Life on the road isn’t always glamorous. Constant travel, late nights, being away from home, and the pressures of performing can weigh heavily on any musician’s mental health. But for Lime Cordiale, it’s essential to stay grounded and maintain balance amidst the chaos.
Their secret? A mix of ice baths, natural light, breathing exercises, and moments of creativity, like sketching or journaling, to clear their heads.
For Louis Leimbach, practising “half an hour of breathing every morning,” helps, as well as working on his art and linocuts. “It’s nice to have this time to myself, it’s also nice having an artistic outlet,” he says.

Two hours before the show, the brothers jump in an ice bath or cold plunge to “keep the mind sane and active,” says Oli. Touring can be exhausting, both physically and mentally, but finding time for self-care is a game-changer.
Whether you’re travelling this season, or just going about your everyday life, Lime Cordiale recommend checking out nib’s The Check Up for simple yet effective ways to improve mental wellbeing in under five minutes.
