Holidays will be here in a blink, here are 3 tips to get you started on the right track.

♦️3 TIPS TO START THE HOLIDAYS STRONG♦️

1. Prepare your mindset! Decide today to focus on the reason for the season which is Jesus! Choose to plan your days and protect and prioritize your time over the holidays. Get a new journal or write down in your calendar your focus and your action plan for these next 6 weeks. Recommit to it daily.

2.Prioritize your movement time this season. Shift your mindset from “I have to workout because I ate too much” to “I get to workout so I can serve my loved ones well”. If we are not taking care of ourselves and our bodies, how can we love others well and live fully for Christ? Fitness is not only about how you look but how you LIVE. Release perfectionism this season. Aim to maintain your workouts, your walks, yoga, and your quiet time. Maintain your healthy habits of movement daily, extra water, and more green foods! Set aside time to set your mind for a successful day, reminding yourself that your health is essential. Thanksgiving and Christmas is time to celebrate our blessings, family, and Jesus.

3. Plan and choose your indulgences. Planning what & when you can and will control. This is a secret to your success. If you know there is a delicious dessert at the party you will attend, enjoy a small portion, release any guilt, and then have a healthy breakfast the next morning and an extra glass of water. Plan for it! Skip the worldly holiday eating plan of over eating and ditch the diet culture that says you can’t be healthy over the holidays. Enjoy your holiday events with moderation and mindfulness.

Sweet friend, let’s forget about perfectionism over the holidays and go into the holidays with a mindset shift. Think differently going into the holiday season. Make a positive shift in 2022. You can make time to move, you can eat healthy and have treats in moderation, not the all or nothing mentality. Today, get unstuck in the performance and perfectionism culture. Our primary motivation is to honor the body God gave us. Yes, our Holiday Extravaganza starts next week. We are excited to encourage each other to maintain healthy habits daily. Christ centered accountability to keep you LIVING your best during the holidays! Praying for you!
