How to Thrive Through the Holiday Season!

Did you miss the webinar on how to THRIVE through the holidays this year? No problem, re-listen to the tips and techniques that I use and make this your most successful season! Check out the list below!

1.) Choose your battles

• Plan what parties you need to go
• Say NO to excess parties and going out – flex your NO muscle
• Saying no means you’re saying yes to your goals
• Ask what you can bring and make it healthy!
• Eat before you go
• Drink lots of water
• SET YOUR INTENTIONS AHEAD OF TIME! Am I going to drink or indulge? How much?

2.) Keep a routine

• Number 1 reason people feel stress is because they are out of a routine.
• Have a reg workout routine and plan it
• Find a workout you can do when you are in a jam and memorize it – make sure you can do it anywhere
• Just keep moving! A body in motion stays in motion.

3.) Find time for yourself

• With company, family and more people everywhere, more work, more traffic, etc. we get stressed easier
• Give yourself more time to get around
• Plan quiet time or alone time
• Find 5 minutes to meditate
• Close your eyes and visualize your goals

4.) Keep your goals present

• Don’t just write this time of year off. You can have a huge head start
• You don’t have to be perfect
• This is a lifestyle so begin by practicing
• You will get better

5.) Surround yourself by a community of supportive people

• Many of you will have to seek this out.
• Yoga
• Ask people

6.) Spend time giving back with others

• Volunteering
• Bell ringing
• Immerse yourself in a good cause

7.) Save money by making gifts

• Mason Jars with favorite recipes attached and some of the ingredients inside
• Make your own sugar scrubs and put a nice saying on the outside
• Make a jar full with 30 days of why they rock
• Tell people you don’t want gifts this year and sponsor a family together instead or donate to a charity
• Draw names an only exchange with a couple people

8.) Create new traditions during the Holidays.

• Board games, walks, cards, caroling, sledding, skiing, snow ball fights etc.

9.) Shift your attitude to gratitude

• Be grateful for what you have
• Each night write down what you are grateful for that day

10.) Enjoy, be present and keep it in perspective.

• If you feel restricted, have a little something that makes you feel like your indulging
• There is no such thing as perfect
• If you know you can have something it’s no longer off limits and the temptation is less.
• It’s just a day, the only pressure we can feel is what we put on ourselves
• Remember to make it about togetherness and enjoying instead of the food and presents

Also, remember that my Busy Bodies Challenge LAST DAY to enroll is October 15th. This is a great challenge to keep you accountable and with a group of supporters to check in with at any time. You can Register HERE for the Challenge!
