Trust me on this one, It’s not just you, most people are stressed at this time. It's hard to keep up with everything, whether it's work, or end of the year stuff, or getting ready for the holidays or going to all the holiday parties, it can feel like it's going to burn you out!
To help you out a little I've created a list of ways to help you stay on track. Refer back to it this month to help you and always remember to give yourself grace. We are not perfect and we certainly don't have all the time in the world, but I promise this will help you!
You've got this!!! Enjoy this month!
Thriving Through the Holidays Checklist
Make your plans TODAY. If you love last-minute shopping, leave a couple of small things undone, but get all the big things handled ASAP … and make packing or organizing lists if your holidays involve travel or entertaining.
Make time for movement EVERY DAY. This will help you destress, sleep better, and boost your energy, metabolism, and immune system. If 10 minutes is all you got, that is fine! A little will go a long way.
Eat till you’re satisfied (not stuffed!). Decide now that this will be your plan of action! I know we can overdo it on the holidays and that's ok, but if your goal is too feel good and not feel gross, try to listen to your body and no when it is satisfied before stuffing it!
Enjoy your favorite holiday treats. Do not miss out because you are on a diet! This is once a year. It will be ok. No guilt.
Make time for sleep. A rested body & mind = better mood, less stress, and more vibrant health.
Go outside for some fresh air and sunshine every day. This is a proven stress-buster!
Create a fallback plan. Things will go sideways at some point. But when you have a plan, you won’t stress out when it happens.
When you boil your to-do lists down to the actions that really make a difference – and eliminate the things that don’t – it’s amazing how much you can accomplish... WITHOUT the stress.
This is the same approach we use with our clients. We create a roadmap of the BEST actions that will propel them toward their goals.
Here’s to less stress and more of what really matters!
Make it an amazing day!
Don't forget I have a program, that helps you with all your planning and how to stay on track. If you want to hear more about it, set up a time in my calendar for a zoom chat!
See you there!
