Be mindful of HOW you want to FEEL this season – or who you
choose to be. Select 3 words that clearly describe how you want
to feel and behave this season and check in with these
intentions daily. Let them guide all your decision making.
Recognize your emotional triggers & establish safeguards for
yourself. What tips you into anger, into bingeing on food or
alcohol, or into overspending? How can you either avoid these
triggers or prepare yourself so that you are less reactive?
Establish your top 3 priorities for the holidays & let go of the
rest. Discuss with your partner or family – which traditions or
experiences feel the most meaningful to you? Make time for
these and give yourself permission to opt out of the rest.
Allow space & time for purposeful self care. What are the 3
primary ways in which you will care for yourself over the
holidays. Some ideas: move your body daily; maintain a regular
sleep/wake cycle; book some days completely off work to rest.
Take some immune/gut/adrenal supports over the holiday
season. This tends to be a season of over indulgence which does
not support our physical health. My top 3 picks for this season
include: curcumin; a multi strain probiotic; an adaptogen blend.
Hydrate well & love yourself with simple, nourishing foods.
Choose your favorite holiday treats and enjoy them guilt free!
Top 3 tips: 10 c water or herbal tea each day; eat plenty of
vibrant veggies; focus on fat, protein & plant fiber rich meals.
