Holiday Stress, yes draw a line through that word. The holidays seem to put a deadline on when to host or attend parties, when to buy gifts, wrap, and exchange. What are the holidays really about? Is it about posting the perfect picture of your family wearing coordinating outfits? It is about cooking and baking the most delicious meal out of everyone you know? Or is it about finding the most perfect gift? The bottom line… the holidays are not meant to make you stressed out. It is about spending time with family and friends, making memories, and to enjoy living in those moments.
3 Ways to Holiday destress….!
- Catch up on sleep. Sleep is so overlooked and can be the key to weight loss and feeling better overall.
- Stay active. This can be as simple as walking with your dog around the neighborhood or an activity that you enjoy doing.
- Mindfully eat. Of course there are holiday treats and there is nothing wrong with enjoying them! Choose to eat your normal meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and have a small bite of the holiday sweets (moderation, not binging). If you have a sweet tooth try having a piece of fruit first instead of twice the amount of cookies.
