Most of us
experience the same Holiday stress every year.
We take on too much and the Holiday spirit is gone before it even
started.
Here are a few
tips to help you enjoy the upcoming
months:
Draw names: Are you
sick of being broke come December/January?
Draw names this year. No matter
what you tell yourself, you do not have to buy for every person in your
family. Draw names and everyone can do
something super special for one loved one.
Focus on people: Food doesn't have
to be center stage at Holiday gatherings. Instead focus on your friends,
family, and peers.
Give back: We often focus on
ourselves during the Holidays but this is a great time to give back.
Perhaps volunteer at the homeless shelter or provide Christmas for a family in
need.
Take space: Just
because family is in town does NOT mean you have to spend every waking hour
with them. You can still be a great host
by setting an activity they can do on their own.
Booze & treats: Libations and desserts are notorious for causing body
swelling and weight gain. Say it with us, "MODERATION. MODERATION.
MODERATION."
- If you're going to splurge, you better amp up your
exercise routine.
Drop the guilt: Many of us
experience the same Holiday weight drama every year. We gain a little and beat
ourselves up for months afterward. Drop the guilt. If you know you are going to
gain weight do it deliberately. If your goal is to maintain you will have to
put in the necessary work.
I hope this helps!
