Wellness secrets from Emily Oberg, founder of Sporty & Rich

I try not to check my phone as soon as I wake up, but living in Los Angeles while my team is in Paris 9 hours early complicates things. I brush my teeth, scratch my tongue, take my dietary supplements, drink a liter of room-temperature water and go to my Pilates class. I usually eat a piece of fruit or a yoghurt, as I don't like to stay on an empty stomach.

Everything I do has an influence on the Sporty & Rich brand and the products we design for Sporty & Rich Beauty. Above all, I love working on products that I'm passionate about, and in which I have a personal interest. Without that, it would be difficult for me to develop fully. I draw inspiration from my own routines to build my brand: the products I use, the skincare products I use, all my little daily habits...

I exercise every day: I play tennis, I like to go to the gym or take part in group classes... I eat a healthy and varied diet (taking particular care to limit processed foods). I also like to journal, meditate, breathe and spend time outdoors, especially in nature. I love hiking in Los Angeles and walking in Paris. For my mental health, I see two different therapists and read a lot of books on personal development. I also listen to a lot of podcasts on the subject.

I need to exercise once or twice a day, every day. I love to move my body and sweat, I feel so good. I do Hot Pilates and tennis, I also do light jogging on a treadmill and sometimes I do my own workout with light weights. 

I always make sure to express my gratitude at any time of the day. I think it's important to remember all the good things I have in my life, so that when something negative happens, I don't dwell on it too much. I think living in a state of gratitude is the key to happiness.

I'd say it's important to prioritize, to distance yourself from work and the need to be available to everyone at all times. I think it's also important to make promises to yourself and keep them. Find something you love, whether it's a workout or a wellness routine, because if you don't love it, you probably won't do it. The aim of life is to make every moment as enjoyable as possible.
