh-so-chill. So, share your secrets, friends. Let’s inspire each other to live our best lives, one mindful choice at a time, because, let’s face it, the world needs more laughter, more dance parties, and a whole lot more inner zen.
